The Types of Elementor you Can Create with Elementor

There is numerous type of Elementor pop-ups that you can create with the plugin. And you can create some very aesthetically pleasing pop-ups that can improve conversions. Some of the pop-ups that you can create include:

Lead capture forms
Email subscription popups
Promotion and sales popups
Login and welcome back popups
Restricted content popup
Exit intent popup
Announcement popup

Related products and upsells

In addition to creating various types of popups, you can decide where to place them on your website. You can decide whether the popup is full-screen, modal, slide-in, or at the top/bottom of the screen. And there are also conditions and triggers that you might want to add to popups, such as those who are exiting the website.

How to Create a Popup Using Elementor Pro

Here are the instructions that you need to know when you want to build a popup. It is important to note that the popup builder is only available when you have the Pro version of Elementor.

Step 1 – Create a Popup

Assuming you have the Pro version, you need to head over to templates and then ‘Add New’ from the WordPress dashboard. You can then select the type of template you wish from the dropdown.

You can give the popup a name and then select ‘Create Template’.

Several options are available for your popup that you need to select.

Then you can insert the popup template with ease. You can customize your template using the Elementor editor.

Step 2 – Set Conditions

Now you can set the conditions for the pop-up. This can include when it will display and for how long. It is an important part of the process, and you should aim to ensure that you meet the goals of the campaign, without annoying your audience. Too many pop-ups, or pop ups that are around too long, can cause audiences to leave your website.

In this section, you will also want to say where to display your pop up.

Step 3 – Set Triggers

You will also need to set triggers, like when your website visitor is on a page for a specific period.

Step 4 – Advanced Rules

You should also consider some of the advanced rules. For example, you might want to choose to show the pop up only a set number of times to the same user. Or you might want to hide the pop up for logged-in users.
