By default, MyListing locks the Listings post type, and because of this, you cannot do certain things like use Elementor’s Display Conditions to apply Popups to Listings.
This guide will teach you how to unlock the Listing Types post type and apply an Elementor Popup to your Listings.
Unlock the Listings
This is easily done using the Unlock the Listings Post Type code snippet.
Apply an Elementor Popup to Listings
I’ll assume you’ve already used Elementor Pro to create your popup for these steps.
- WordPress Dashboard > Templates > Popups > Edit your popup with Elementor.
- From the Elementor panel, click on the arrow icon next to the ‘Update’ button.
- Choose ‘Display Conditions’.
Apply to All Listings Using Display Conditions
- Click the ‘Add Condition’ button.
- Click the arrow icon to the right of ‘Entire Site’ and choose ‘Singular.’
- Click the arrow icon to the right of ‘All Singular‘ and choose ‘Listings.’
- Click the ‘Next’ button. (Note: If you would like to apply popups to more specific Listings, check out the next section of this guide.).
Apply to Specific Listings Using Display Conditions
Let’s say you want your popup to apply only to Listings that fall under a specific category. Instead of choosing ‘All Singular,’ as we did in the previous steps, we will select ‘In Category’ and then specify our desired Category to which the popup should apply.
Use Triggers to Tell Elementor When to Load the Popup
At this point, you will be in the Triggers configuration section of your popup.
- Choose your desired Triggers. (Note: To ensure your popups are working, it’s probably a good idea to start with a simple trigger like ‘On Page Load.’)
- On Page Load > Toggle to ‘Yes.’
- Click the ‘Next’ button.
Note: You can apply multiple triggers, but be sure to test your popup so it functions as you want it to without annoying your users.
There are many powerful options here, so be sure to explore and take advantage of them.
Configure Advanced Rules
Again, there are many powerful options here and many scenarios to consider. I’ll briefly cover some scenarios below, but covering what to set up here would be outside the scope of this guide.
- Click the ‘Save & Close’ button to save all of the changes (Conditions, Triggers, and Advanced Rules) you made to your popup.
Advanced Popup Rule Scenarios
Performance
You might want to configure the ‘Show on Devices’ trigger to prevent your popups from being applied to mobile devices.
Intrusiveness
You might want to configure the ‘Show After X’ triggers to prevent your popups from being shown to users too many times.
If your popup only makes sense to non-current customers, you might want to configure the ‘Hide For Logged In Users’ trigger.
Sales Funnel & User Journey
If you lead people down a particular path in your sales funnel, you might want to configure the ‘When Arriving From Specific URL’ trigger.
If your popup only makes sense to non-current customers, you might want to configure the ‘Hide For Logged In Users’ trigger.
