Features

What can Easy Popup do for you?

Eight feature areas, one install package for Joomla 4, 5 and 6.

  • Inline Content Lightbox

    Custom HTML Popups

    • Any HTML Inside a PopupWrap custom content with {popup}…{/popup} shortcodes — text, images, forms, tables, or embeds. Easy Popup stores content in a hidden #popinline div and opens it in a lightbox when the trigger is clicked.
    • Flexible TriggersUse plain text links, Font Awesome icons, coloured pill buttons (ibtn), or image thumbnails to open the same rich HTML panel.

  • Visual Popup Triggers

    Image Triggers & Overlays

    • Image-Based TriggersSet image, imgwidth, and imgheight to use a photo as the popup trigger instead of a text link.
    • Hover & Always-Visible OverlaysAdd overlaytext and icons with full control over colours, opacity, font size, and borders. Use overlay="true" for badges that stay visible without hover.

  • Complete Design Control

    Modern & Classic Themes

    • Modern (2026) ThemeBlur overlay, rounded panel, accent colour, configurable close button, coordinated zoom/slide animations, and 2026 gradient ibtn styling — recommended for new sites.
    • Classic (Legacy) ThemeRetain the original Fancybox look with 10 background patterns and 10 close button styles.
    • Full Colour ControlControl overlay tint, popup background, text colours, and add custom CSS for perfect brand integration.

  • Media & Iframe Popups

    YouTube, Vimeo & Maps

    • External URL PopupsOpen YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, and other iframe content using the url attribute on a shortcode.
    • Autoplay ControlSet autoplay="1" or autoplay="0" on video triggers. Control popup width and height per embed with popwidth and popheight.

  • Flexible Configuration

    Animation & Dimensions

    • Modern Animation EffectsChoose from fade, zoom, slide-up, slide-down, elastic, or none — with coordinated panel and overlay transitions in the Modern theme.
    • Smart DimensionsSet popup width and height per shortcode or use plugin defaults with Modern width/height modes.
    • Image SizingControl image trigger width, height, and corner radius from shortcode attributes or plugin settings.

  • Styled Call-to-Action

    Pill Buttons & Icons

    • Predefined Button ClassesUse class="ibtn ibtn-blue" (and red, green, yellow, grey, orange, violet, dark-blue) for coloured pill trigger buttons.
    • Font Awesome IconsAdd icon="fa-plus" to text links and buttons, or combine icon-only triggers for toolbar-style rows.
    • Modern ibtn StylingWhen Modern theme is active, optional gradient pill styling is applied automatically to ibtn triggers on the page.

  • Performance-Focused

    Responsive & Lightweight

    • Conditional Asset LoadingCSS and JavaScript load only on pages that contain {popup} shortcodes — keeping other pages fast.
    • Fit to ViewAutomatic viewport fitting ensures popups display correctly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
    • Clearfix HelperBuilt-in {clearfix} shortcode to properly clear floats after image triggers and floated popup content.

  • Modern & Future-Proof

    Joomla 4/5/6 Compatible

    • Latest Joomla SupportFully compatible with Joomla 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x using modern APIs and best practices.
    • WebAssetManagerUses Joomla's native WebAssetManager for optimal asset loading, with a fallback injector when shortcodes are detected only at render time.
    • Single Plugin InstallOne ZIP (plg_popup_vX.x.zip) installs the complete Easy Popup system plugin.

Average from 9 reviews on the Joomla Extension Directory

  • Add modals to Joomla articles and contents. Perfect and really easy to use. Great support answered in very short time. Yes it worths the price by sure. I used this for my Joomla website for a company.

    Delta Lloyd Joomla Extension Directory

  • Very nice plugin and so easy to use! Really nice documentation of every plugin from Infyways. And a really good support! Very easy to use! Amazing support! There are so many other plugins included, if you buy the full package. I can really recommend this!

    Chris Joomla Extension Directory

  • I used Easy Popup all over my site and as advertised it was very simple to install and use. When I had an issue with the content getting messed up when saving from the front ed JCE editor, I was impressed that I could create a support ticket and they got back to me within a few hours. But most impressive was that they talked me through the fix over skype. This cut my debug cycle time way down. In minutes I had a fix and was back to working on my site. I highly recommend Infyways.

    Dan Brockway Joomla Extension Directory

  • I would give my testimony on Extension Easy Popup and their creators: Great and solid extension, quick support and actually solves the customer's problem!

    Walbert Costa Joomla Extension Directory

  • Excellent well thought out extension. More than worth the money. Great technical support also. I had two conflicts with other extensions I had installed and they had the problem fixed less than 30 minutes after I submitted a support ticket.

    Adam Blaisdell Joomla Extension Directory

  • Easy Popup is great! I am so grateful for the amazing super responsive support this company gave me when I had a question. I'm a smiling, very happy customer. Thank you again!

    Ruth Caplin Joomla Extension Directory

  • It's pretty good. Worked right away and works great. I wonder if I can change the font size within the popup? I hope I can because that would be cool.

    Robert DeLaurence Joomla Extension Directory

  • This has to be one of the easiest pop-up modules to use. Not only does it do what it says on the box, the pop-ups are really cool and can be adjusted to meet specific needs. Working against a deadline on a project, I needed help with a small customisation and the support was awesome! Even though it was a weekend, they responded within minutes and within half an hour I had received the answers I needed. Works like a jem! Thank you Infyways for yet another super cool and useful module!

    Jan Taljaard Joomla Extension Directory

  • Thank you to all our customers for the great reviews! We're committed to providing quality extensions and excellent support for the Joomla community.

FAQ

Questions about Easy Popup

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

What is the Easy Popup Plugin used for?

The Easy Popup Plugin allows you to create simple, lightweight popups on your Joomla site.

It is ideal for displaying announcements, offers, or any HTML content triggered manually by users.

How can users open a popup created with the Easy Popup Plugin?

Popups are opened manually by clicking on a text link, button, image, or other trigger element that you define.

You can also use your own CSS for full design customization.

Does Easy Popup Plugin support automatic triggers like page load or scroll?

No, Easy Popup Plugin only supports manual trigger popups opened by user clicks.

It does not support automatic triggers like page load, scroll, or exit intent.

I want my popup to open automatically on page load. What should I use?

If you need automatic popup triggers, we recommend using our Auto Onpageload Popup extension.

It supports page load, scroll percentage, exit intent, and more advanced trigger options.

Can I control how fast the popup opens or closes?

Yes! You can set the animation speed for the popup opening and closing.

You can choose from options like fast, normal, slow, or define custom milliseconds.

Is it compatible with all Joomla templates?

Can I use multiple popups on the same page?
