FAQ
-
Do I need Elementor Pro?
-
No. Popup for Elementor works perfectly with Elementor Free.
-
Use the Click Trigger (added in version 1.5.8).
You can set a CSS selector or Elementor element to open the popup. -
Can I control when the popup appears?
-
Yes — you can trigger it on load, after a delay, on click, or on exit intent.
-
Does Exit Intent work on mobile?
-
Yes — since 1.6.2, Exit Intent includes a mobile fallback that triggers after a minimum time on page and scroll depth.
-
Can I show the popup only once?
-
Yes. Enable the Show only once option to use a cookie that prevents the popup from appearing again.
Since 1.6.2, the cookie is set when the user closes the popup (X, overlay, or Escape). -
Can I use Elementor templates inside the popup?
-
Absolutely. Load any Elementor template or section inside the popup container.
