 * Nice plugin but I have 2 questions for setting up it.
 * 1. How to enable the dialog but not show it automatically after certain delay?
   
   I want to show it when user clicks on certain link. Right now I set it to be 
   a large number to avoid automatically pop up.
 * 2. When there’s multiple active dialogs, dialog behavior looks weird. Can I have
   1 dialog shown automatically after 3s. Then show another dialog when user clicks
   on a link?

 * 1. There is already a thread on this topic: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-trigger-modal-dialog-via-button/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-trigger-modal-dialog-via-button/).
   Basically, set the number of times to display the dialog to 0. Then call `modal_dialog_open`
   from a javascript function to open the dialog.
 * 2. It is not possible to have 2 modal dialogs appearing on the same page.
