Popup Maker Remote Content

Description

The addon Remote Content loads dynamic content into Popup Maker popups via jQuery.load(), iframe, and AJAX, turning any site link into a modal window that displays the linked page without reloading. Adds the Remote Content Box shortcode, CSS selector presets in the click trigger, and a global loading icon configuration, useful for opening posts, child pages, external content, or internal routes in a popup.

Key Features of Remote Content

• Load Method with jQuery
  Loads entire pages or specific sections into the popup using CSS selectors via jQuery.load().
• On-demand iFrame Method
  Displays complete pages inside the popup in an embedded frame, loaded only when the popup opens.
• Customizable AJAX Method
  Allows control over the data sent and the content returned through custom AJAX calls.
• Post Link Conversion
  Turns links to specific post types into AJAX popups with customizable HTML templates.
• Shortcode and Dedicated Trigger
  Adds the Remote Content Box shortcode, CSS selector presets in the click trigger, and an API for dynamic rendering.

Benefits of Remote Content

• Lightweight iFrame Loading
  The iFrame is only constructed when the popup opens, avoiding weight on the page’s initial load.
• Navigation Without Leaving the Page
  The visitor views posts, cards, or child pages in a modal window without losing the current context.
• External Content Within the Site
  Links to forums, directories, and external sources open inside the popup, keeping the user on the domain.
• One-page Layouts with Child Pages
  Internal pages can be overlaid in modal format to create single-screen experiences.

Who Should Use Remote Content?

• Those who maintain a blog or editorial site and want to open posts in a modal window without taking readers away from the current page.
• Targeted at operators of directories, forums, or catalogs who need to display external source content without losing visitors.
• For those who already use Popup Maker and want to insert cart, product card, form, or coupon loaded on demand inside popups.

How to Download Remote Content

The Remote Content is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it. With the plugin active, options appear in the Popup Maker click trigger settings and are also available as a shortcode.

Designed as a dynamic content layer over Popup Maker, Remote Content handles everything from simple post modal openings to custom integrations via AJAX, with CSS selectors and loading methods that avoid manual scripts. The combination of jQuery.load(), on-demand iframe, and its own rendering API opens room for shopping cart flows, product cards, remote forms, and coupon management directly within the popup window.
