Hi @lestexas60,

Thanks for your question.

There isn’t a built-in way to limit the exact number of times someone views a popup. You’d need to write custom code to do that.

You can also use our Advanced Targeting Conditions (ATC) premium extension in combination with custom JavaScript to reduce the custom code you’d need to write. I.e., Makes it more convenient.

For example, ATC lets you run a custom JavaScript function before trying to display your popup. You just need to add the name of your function to your popup’s targeting settings.

Then before that popup displays, Popup Maker will call your function.

With ATC, you only need to write code to keep track of the number of opens and set a cookie after 3 opens.

Basically, your custom JS function would do the following:

1) Use browser storage to keep a count of how many times your popup opens for your visitor.

2) Create a cookie that expires in an hour once your popup count gets to 3.

3) Not open the popup again until the cookie expires.

If it helps or maybe as an alternative, we have a Scheduling extension where you can display a popup for a specific duration of time.

Hey @feznizzle,

That’s a great question.

It’s still good practice to use some kind of spam/bot challenge for your forms for logged-in users.

Hey @jasonpel ,

That’s a great question.

There are a few ways to add that code. Here’s a guide that explains how to in more detail.

Shout if you have any more questions.

Have a great day 🙂

Hey @jasonpel,

Thanks for your kind words! We can definitely consider your idea as a future enhancement.

In the meantime, one beauty of Content Control is that it reuses WordPress’s login API.

So, you should be able to use the login_url hook to manually remove (ignore) any redirects.

Here’s the link to the doc.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/login_url/

Based on that first contributed example in the doc, you should be able to add a filter that just returns the base URL and completely ignore the redirect. For example.

/** Based on the example from the login_url doc */
function smyles_custom_login_url( $login_url, $redirect, $force_reauth ){
    // Respect the $force_reauth.
    if ( $force_reauth ) {
        $login_url = add_query_arg( 'reauth', '1', $login_url );
    }
    // Ignore the $redirect and just return the plain $login_url.
    return $login_url;
}
add_filter( 'login_url', 'smyles_custom_login_url', 10, 3 );

If you’re willing, can you give that a try and tweak as needed?

Please remember that this is custom code and it’s independent of any plugin. So, use it at your own risk.

Cheers!

Hey @gabrielsfreela,

Thanks for writing.

This isn’t something that Content Control supports and your question seems like a general WordPress forum post.

We think you can use the is_user_logged_in() function to do that check for you before displaying your WhatsApp button.

Please refer to the WordPress docs and post to the appropriate forum for more help if needed.
