   your code causes a “Fatal error”, so it is not applied!”

   function pum14_popup_reg_form_check() { if ( isset( $_POST[‘popmake-download-
   best-practice-guidelines’] ) && $_POST[‘popmake-download-best-practice-guidelines’]
   == ‘my_form’ ) { <script type=”text/javascript”> PUM.open(1594); </script> } }

 * [@groundagency](https://wordpress.org/support/users/groundagency/) Hi Natalie,
 * Thank you for choosing my WordPress plugin! 🙂
 * Your PHP code has incorrect quotation marks, and also the HTML tags `?>` `<?php`
   are missing. Please try the following:
 *     ```
       function pum14_popup_reg_form_check() {
           if ( isset( $_POST['popmake-download-best-practice-guidelines'] ) && $_POST['popmake-download-best-practice-guidelines'] == 'my_form' ) {
               ?>
                   <script type="text/javascript">
                       PUM.open(1594);
                   </script>
               <?php
           }
       }
       add_action( 'wp_footer', 'pum14_popup_reg_form_check', 1000 );
       ```
   
 * Have a good day.
 * Regards,
    Arthur
