Smart Popup – Targeted WordPress Popups That Convert (Without Annoying Visitors)
Turn more visitors into subscribers, buyers, and bookings — without overwhelming them.
Smart Popup lets you show the right message at the right moment using advanced triggers and precise targeting controls.
More control. Better timing. Higher conversions.
🎯 Show the Right Popup at the Right Time
Display popups based on real visitor behaviour:
- Exit intent (when someone is about to leave)
- Scroll depth
- Time delay
- Specific pages or categories
- Device type (desktop or mobile)
- New vs returning visitors
Instead of showing more popups, show smarter ones.
🛒 Increase Sales Without Being Aggressive
Perfect for online stores and service businesses:
- Cart abandonment reminders
- Free shipping threshold nudges
- Limited-time promotions
- Product launches
- Upsells and cross-sells
Targeted popups convert better than generic ones.
🔔 Announcements & Deadline Messaging
Popups aren’t just for email capture.
Use them to communicate important updates:
- “Order by Dec 20 for Christmas delivery”
- “Bookings close Friday”
- “Same-day dispatch ends at 2pm”
- Event reminders
- Service availability updates
Clear messaging prevents missed sales and confused customers.
🧲 Grow Your Email List — Without Damaging User Experience
Capture subscribers with:
- Exit-intent lead magnets
- Scroll-triggered content upgrades
- Timed newsletter invitations
- Inline opt-in popups
- Spam protection on the subscribe form via Google reCaptcha v2 (PRO also adds reCaptcha v3, hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile – pick whichever captcha fits your site)
Set frequency limits so visitors don’t feel overwhelmed.

Changelog

- General security hardening and code improvements
- Fixed a fatal error in the subscribe form’s reCaptcha rendering
- Added support for three new PRO CAPTCHA types on the subscribe form: reCaptcha v3, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile – selectable alongside the existing reCaptcha v2
- Added new social sharing networks (Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, Tumblr, VK) alongside Facebook and X, each with its own brand-color styling; existing popups migrate automatically
- Removed the discontinued Google+ share button (network shut down in 2019)
- Removed unused legacy reCaptcha v1 library
- Upgraded the bundled icon font to Font Awesome 6 (matching Gallery by Supsystic) across the whole plugin – admin and frontend
- Rebuilt the Social block: added Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, Tumblr, VK, Viber and LiveJournal alongside Facebook and X, each rendered with its own brand icon and color; added box size, font size, transparency, border radius, and brand/black/white/custom color style controls (ported from Gallery Pro’s social sharing settings)
- Existing popups migrate automatically to the new network picker; the retired Google+ button no longer renders
- Fixed every remaining admin icon that went blank after the Font Awesome 6 upgrade (License tab, Delete/Clone buttons, Design/Texts/Social tabs, and others found in a full plugin-wide sweep) – old v4 icon names replaced with their v6 equivalents
