Trigger a popup from a nav menu

Last Update: June 24, 2024

Triggering a popup from a nav menu item is easy to do.

Create the Popup

  1. First, create your popup.
  2. In the Advanced tab of the Popup Settings, we will add a small code snippet into the Open By Selector field. For this example, we’ll enter the code shown below.
    a[href="#popup-menu-anchor"]
  3. Now publish the popup and set the Display Conditions. If the menu is in a site wide header, set the Display Conditions to Entire Site. If the menu is on a specific page, set the Display Conditions to that specific page (Singular > Pages > search and select your page).
  4. Ensure that no Triggers or Advanced Rules are set for your popup.

Note: Make sure that straight quotes are used and not curly quotes to avoid jQuery errors.
