 * I created a Modal window asking to be displayed on Page loading and putted the
   short code [Wow-Modal-Windows id=1] in this page [http://www.composit.it/prova-popup/](http://www.composit.it/prova-popup/)
   but when I go to the page nothig happens. If I look the source code I can’t find
   anything concerning the Modal window.
    Where am I wrong? thanks for support, 
   best regards Sandro Garoia

 * I inserted the short code in page content as simple text.
    Now I added a little
   text to show where!

 * This is strange.
 * Do you have plugins, which control cache or connection scripts and styles ?

 * I have to agree, this plugin doesn’t work.
 * I set the modal to be displayed on the link of a button, then I put the following
   link on the page:
    [Link Txt](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/popup-doesnt-work-4/?output_format=md#wow-modal-id-1)
 * Then I embedded the shortcode into the header as so:
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[
   Wow-Modal-Windows id=1]’);?>
 * What I ended up with was the modal content displaying INLINE on the page at the
   top of my website where it gets rendered from the header.php code. The link does
   nothing.

 * No, I ended up removing your plugin and using a different one. The theme I was
   using, in case that has any bearing is Fortuna. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

 * Does your plugin make some external calls? Because my server doesn’t allow connection
   with third part sites if I don’t put them in a white list!
