Ever wanted to show a simple popup or subscriber popup when someone clicks any menu item on your WordPress website?
Menu item click popups are quite helpful if you don't want to send your visitors to a different page or a new tab but sometimes people find it quite difficult to create a popup when someone clicks a link or a button.
But what if I tell you that it's quite simple to do this thing if you own a WordPress powered website.
Curious? Well, let's get started...
Now, go to your Menus from Appearance and add a new Custom Link, with # as link, to the menu.
When you will click the menu item's dropdown arrow, you should get an option as Trigger a Popup and your already created popups should appear there, select one from them, as shown in the image below:
If you don't see the Trigger a Popup option then you should check the option Popup from the above Screen Options menu as the image below:
That's it.
It's not like that it is the only way to show popups on a menu item click in the WordPress website, but I find this very easy to do and negligible time taking.
Got a better solution? Feel free to mention them in the Comments below.
