Why Can』t Users See My Popup?

Why Can』t Users See My Popup?

「I』ve created a popup but users can』t see it「. If your visitors aren』t seeing your popup as expected, check that the Conditions, Triggers, and Advanced Rules are set properly.

Conditions determine where (on which page(s)) a popup will occur. Do your conditions indicate that the popup will happen on the page you expect?Triggers are user actions that cause a popup to happen. Did the user do what was needed to trigger the popup? (i.e. click something, scroll, etc).Advanced Rules cover other situations that would cause a popup to happen. Do you have an Advanced Rule set? Is that situation occurring? For example, you may have set an advanced rule to show a popup when a visitor comes to the page from a search engine. Did that scenario happen?Advanced Rules > Hide for Logged In Users option may not work properly on cached websites.

Also consider that you may have several different conditions, triggers, and advanced rules set that must all happen before a popup will occur. If only some of those rules are met, but not all, then the popup will not happen.

Let』s look at an example.

One of the services offered on a website is a high-priced business mentor membership program. In order to show the value of joining the program, three high-quality comprehensive free guides have been created for anyone who signs up as a trial member. A popup will be shown to anyone who attempts to leave the membership landing page without having joined. The popup will offer one of the three guides to be given to the user if they fill out the form within the popup. Which guide offered will depend upon where the user came from before landing on this page, so three popups will be created.

Popup A – Offers a guide about acquiring new clients

Condition: only shown on the membership landing page

Trigger: only shown when the user intends to exit the page

Advanced Rule: only shown to users who are not logged in who came from an internal page that discusses client acquisition

Popup B – Offers a guide about managing client projects effectively

Condition: only shown on the membership landing page

Trigger: only shown when the user intends to exit the page

Advanced Rule: only shown to users who are not logged in who came from an internal page that discusses project management

Popup C – Offers a generic guide about the benefits of the entire business membership program

Condition: only shown on the membership landing page

Trigger: only shown when the user intends to exit the page

Advanced Rule: only shown to users who are not logged in who came from a search engine

For any of the three popups to be shown, each of the rules must apply, or the popup will not occur. In this example:

If the user came from anywhere other than the 2 specified internal pages, or from a search engine, no popup will be shown.If the user meets all of the rules for one of the popups but the user is logged in, no popup will be shown.If the user is not on the membership page, no popup will be shown.

Popups may encounter layout issues with iOS10 or below, and Popups are not compatible with, or supported by, IE 11 or below.

Getting Started With Elementor and Layers

Getting Started With Elementor and Layers

Layers now integrates seamlessly with Elementor.

What is Elementor?

Elementor is a drag & drop website builder plugin that enables you to create complex layouts visually and design your website live.

This integration means that you』ll find some differences in the Dashboard and other functions of 『Layers』 you are currently familiar with.

You』ll no longer find the 『Layers』 tab on the WordPress menu.

Nor will you see the 『Layers』 dashboard.

You will find the known 『Layers』 steps setup, with 『Install Elementor』 as the last step.

How to create a new page

With 『Layers』 you created a page via the 『Layers』 tab. Now with Elementor, you just need to click the regular WordPress 『Add new page』, and click to 『 Edit with Elementor』.

To learn more about creating pages with Elementor click here.

Pre-designed Page Layouts – Elementor Library

When creating a new page with 『Layers』, you』ve had some pre-designed page layouts to choose from. With Elementor, you get to choose from a vast library of pre-designed pages & blocks.

With Elementor Pro you get 300+ layouts and designs.

Customizer / Elementor Live Preview Editor

Elementor uses a live preview drag & drop editor, while with 『Layers』 you are used to editing via the Customizer:

Layers: Edit via Customizer

With Elementor, you literally design your site via a live preview:

Elementor: Edit via Live Preview

How Will Elementor Work With WordPress 5.0 (Gutenberg Editor)

How Will Elementor Work With WordPress 5.0 (Gutenberg Editor)

We ♥ Gutenberg: Get Answers to All Your Questions Regarding Gutenberg & Elementor.

The new Gutenberg editor is here, and we know this is intimidating for many WordPress users. Gutenberg naturally raises questions and concerns, some directly related to Elementor.

In this doc, we want to help fill in all the blanks regarding Gutenberg, and how it is going to play out in relation to Elementor. 

General Questions

What is Gutenberg?

Gutenberg is the replacement of the old Wysiwyg editor, allowing users for a much better writing experience when creating content on WordPress. This way, you can easily add image, videos, headlines, buttons and other elements besides your text. A post in Gutenberg is a collection of blocks, and this new structure is what makes it easier to create rich content in Gutenberg.

Does Gutenberg replace Elementor? What is the difference between them?

