Popy – Simple Popups

Popy – Simple Popups

Description

Popy lets you display a beautiful timed popup on your WordPress site — and remembers when a visitor dismisses it so you never annoy them twice.

How it works

  1. The popup appears after a configurable delay (default: 10 seconds).
  2. When a visitor closes it, a cookie is set for a configurable number of days (default: 7).
  3. The popup will not appear again until the cookie expires.

Features

  • Simple on/off toggle — enable or disable the popup instantly.
  • Configurable delay (seconds) and cookie lifetime (days).
  • Fully editable content: emoji/icon, eyebrow, title, subtitle, body, footnote.
  • Two call-to-action buttons with custom labels and URLs (mailto:, tel:, and https:// all supported).
  • Optional dismiss link (“No thanks”) with custom text.
  • Single accent colour picker that styles the primary button and eyebrow label.
  • Optional close-on-overlay-click.
  • Live preview in the admin panel — see changes as you type.
  • “Reset cookie” button in the admin so you can re-test without clearing browser cookies.
  • Compatible with WPBakery Page Builder.
  • Auto-updates via GitHub Releases — no manual ZIP uploads needed.
  • Accessibility-ready: role="dialog", aria-modal, focus management, and ESC-key support.
  • Respects prefers-reduced-motion.
  • No third-party scripts, no tracking, no upsells.

Auto-updates

Popy self-updates from its GitHub Releases page. When a new version is tagged, WordPress will surface the update in Dashboard Updates exactly like a repository plugin.

Installation

  1. Upload the popy-popup folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Popy in the admin sidebar to configure the popup.

FAQ

Does it show on every page?

Yes — by default the popup appears on all pages and posts. There is no page-specific targeting in v1.0.0.

What happens when a visitor closes the popup?

A cookie (popy_dismissed) is set in the visitor’s browser for the number of days you configure (default: 7). The popup will not appear again until the cookie expires.

Can I use mailto: or tel: links in the buttons?

Yes. Both mailto: and tel: schemes are supported in the button URL fields.

Is it compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. The cookie check happens entirely in JavaScript on the client side, so it works correctly even when pages are served from cache.

How do auto-updates work?

Popy checks the GitHub Releases page for the plugin repository. When a new release is tagged, WordPress will notify you in the admin dashboard just like any other plugin update.
