Popups disappear when activating this plugin

Hi

I had created a wordpress navigation menu with popups on each menu element with WP popup maker, using this guide: https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/51-open-a-popup-from-a-wordpress-nav-menu

It worked fine, until I placed the menu in the dropdown widget, using this plugin.
Is this plugin not compatible with popups/WP popupmaker? Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Sheila

Hi @sheilanana ,

Thanks for using my plugin and your message. I did not know the Popup Maker plugin before, but you are right. These two plugins are not compatible. So you did nothing wrong.

The way the pop-up plugin triggers the pop-up (with JavaScript and #123-urls), will not work in this dropdown.
The dropdown in my plugin (a ‘select’ tag, in HTML) is not capable of this.

The Pop-up Maker is designed to work with ‘a’ tags (links), which is how the native WordPress menus work.

I am sorry but I don’t think they will become compatible because of the way both of the plugins work.

Kind regards,

Jeroen Peters

Hi Jeroen

I just want you to know that I found a solution, in case someoneelse want’s to know.
add this to child theme functions.php:
```
function custom_dropdown_popmake_trigger() { ?>
    <script>
(function($){
   $('#select_jp_dropdown_menu_widget-2 option').addClass(function() {
    return this.value.replace("#", "");
});
	$('#select_jp_dropdown_menu_widget-2').change(function(){
	$(this).find(':selected').click()
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_dropdown_popmake_trigger');
```
I hope you have a great day.

Best regards,
Sheila