No, Gutenberg does not replace Elementor. While they share the fact that both are editors, there is a fundamental gap between them.

Elementor is a solution built for designers. If you need to design a website – use Elementor.

Gutenberg has been created in order to improve the user experience of the former WordPress editor, making it easier for bloggers and content writers to embellish their posts with images and other types of rich media.

Will I need to use Gutenberg once it is launched, or can I stick strictly to Elementor?

You can continue to use Elementor, just like you are used to.

What about the Classic WordPress editor?

If you are reluctant to use Gutenberg, you will still have the option to revert back to the previous editor. Having said that, we strongly encourage you use Gutenberg.  

How does Gutenberg affect the future direction of Elementor?

We feel like Elementor played a part in substantiating the role of visual design in the experience of every WordPress user. This encourages us to continue to develop Elementor in the same direction we started, opening new realms of possibilities to design in WordPress, some never before seen.

Gutenberg-Elementor Integration

How will the two interfaces work together?

Elementor and Gutenberg already work seamlessly together. As a user, you can easily decide which editor you use at every point while editing your site.

Build a blog post layout in Elementor, then implement it, so every new post you write with Gutenberg automatically gets the design from Elementor. You can also easily embed Elementor blocks on any Gutenberg page.

Will I be able to use Elementor inside Gutenberg or vice versa?

Yes. Check out our Elementor Blocks for Gutenberg plugin in the WordPress repository.

Are Gutenberg blocks going to show up when I drag a Text widget into my page?

No. The text editor widget stays the same.

Will there be corrections in Elementor-built websites once Gutenberg is launched? Will I need to make updates to my pages?

No, there won』t be any changes. In terms of designing in Elementor, your sites and pages will remain the same, and you will be able to continue just where you left off.

How To Change The Language of Elementor and Elementor Pro

How To Change The Language of Elementor and Elementor Pro

Both Elementor and Elementor Pro use the language set in the WordPress admin.

Go to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > GeneralSelect your desired language from the dropdown of the Site Language option

Now, your WordPress admin and your Elementor and Elementor Pro frontend and backend will all be in the Site Language you』ve chosen.

Note: It is not possible to run Elementor or Elementor Pro in a different language from the one chosen in the WordPress settings.

Update your site』s translations after each update of Elementor

Updating Elementor does not automatically update the translation. When you switch the language from 」  Settings > General「, this changes the language of Elementor and Elementor Pro as well. But there is an additional step to take. 

Go to 「Dashboard > Updates」 and accept the translation of Elementor Pro there by clicking the Update Translations button. 

Note: After each update, there may be new strings to translate, so you should check the  Dashboard > Updates panel after each Elementor update.

If you are interested in joining the team of localizers so you can help translate Elementor into your language, please read How To Translate Or Localize Elementor

Elementor and Cloudflare Rocket Loader

Elementor and Cloudflare Rocket Loader

Elementor and Cloudflare integrate smoothly with each other, although there has been an issue with Rocket Loader in the past.

The issue was caused by Rocket Loader automatically changing the scripts to load asynchronously, which breaks the editor.

If this is causing you a problem, you can solve this by creating rules in Cloudflare:

For Elementor pages: Site URL/*elementor*For Elementor templates: Site URL/?elementor_library=*

To learn more about rules in Cloudflare please check their official documentation here.

What is the Viewport Control?

What is the Viewport Control?

The Viewport Control is a dual-slider control that lets you define viewport starting and ending points for scrolling effects.

The viewport is the user』s visible area of a web page. This visible area varies in size by device.

When scrolling down, each element enters the viewport at the bottom of the screen. When an element first comes into view from the bottom of the viewport, that represents 0 percentage from the bottom. As it scrolls more into view, the percentage of its place in the viewport changes. When the vertical middle of the element is in the center of the viewport, it is at 50%.

If the Viewport control is set at 0 Bottom and 100 Top, then the motion will begin when the element first enters the user』s viewport at the bottom of the screen, and will stop when the element exits the viewport.

If set to 30 Bottom and 65 Top, the motion will begin when the element has entered and reached 30% of the viewport, and will end when it has reached 65% of the viewport.

If using a motion effect such as Transparency > Fade Out In, the effect would be fully visible at 0%, would begin to fade out when the element reaches 30% of the viewport, would be fully invisible when it reaches 65%, and then would begin to fade back in at 65% of the viewport, until it reaches full visibility by the time it exits the viewport.

Fade In Out would be just the opposite. When the element first enters the viewport at 0%, it would be hidden. When the element reaches 30% of the viewport, it would begin to fade in, becoming more and more visible until it reaches maximum visibility at 65%. At 65% it will then begin to fade back out until it is completely hidden again by the time it leaves the viewport.
