# Popup inside wordpress admin area

 * This is happening with FF, Chrome and IE.
 * The problem I’m seeing is, for example, you go into the plugins area and click
   Add New, then type in anything to bring up a list of plugins (i.e. bbpress)
 * It then gives a list of bbpress related plugins and you click “details” of one
   of the items on the list. It should open a window on top of your current browser
   screen with the information about the plugin. You can then close it and go back
   to the list of plugins.
 * However, what mine is doing is sometimes the pop-up window comes up, sometimes
   not, but then the screen clears and it lists the contents of the window in the
   browser (not the pop-op window).
 * This wasn’t a huge deal until I downloaded NextGen galleries plug-in and it uses
   that exact functionality to configure a page for a gallery (or galleries). So,
   the plugin can’t be used.
 * I don’t think it’s a particular browser setting as all three are doing the same
   thing. It used to work fine, so I don’t think it’s Windows 7. Could be a patch
   that was downloaded for the O/S?
 * Help? 🙂

 * Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Thirteen theme with **
   all** plugins deactivated?

 * Hmmm, I have another site using Pagelines and the same child theme and some of
   the same plugins with no issues- so it’s not the browser.
 * There are some different plugins with the site I’m having issues with. I’ll disable
   one or two at a time until I hopefully find the culprit.
 * Thanks!
