Thank you!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-popup-maker-thank-you/)󠁿 [nmrockswp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nmrockswp/) October 24, 2025 2 replies Wow. This is the only simple popup maker, that does exactly what I want. Thank you so much! I just have two small requests: Could you please add the “Content is”/” posts”/”category”(!) option under “Selected Groups” in the free version so that I can filter by post “category” (I have a category with news-posts, where I don’t want the popup to appear)? And please add an option to enlarge the “Close” button( the 12x12px svg is really too small for the popup)!

Ayer hice una consulta a los desarrolladores porque usé 22 pop ups en mi pagina y como estas se cargan en todas las páginas (no se renderizan, solo se cargan) hacían que mi sitio fuera extremadamente lento y demorara al cargar. Los desarrolladores en menos de 2 horas me ayudaron y me dieron la opción de usar un filtro en el codigo PHP de manera que solo se cargaran los pop ups en la página que se visualizará ( en mi caso era en una sola página. Les dejo el código por si les es útil. add_filter(‘ nelio_popups_active_popups’, function( $popups ) {    if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’])&& strpos( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘NAME_OF_PAGE’ ) !== false ) {        return $popups;} return [];} ) Muchas gracias, excelente equipo! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/346400d5bdeeabdedc724911e91ed8838a99e0b38e0424c730fc64dae7cc0416? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Looking really great!
