Popup Modal

When adding/editing a popup modal, below the popup content area are Popup Options which allow you to configure options for each popup. Options include:

• Disable popup: (check to disable, uncheck to enable)
• Frequency of popup: (Define how frequently each popup will display: every refresh, once per session, various minutes, various hours, weekly, monthly, yearly, or only once)
• Popup expires after: (Specify the date the popup will expire, or never expire) [date picker UI]
• Display popup on: (All pages, front page only, or interior pages only)
• Print option: (Allow printing of the popup)
• Popup location: (Centered, top center, bottom center)
• Maximum width: (Define the maximum width of the popup in pixels)
• Show title: (Allow the popup title to be visible or hidden for each popup)
• Text color: (Select a foreground text color for each popup window) [color picker UI]
• Background color: (Select a background color for each popup window) [color picker UI]
• Button location (No buttons "X" to close, left, center, or right)
• Test popup (while creating in the admin console)

You sure can! The plugin was designed to show one popup at a time if multiple popups are scheduled to be displayed. The first popup will display, and when the user closes the popup the next popup will appear. It's suggested that you don't have too many popups published at the same time to avoid users getting hammered by a bunch of popups. Remember, the popup frequency is for each user. Therefore, just because you're no longer seeing the popup, doesn't mean your users aren't.

The popup frequency is controlled via cookies set on the user's browser. When a popup occurs, a cookie is set which expires at the specified frequency (for example, in an hour). After the cookie expires, the popup with happen again.

Popup Modal will work just fine if a user is blocking third-party cookies. However, if they're blocking first-party cookies as well, they're going to see a LOT of popups and have many problems on most websites. Blocking third-party cookies is fine (and good for privacy), as is clearing cookies when your browser closes. But blocking all cookies will render a lot of the web useless. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Not many people block first-party cookies and those that do are accustomed to creating exceptions when required.
