Flexible popups for WordPress content
Modal Window Pro is a paid edition of the Modal Window WordPress plugin for creating informative popup windows. It can present simple messages or more involved layouts containing text, images, media, forms, and other content. The plugin is suited to websites that need a prominent way to share announcements, promotions, contact options, event information, or other content without creating a separate page.
Build content-rich modal windows
The built-in HTML content editor lets you add and format text, images, and other material inside a modal. Shortcodes extend the content options with responsive YouTube or Vimeo videos, embedded external pages through iframes, link or close buttons, Font Awesome icons, and multi-column layouts. Rows and columns can be used to arrange more complex modal content instead of limiting every popup to a single block of text.
- Video shortcode: Add responsive YouTube or Vimeo video content.
- iFrame shortcode: Embed external web pages or interactive content.
- Button shortcode: Create link buttons or controls that close the modal.
- Icon shortcode: Add Font Awesome icons.
- Layout shortcodes: Build rows and columns for structured content.
Choose how visitors see a modal
Modal Window supports several opening triggers, allowing the display behavior to match the purpose of each popup. A modal can open after a click, on a timer, when a visitor hovers over an element, as exit intent is detected, or in response to scrolling. You can also create a floating button that opens the modal, then customize its position, icon, text, and animation. Available animation styles include bounce, pulse, and shake.
Control appearance and responsive behavior
Use the styling controls to adjust modal titles, close buttons, backgrounds, shadows, and scrollbar presentation. Responsive controls let you set different widths for mobile devices and hide selected modals on mobile or desktop screen sizes. These options help you create popups that fit different layouts and visitor contexts.
Accessibility and display controls
The plugin includes ARIA attributes such as aria-live and role=”dialog” to improve screen reader support. Visitors can close a modal through the overlay or by pressing the Esc key. Cookies can control how often a modal appears, including a show-once behavior that avoids repeatedly displaying the same message to returning visitors.
Installation and workflow
Add Modal Window Pro to your WordPress site, create a modal, and enter its content with the editor or available shortcodes. Select a trigger, refine the styling and responsive settings, then choose the display controls that suit your message. Import and export tools allow modal settings to be moved between websites, supporting a repeatable workflow for site management.
