Popups
How to create and target popups by home page, all pages, or specific pages in CMS Max
Overview
Popups let you display announcements, promotions, sign-up prompts, or age verification messages to visitors. You can control when they appear, how often they appear, and exactly where they should be shown.
Creating a Popup
- Navigate to Template > Popups.
- Click Create Popup.
- Enter a Name.
- Choose a Type:
- Image for image-based popups
- Content for text/editor popups
- Age for age verification
- Configure the popup content and display settings.
- Click Save.

Controlling Where a Popup Appears
Use Pages to show on in the Display options panel:
- Home Page — Shows only on your homepage (
/) - Every Page — Shows across your site
- Specific Pages — Shows only on pages you select
If you choose Specific Pages, a second field appears:
- Click Specific pages to show on.
- Search by URL path.
- Select one or more targets.
- Save the popup.

Important: If a selected page URL is later removed from your site, CMS Max automatically removes that deleted URL from the popup's selected targets.
Display Timing and Frequency
You can also control:
- Starts on and Ends on to schedule popup visibility
- Frequency (for example, every time vs once)
- Enabled/Disabled status
This makes it easy to run temporary campaigns without manually toggling popups on and off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my popup not appearing on a page I selected?
Confirm that:
- The popup is Enabled.
- The current date is between Starts on and Ends on (or those fields are blank).
- The page is included in Specific pages to show on.
- Frequency settings are not preventing repeat display.
What happens if I delete a page that was selected in Specific Pages?
That deleted URL is automatically removed from the popup's selected targets.
