Description
This plugin allows you to trigger any Elementor Pro’s popup using links at anywhere, even outside the Elementor’s content.
Usage examples
- Open a popup using a link inside Gutenberg or Classic Editor.
- Open a popup using a link inside a widget.
- Open a popup from Menus (using
Custom Link). - etc.
How it works
- Install this plugin and make sure you have created your popup using Elementor and Elementor Pro.
- Go to
Templates > Popupsand click theShow URLsbutton of the popup you want to show. - Copy the URL of the trigger type you chose (
openandtoggleis the most common type). - Paste the URL on any link that you want to use to trigger the popup (e.g.
Custom Linkon your Menus). - Done! Now you can open your popup from outside Elementor’s content.
Disclaimer
- This plugin only reveals the trigger URLs that are originally generated by Elementor Pro itself. This plugin doesn’t use any other custom method to trigger your popup.
- The trigger URLs only work with
<a>tag. This plugin uses the same Elementor’s Javascript which only detects link in<a>tag.
“Not working, my popup doesn’t show”
- Please check if the popup can be triggered using Elementor’s Dynamic Action link. If it can’t be triggered, then there must be something wrong in your popup configuration, not the trigger URL from our plugin.
- Please make sure that you have properly set the popup’s “Display Conditions”. Otherwise, your popup won’t show up.
- Please make sure that you copied the trigger URL correctly into your link.
- Please check if there is javascript error that might be caused by other plugins (check your browser’s Developer Tools > Console).
Still not working? Feel free to write a ticket on the support forum.

Great plugin. We want to use links in our emails that will trigger a popup when some clicks and this plugin is perfect for getting those links. I'm really shocked that Elementor doesn't offer this. Good thing there are people out there creating plugins like this.

It is perfect for when we need to open a popup, for example, using any widget with a link option.
Congratulations to the developers and thanks for this excellent tool.

Update
Issue described below was caused by Elementor - this plugin was updated very quickly to fix the issue.
Original
I have a dynamic video lightbox, triggered by clicking on an icon box. The video appears in the bottom corner, mostly off-screen. Deactivating this plugin fixed the issue.

Unfortunately, the plug-in on mobile devices does not work adequately - the first time a popup is clicked, it opens randomly, and not the one that should. And an even bigger problem - removing the plugin does not solve the problem, the chaos in opening popup still remains. I had to restore the site from backup
