What It Does

This plugin allows you to trigger any Elementor Pro's popup using links anywhere, even outside Elementor's content.

Usage examples include opening a popup using a link inside Gutenberg or Classic Editor, from widgets, or from Menus using Custom Links.

To use the plugin, install it and ensure you've created your popup using Elementor and Elementor Pro. Go to Templates > Popups and click the Show URLs button of the popup you want to display. Copy the URL of the trigger type you chose, such as open or toggle, and paste it on any link you want to use to trigger the popup.

This plugin only reveals the trigger URLs generated by Elementor Pro itself and uses the same Elementor's Javascript to detect links in tags.

If your popup doesn't show, check if it can be triggered using Elementor's Dynamic Action link, ensure your popup's Display Conditions are set correctly, and verify that you copied the trigger URL accurately. You can also check for any JavaScript errors in your browser's Developer Tools Console.

If you still encounter issues, feel free to write a ticket on the support forum.
