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.

If Safe Mode didn』t help you to resolve the problem, there are other possible solutions.

Check if you meet the system requirements for Elementor. If you don』t meet the memory requirements, edit your wp-config.php file or contact your hosting company and ask them to increase your WP memory by using the following guideTry the following: Use the option switch front-end editor loader method. You can find it in the settings of Elementor in your WordPress Dashboard (see the screenshot below). Enable this option and see if it solves the issue.

Sometimes, if your URL in the back-end is different than the one in the front-end it can also lead to this problem. Make sure that the Site Address (URL) is similar to the WordPress Address (URL) to avoid loading issues These URLs can be checked in 「Settings > General」.On some servers, you will have to change the SubstituteMaxLineLength.In rare cases, the white screen of death can occur because of a program installed on your computer. To rule out this possibility, edit from another computer.Sometimes, this can happen because of a Fatal error. To confirm this, you can check Elementor > System Info to see if there are any PHP errors logged.

Problems sometimes exist because of an add-on installed on your browser. In this case, you can switch to another browser (It has to be Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Opera).A gray page might be due to X frame restrictions. You can see if it is the issue by checking the error messages of your browser console (to do it, click right on your mouse, select 「inspect」 and then 「console」. Error messages are written in red). In this case, you will have to change the X-Frame-Options from DENY to SAMEORIGIN. Please ask your host to do this for you. Note: If you use traefik and docker then add this to your docker-compose…traefik.frontend.headers.customFrameOptionsValue: SAMEORIGIN If you use Cloudflare, you will have to switch off Rocket Loader. When Rocket Loader is activated, it can take time to load the editor of Elementor, and sometimes you will get stuck on the gray loading page. Click here for a solution   

Note: Safe Mode can be activated only by site admins (i.e. users with administrator privileges) because only they can deactivate plugins. If you are not receiving the Enable Safe Mode option, please ask your site administrator to activate the safe mode and troubleshoot the problem for you. In the case of a multisite setup, only Super Admins can activate Safe Mode.

How to Access a Section That is Hidden

How to Access a Section That is Hidden

Sometimes, because of using Negative Margins, Z-Index, or Absolute Positioning, a section or the section』s handle can become hidden and inaccessible, making it seemingly impossible to edit it. This is because either another section overlaps it, or because it gets hidden behind the header that comes from the theme.

Elementor』s Navigator enables you to easily reach and edit these hidden section handles.

Navigator』s tree panel provides easy access to every element on the editor with just one click. Now you can edit and move elements that have been hidden by Z-Index, negative margins, and absolute positions.
