  2. Open the Popup — Atomic tab.
  3. Click Add New Template.
  4. Type a Name, for example Welcome Popup. The Type is already Popup — Atomic.

The popup opens in Elementor with a ready sample design. Replace the sample text and button with your own content. Everything inside is a normal V4 element.

Note: When your popup is ready, click Publish. A popup must be published before it can show on your site.

STEP 3

Set Up the Popup

Click the orange Popup Settings button at the top of the popup. A window opens with tabs: Layout, Close, Behavior, Overlay, Triggers, Frequency, Devices and Display.

Change what you need, then click Apply. Changes are saved only after you click Apply.

  2. Select a Button. Go to the General tab and open the Popup section.
  3. Turn on Enable popup trigger.
  4. Keep On click as Open popup.
  5. In Popup, type 2 or more letters of the popup name and pick it.

  • Z-index: how far in front the popup sits. Default: 9999
  • Accessible label: a short name for screen readers, like “Newsletter signup”. Optional.

Close

Close icon adds a ready-made âś• button into the popup so visitors can close it. It is a normal element, so you can restyle or move it. Turn it off to remove it.

Behavior

  • Close on ESC key: Default: On
  • Close on overlay click: clicking outside the popup closes it. Default: On
  • Lock page scroll while open: Default: On

Overlay

Overlay color is the tint behind the popup. Leave it empty for the default dark tint.

Triggers

Open the popup by itself. You can combine them.

  • On page load: opens after a number of seconds you choose.
  • On exit intent (desktop): opens when the mouse moves to leave the page.
  • After scrolling: opens after the visitor scrolls a percent of the page.

Frequency

Do not annoy your visitors.

  • Show at most: how many times to show the popup. 0 means no limit.
  • Snooze for: after a visitor closes it, wait this many days. 0 means off.

Devices

Choose where the popup opens by itself: Desktop, Tablet and Mobile. Default: All on

Display

  • Open selector: a CSS selector, like .open-newsletter or #menu-item-42 a. Clicking anything that matches it opens the popup. Good for menu items.
  • Show on: where the popup is added. Choose Only pages that reference this popup, Entire site, Front page only, or Specific post/page IDs. Default: Only pages that reference this popup
  • Post/page IDs: shows when you choose Specific IDs. Type IDs with commas, like 12, 34, 56.

Tip: Triggers, Frequency, Devices and Display work on your live website, not inside the editor.

NEED HELP?

Troubleshooting

The popup does not open

Check these in order: the popup is Published; Enable popup trigger is on; the right popup is picked in Popup; your page is saved; and Animation Addons Pro is active. Clear your site cache if you use a cache plugin.

I cannot find my popup in the search

Type at least 2 letters. Only published popups of type Popup — Atomic show in the search.

The popup opens by itself too often

Open Popup Settings > Frequency and set Show at most or Snooze for.

How do I close the popup with a button?

Select an element inside the popup. In its Popup section, turn on Enable popup trigger and set On click to Close popup. With no popup picked, it closes the popup that is open on top.
