There’s now a great proactive solution for inviting users to subscribe to your site with a little something more than our native Postmatic widget.

Popups is the leading free WordPress popup creation plugin. It allows you to display a popup notification using a modal window on your site and offers a plethora of actions, triggers, and filters. Need to show a popup to anyone from California that has been on your site more than twice but still hasn’t subscribed? They’ve got you covered.

Starting with version 1.3.2.2 Popups supports Postmatic in both the free and premium versions. The list of premium features is long, thorough, and completely worth the $35 price tag.

Here’s how to get started with Popups and Postmatic

Popups is easy to find and install. You can download it from the WordPress repo or install directly from your WordPress dashboard.

Give your popup some content and the Postmatic shortcode
