Close Pop-Up Page Automatically – Post Action

    Hello. Just started using the plugin. Very cool. However, I don’t understand how the plugin to the close the window, is any different than the visitor clicking on the ‘X’. Both are not ideal.

    On the page that pops up, I have action buttons that link to an underlying pages. I didn’t have ‘open in a new window’ checked, so the underlying page opened in the same popup window. I got around this by enabling ‘open in a new window’.

    Now, as another other posted noted…the popup window stays behind. It would be amazing if the popup window closed automatically when following a link that takes you outside of the popup page.

    I have some budget left and I’m happy to make a donation if you can add that functionality in.

    I don’t follow what you’re asking for. A link to the page might help, but it sounds like what you are asking about is far beyond the intended scope of this simple plugin and the use-case is very specific to to your site.

    It’s actually a VERY common thing I’m looking for. For example, say you receive a Newsletter Signup pop-up. What happens after you enter your info and click Submit? The pop-up closes. It does not stay open and require you to click X or dismiss to close it.

    OK that explains what you’re asking in a clearer way.

    Closing the window on submitting a form would need to be handled by javascript attached to your submit button. It wouldn’t be part of the popup plugin.

    abhinav.kakku, This is a resolved topic and not related to your question, so you really should have started a new topic.

    However, what you have asked about is not possible as this is not a lightbox plugin. As stated in the plugin documentation the purpose of the plugin is to open a link in a new browser window.
