About this plugin
Fileveil is a lightweight popup plugin for images, PDF documents, and simple content. com/). It is built for administrators who want a popup ready in a minute or two, without a page builder and without an external account.
Create a popup, choose what it shows, decide exactly where it appears, and set when it opens and how often. The public site loads the popup stylesheet and script only when an active popup can appear on that request.
What you can show
- An image from the Media Library, with size, fit, alt text, and an optional link.
- A PDF from the Media Library, displayed inside the popup, with download and “Open PDF” fallbacks. The file stays on your site.
- A heading, description, text, button, and optional custom HTML. Scripts and embeds are removed.
Where it appears
- Selected published pages.
- Selected published posts.
- Public content types.
- The front page, blog index, search results, 404 page, or archives.
- The whole site, with pages you can exclude.
- Specific URL paths, such as /special-offer/.
Draft, private, and trashed content cannot be saved as public targets.
When it opens
- When the page is ready, with an optional delay.
- After the visitor scrolls to 25%, 50%, 75%, or the bottom of the page.
- When the pointer leaves a desktop window. This does not run on phones or tablets.
How often
Every visit, once per page load, once per browser session, once until the visitor closes it, once every 24 hours, once every 7 days, or once every 30 days.
Every visit stores nothing. The timed choices count 24 hours, 7 × 24 hours, or 30 × 24 hours from the moment the popup was shown. They are not calendar days, weeks, or months.
“Once until the visitor closes it” is stored only when the visitor closes it, not when a timer closes it. The memory stays in that browser. Fileveil stores a popup ID and a time.
It does not store a name, email address, IP address, or browsing history.
If more than one published popup matches the same page, visitors see the one that was edited most recently. The others stay saved.
Schedule
Set a start and an end in the timezone chosen under Settings → General. An expired popup is not shown. The visitor’s timezone does not move the schedule.
Privacy and weight
Fileveil does not add analytics, advertising, or a public credit line. It does not connect to an external service. Administrators and editors manage popups.
Site-wide settings stay with administrators.
Privacy
Frequency controls may store a popup ID and a timestamp in the visitor’s browser, using localStorage or sessionStorage. Fileveil does not set a cookie for this and does not send that value to the site or to a third party. The suggested privacy policy text is available under Settings → Privacy in WordPress.
