Standalone: Update tagDiv Opt-In Builder individually
As we plan to continue developing the paywall and membership capabilities, we’re making tagDiv Opt-In Builder the first tagdiv plugin that can be updated without the theme. It works as a standalone plugin that will be updated even if the Newspaper theme is not.
Pop-up Shortcode for Dragging Attention
We know pop-up windows can be annoying sometimes, however they are a useful marketing tool. The Newspaper theme comes with the capability to create awesome pop-ups without installing new, paid plugins. The Modal Popup element gives you the power to control all the functionality. The shortcode helps you to highlight an important piece of information or content. With a modal popup, you can create:
- Pop-up ads
- Fly-out menus
- Sale campaigns and discounts
- Free downloads (ebooks, software, videos & more)
- Warnings and alerts
- Several Form Types (newsletter, login, or signup)
- Multi-step processes to complete wizards or install something
- Announcements and events
- Online courses and services
- And many more.
For the user experience, the Modal Popup shortcode is a beautiful way to interact with your website and it is also a valuable marketing asset for you. The Modal Popup shortcode appears on the site until the user clicks on the “x” button. You can set it to reappear after several hours or when the page is refreshed. Moreover, this type of pop window can appear while scrolling, and content locks instantly. To unlock it, the audience should subscribe to become members. Give it a try and see how it works for you!
