 * It seems that auto popups are popular, but I hate them.. Is there a way to have
   the light box ONLY come up when a button is clicked.

 * I just discovered there is an Open-on-click feature discussed in the docs. Unfortunately
   it does not seem to be available in the “free” version. Is this correct? (Don’t
   see that listed as a Pro feature)

 * Hi jbmoore,
 * We’re sorry, Open-on-Click is a Pro only feature.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for replying.. That it is a Pro feature does not seem to be documented.
   Might be a good idea.
 * I have been trying a lot of ways to have an open on click Mailchimp form and 
   the vast majority of them don’t seem to work.
 * How do I know yours works???
 * Demo??
 * Thanks.. John..

 * It does not. I’m frustrated with it as well.
 * The “Open-on-click” works however there is no way to turn off the auto popup 
   and have only the Open-on-click work. If I filter by device or page type to prevent
   the auto popup the Open-on-click also stops working.
 * Voltroid, am I missing something?

 * Thank jbmoore. Wishing I hadn’t spend the money on the chimpmate pro plugin now.

    We are 
   sorry for you had troubles with ChimpMate 🙁 There is definitely a way to turn
