Troubleshooting
Popup never opens
- Confirm the plugin is Enabled.
- Test on the live site (frontend), not only in the admin.
- Clear Joomla’s cache (System > Clear Cache).
- View page source and confirm
jx-loginpopup.css and jx-loginpopup.js are loading.
Auto-open from a link doesn’t work
- Turn Open from URL hash on.
- Ensure the hash matches your configured login/logout lists.
- Guests and logged-in users use different hash lists — set both.
Colours or blur look wrong
- Re-check Appearance settings and save.
- Backdrop blur applies to the Modern theme only.
- Some templates add strong global styles; scoped CSS variables usually win, but contact support if colours conflict.
Upgrading from an older Login Popup
- Install
plg_loginpopup_v2.1.1.zip over the old version; settings are preserved.
- Existing sites default to Classic until you switch to Modern under Appearance.
- Remove unused legacy files from
media/plg_system_loginpopup if present from very old installs — not required for v2.1.1 to work.
