Themify Popup

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 84% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Does everything I need it to, including control over background overlay color and close delay. Free version includes a lot features that I’d normally have to pay for in other plugins. Writing custom CSS is super easy, as is viewing and grabbing css selectors in a browser console. Although it recommends you use the Themify Builder plugin in addition to, this plugin works great just by using the default WordPress editor. I’ve used other Themify plugins and their premium plugins work well and do what they say they do. So does this one. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by typeadesign.

   It took me a whole day to find a popup-plugin that doesn’t add a nightmare amount of javascript, that’s loaded with every site. Finally, Themify-Popup proved to be really lightweight and it even has features on this free version, that have to be paid with almost all others. But what i like best is: It doesn’t come with a stupid, overboarding editor. Just paste the html and css – that is faster then fool around with some popup editor. It works perfectly with wordpress 5.8 for me.

   This plugin offers premium Features, free of charge. You can create conditional popups, triggered popups and there is no annoying ads. it is simple to use. Classic popups, slide-out pops, full screen popups. Thanks to Themify team. For custom designing the popup layout, a little css html knowledge would be needed.
