    Hello

    Very easy user friendly plugin, thanks.

    Maybe this is not possible for you to answer, however, I will try anyway.

    I would like to design a page in wordpress without showing all the usual theme content(menu, picture etc.) I want to make a simple guideline to popup where only some text is shown – not all of the theme content.
    In other popups I have seen, it is often php files that opens in the popup link. Can I edit a page in order not to show all content of the theme?

    Can you maybe help me in anyways in order to solve my problem?

    Thanks in advance

    It should be possible to achieve this by using a URL parameter in the link (the ‘url’ shortcode parameter) and edit the page template to detect this and show the excerpt instead of the full content when it is present.

    Okay 🙂

    It sounds a bit difficult to do? I have only experience in wordpress, simple html (no php)

    Do you have a link to a manual or video to do it?

    Thanks for your quick response and help

    I don’t know know of any specific tutorials that might help with this, but documentation is available for the various functions you’d need.

    You should be able to find details of the functions you can use to put it together in the codex. eg: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_query_var tells you how to get a url patameter (aka query variable) and the section on Custom Query Vars in that page is important as you would be using a custom url parameter.

    Then you would use an if loop in the page template to show either the full content or the excerpt depending on the presence/value of the parameter.

    You will find documentation for creating Page templates at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates
