About this plugin
EngagePop is a popup builder that runs inside WordPress. Create a modal, a corner slide-in or a full-width announcement bar, choose when and where it appears, and collect email addresses straight into your own database.
No account is needed for any of that, and there is no limit on how many popups you build.
Free, and entirely local
- Three layouts — centre modal, corner slide-in, top or bottom bar.
- Triggers — on page load, after a delay, after scrolling a set percentage, or on exit intent.
- Targeting — the whole site, the front page, chosen post types, specific post IDs, or any URL fragment. Plus an exclude list, logged-in/logged-out audiences, desktop/mobile, and an optional start and end date.
- Email capture — addresses are stored in your WordPress database and exported as CSV whenever you want. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
- Design controls — colours, corner rounding, width, image, icon, and an optional consent checkbox for GDPR.
- Built-in stats — views, clicks and signups per popup, counted on your own site.
- Live preview — the builder previews your popup with the exact stylesheet visitors get.
This half of the plugin makes no external requests at all. Deactivate your internet connection and it still works.

Optional: connect an EngagePop account
Some things a single WordPress site genuinely cannot do on its own. Those live on EngagePop and need an account:
- Web push notifications — reach people after they have left your site.
- Social-proof toasts and live-visitor counters — “Riya from Mumbai just purchased…”.
- On-site notification feed with a bell icon.
- A/B testing, audience segments and campaigns shared across several sites.
com, approve, and land back in wp-admin. The plugin stores only your site’s public key — no API keys to copy, no WordPress credentials ever leave your site. If you never connect, nothing in the free half changes.
External services
The free popup builder makes no external requests. Popup settings, rendering and captured email addresses stay entirely within your WordPress installation.
com), and only after you explicitly click “Connect to EngagePop”:
- api.engagepop.com — during connection, your WordPress server exchanges a one-time code for your site’s public key. It is also used when you publish an announcement or a push notification from the Broadcast screen; the title, message and link you type are sent so EngagePop can deliver them.
- cdn.engagepop.com — once connected, your public pages load the EngagePop widget script, which delivers web push prompts, social proof and dashboard campaigns.
- Visitor interactions with those EngagePop features (impressions, form submissions, push subscriptions) are processed by EngagePop.

Disconnecting on the Settings tab stops all of the above immediately. Your local popups and stored subscribers are unaffected.
