Aluleth Popups

Aluleth Popups shows your offers, sign-up forms and announcements at the right moment, without slowing your site down or annoying your visitors. Everything is included in the free plugin: unlimited popups, exit intent, scroll and time triggers, targeting rules and statistics. Nothing is locked. Five kinds of popups

• Centered popup, with the page dimmed behind it.
• Slide-in in a corner: it never blocks reading.
• Top or bottom bar. A top bar shown when the page opens is part of the page: it pushes the page down instead of covering it.
• Full screen, for big events.
• In the content: a sign-up box at the end of your articles.

When it opens

• When the visitor is leaving: the mouse goes to the browser tabs on computers, a quick scroll back up on phones.
• After scrolling part of the page.
• After some time on the page, or after a pause.
• When someone clicks a button or a link (two-step opt-in): use the link #aluleth-popup-12 anywhere, the shortcode [aluleth_popup_link id="12"]Get the guide[/aluleth_popup_link] or your own CSS selector.
• As soon as the page opens.
• How often: every visit, once every few days or only once. Never again once the visitor has signed up, and only one covering popup per visit if you want.
• Start and end dates.

Who sees it Pages, content types, blog categories, device, new or returning visitors, logged-in visitors, user roles, the website they come from, the campaign (UTM) and the page address. When several popups could open at the same moment, your priority order decides. Ask first Start with a simple Yes / No question and show the form only after "Yes". Visitors say yes more often when the first step is small. Forms and contacts With the free Aluleth Forms plugin, a popup can show any of your forms: multi-step forms, conditional fields, anti-spam, payments. The people who sign up become contacts in Aluleth, with "Signed up from the popup …" in their history. Without Aluleth Forms, a popup can show a button, a text or the shortcode of another form plugin. Fast, accessible and Google-friendly

• The script and styles load only on pages where a popup can open, after the page is shown. Popups are not drawn before they open and never move the page content.
• Every popup is a real dialog: it closes with Esc, keeps the keyboard focus inside while open and gives it back when closed. Visitors who turned off animations never see one.
• On phones, centered and full screen popups become a panel at the bottom of the screen. The editor warns you when a popup could hurt your Google ranking on phones.

Statistics Times shown, sign-ups and clicks, conversion rate and closes for each popup, for 7 days, 30 days or 12 months, and in the Aluleth dashboard. One number per popup and per day: no cookie and no personal data. Live preview A four-step editor (Design, When, Who, Review) with a live preview on a computer or a phone, the settings explained in plain words, and a "Try it on the site" link that opens the popup for you only.

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to Aluleth › Popups and click "New popup".
3. Pick a design, then follow the four steps and publish.

To collect emails in a popup, also install the free Aluleth Forms plugin.

0.2.4

• Escaping: every popup is printed through wp_kses() with a list of allowed tags (in the page footer, after the post content, in top bars, in the editor preview and in the targeting rules of the editor), so HTML added by a filter, a shortcode or another plugin cannot add scripts or event handlers. Developers can extend the list with the aluleth_popups/allowed_html filter.

0.2.3

• Statistics: at most 60 counted actions a minute from one visitor address, and a popup with a form counts a sign-up only when the form is saved (never from the browser alone), so a script cannot fill the numbers.
• Contact imports: the files being imported (and the list of rows not imported) can no longer be opened from their address, on Nginx or any other server.
• Texts sent to PayPal, Slack, Discord and Telegram are shortened without the PHP mbstring extension.
• Deleting Aluleth Popups while the complete Aluleth Popups Pro is installed keeps the popups: Aluleth Popups Pro includes this plugin and keeps using them.

0.2.2

• The notice about an older Aluleth core shows only on the Plugins screen, to people who can update plugins.
• Top bars hidden on phones use the plugin stylesheet instead of a style tag printed in the page.
• readme: the services of the shared Aluleth screens are listed one by one under External services.

0.2.1

• Plugin header: the author link now points to the WordPress.org profile.
• Shared Aluleth core 0.18.4.

0.2.0

• Longer, unique names for the WordPress.org guidelines: the statistics table is now "aluleth_popup_stats" and the popup settings are kept under "aluleth_popup*". Existing popups and their numbers are moved automatically on update.

0.1.4

• Shared Aluleth data (contacts, tags, lists, consents, blocked addresses, queue) now lives in tables with the "aluleth" prefix. They are renamed automatically on update; nothing is lost. Update all your Aluleth plugins at the same time.

0.1.3

• For add-ons: a popup can wait for information before it opens (for example the visitor's cart in Aluleth Popups Pro), and add rules to the "who sees it" summary.
• Database queries use the WordPress identifier placeholder for table and column names (also in the shared Aluleth core).

0.1.2

• For add-ons: other versions of a popup (A/B tests in Aluleth Popups Pro) and extra numbers sent with each count.

0.1.1

• Fixed: bars at the bottom of the screen stayed hidden below it; they now slide in.
• A popup now opens even when the browser pauses animations (for example in a tab that is not in front), instead of waiting for the visitor to come back to the tab.
• For add-ons: hooks to add settings, fields in the editor, content above the button, screens and statistics by page and device. Designs can be grouped.

0.1.0

• First version: centered popups, slide-ins, top and bottom bars, full screen and "in the content" boxes; exit intent on computers and phones, scroll, time, pause, click and arrival triggers; frequency and dates; targeting rules and priority; Yes / No first step; Aluleth Forms inside popups; statistics; live preview on computer and phone; Google check on phones; keyboard and screen reader support.
