Animations are a powerful way to grab a visitor’s attention or create a smooth transition when a popup closes. This guide will walk you through applying and customizing Entrance and Exit Animations for your PopupKit campaigns.

How to Apply Entrance or Exit Animation in PopupKit #

Before going to follow the step below, you must need to have installed and activated the PopupKit plugin in your WordPress websites.

Step 1: Open the Popup Editor #

To begin, you need to access the specific popup campaign you wish to animate:

1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to PopupKit > All Popups.
3. Click Edit on the popup campaign you want to modify.

Step 2: Locate Animation Settings #

Animation controls are housed within the layout settings of your popup:

1. Inside the editor, look at the left-hand settings panel.
2. Click on the Display Options tab.
3. Scroll down until you see the Entrance Animation and Exit Animation sections.

Step 3: Configure Entrance Animation #

The Entrance Animation determines how the popup appears when it is first triggered.

1. Click the dropdown menu for Entrance Animation.

1. Select an animation style from the following categories:
   • Fading: Fade In, Fade in Down, Fade in Left, etc.
   • Zooming: Zoom In, Zoom in Down, Zoom in Left, etc.
   • Bouncing: Bounce In, Bounce in Down, Bounce in Left, etc.
   • Sliding: Slide In, Slide in Down, Slide in Left, etc.
   • Rotating: Rotate In, Rotate in Down, Rotate in Left, etc.
   • Attention Seekers: These are high-energy movements like Bounce, Flash, Pulse, Shake, Tada, and Wobble.
   • Special: Roll In.

Note: Attention Seekers animation types are exclusive to the Entrance Animation setting, helping you capture user focus immediately.

Step 4: Configure Exit Animation #

The Exit Animation determines how the popup disappears when a user closes it or completes an action.

1. Locate the Exit Animation dropdown.
2. Choose your preferred style. You will find the same categories (Fading, Zooming, Bouncing, Sliding, Rotating) as the entrance options.

Pro Tip: For a professional feel, try to “mirror” your animations. If your popup Slides In from the left, have it Slide Out to the left.

Step 5: Save and Preview #

Once you have selected your animations:

1. Click the Save or Update button at the top of the editor.
2. Click the Preview button to see the animations in action.
3. Adjust the Animation Duration (if available) to move faster or slower.

Adding PopupKit entrance and exit animations transforms static popups into dynamic experiences that effectively capture attention. Experiment with different styles today to find the perfect balance for your site’s conversion goals!
