 * Hello,
 * I am trying to automatic populate a gravity form field in de overlay but it doesn’t
   work.
    The shortcode placed in the popup maker looks like this: [gravityforms
   id=1 field_values=’event_name={merge_tag}’] The populated field output is {merge_tag}
   instead of the value that needs to be the merge-tag.
 * Thanks

 * [@maximaal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximaal/) – I am not sure that
   merge_tags work in that way. Their docs don’t show any field_values examples 
   using that. If they do then the problem would actually be in Gravity Forms and
   how they are processing the shortcode, seems something is going wrong. But I 
   think its more likely that merge tags can’t be used there as they are not defined
   until after the form is submitted.
 * Best bet is to reach out to Gravity Forms support as the issue doesn’t seem related
   to Popup Maker.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Thanks for the feedback.
    Without popup maker so placing the form into a page
   it works. Even wit multiple mergetags as field_values. Is there a sort of “inline
   style” to place the content of the overlay? So instead of placing the content
   off the page.
 * Thanks.

 * [@maximaal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximaal/) – You can use the 
   shortcode [popup id=”test”] Content here [/popup]
 * And then
 * [popup_trigger id=”test”] Click Me [/popup_trigger]
 * Or
 * `<span class="popmake-test"> Click Me </span>`
 * Hope that helps.

 * Yes, this is working!!
 * The only thing is now I want to style the popup overlay.
 * [popup id=”test”] content [/popup]
    [popup_trigger id=”test” tag=”button”] CLICK[/
   popup_trigger]
 * When I am using:
    [popup id=”test”] content [/popup] [popup_trigger id=”test”
   tag=”button” class=”popmake-157″] CLICK [/popup_trigger]
 * The overlay becomes empty.
    So can I combine content inline with a certain overlay
   style/theme?

 * update: I am using/changing the default theme option which is working except 
   for the “CLOSE” button. Although I set it to a custom text and Top-right it keep
   at the bottom and a “deafult cross”.

   seen that before. If you want to submit an issue on our github with some screenshots
   I would be happy to take a look.
