Hi @htopor2 ,

This should work now in version 1.22.0 released on 31 March 2026.

Please update your Popup Maker to 1.22.0, **disable the workaround fix**, clear all caches, and retest.

If your test works (i.e., no more ?pid=), then you can delete that workaround fix from your site.

For more info, read the version 1.22.0 release notes https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/popup-maker/#developers

Holler back if you get stuck anywhere.

Hi @htopor2 ,

If you can’t wait for the new release, can you ask your dev to test this code on your staging site as an “emergency” workaround? If it works on your staging, go ahead and install it on your live site.

  add_action( 'wp_footer', function () {
      ?>
      <script>
      document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
          if ( window.PUM_URLTracking ) {
              var _orig = window.PUM_URLTracking.isInternalUrl.bind(window.PUM_URLTracking);
              window.PUM_URLTracking.isInternalUrl = function(url) {
                  if ( /^(tel|mailto|javascript):/i.test(url) ) return false;
                  return _orig(url);
              };
          }
      });
      </script>
      <?php
  }, 99 );

I tested this on my staging and it works fine even with priority 99.

Check out the custom JS guide if you need more details on how to install this code.

Holler if you run into any roadblocks.

@chambergeek, No worries. Well done! 👍🏼

Hey @chrisegg ,

I reproduced that bug too. So I reverted to CC v2.6.1 and the bug went away. If you need to get up and running now, please try going back to version 2.6.1.

Here’s how.

Make sure you deactivate and delete your current version of CC first.

If you revert, please let us know how that goes.

Thanks!

Hi @thekendog ,

Here’s an example of using the wp_ajax_pum_save_enabled_state hook to call pum_save_popup when you toggle the enabled button on the popups list page.

https://gist.github.com/marklchaves/985d6b20dab73646ca7f2d946bf4b3e0

The code snippet includes test functions to log “debug” statements to Popup Maker > Tools > Error Log. You can remove those test functions anytime, especially before you go live on your production site.

Please remember this is a code example that works on our test sites. You might need to tweak it to make it work on your site.

If you’ve never worked with WordPress PHP hooks, please read Getting Started With Custom PHP first.

https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/getting-started-with-custom-code/getting-started-with-custom-php/

Here’s our full custom sample code disclaimer.

Major caveat: Every time you use custom code, you take responsibility for testing and maintaining it. Here are some best practices you should follow:

• Back up your site: Make sure you have a recent full backup of your site. 
• Use a staging site: Test your code on a staging copy of your live site. 
• Tweak the example: Remember that any custom code example you decide to reuse is exactly that—an example! Meaning, that you’ll need to tweak and make sure the code works in your environment and meets your needs.
• Disable custom code when troubleshooting conflicts: Whenever you need to troubleshoot your site for a possible plugin or theme conflict, make sure you disable all custom code.

Cheers!

Hey @stephunique ,

Thanks for the excellent details. You’re right. It sounds like a CSS conflict.

Please try the CSS fix we’ve outlined in this help guide.

https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/544-your-popup-is-not-displaying-on-your-homepage#conflict

We also recommend you make both popups “stackable” and turn off the overlays for both.

We’ve got instructions on how to do that as well.

https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/196-display-multiple-popups-at-the-same-time

Remember to set your auto open trigger delays to 3000 ms and 10000 ms respectively (3 seconds and 10 seconds).

When that’s all done, you should have something like this.

Let us know how that goes 🙏🏽
