Pages, menus and popups

Open a popup from a button or link

Link a button, a photo or a few words of text to a popup so it opens when someone clicks.

Once you've made a popup, you decide what opens it. The usual answer is a button, but a gallery photo or a few words of text can open one too.

Before you start

Make the popup first: Add a popup.

  1. Log in to your site editor and open the page with the button or photo.
  2. Open its content settings: right-click it and choose Edit content.
  3. In the link options, click Popup.
  4. Choose your popup from the drop-down list.
  5. Publish. If you don't see a Publish button, tell us and we'll publish it for you.
  1. Click into the text and select the words.
  2. Pick the link icon from the text menu.
  3. Click Popup, then choose your popup from the drop-down list.
  4. Publish.

Try it

Open your live page in another browser, or a private window. Click the button or text, and the popup should open over the page. Close it with the X, or with a "close" link if you added one.

Good to know

  • An image in a photo gallery can open a popup when clicked. That uses the same link settings.
  • A popup that appears by itself, without a click, needs a personalization rule. That's an advanced tool, so ask us. Tell us when it should appear.
  • Don't see the popup in your list? Check the Popups tab in the Pages panel to confirm it exists and has a name.
