BrightPopups is a lightweight WordPress plugin that gives you modern, friendly popups without bloated dashboards or another monthly fee.
Most popup tools are built as marketing suites with heavy UIs and constant upsells. BrightPopups stays focused on three things: simplicity, beauty and control.
Use BrightPopups on your own and client sites without worrying about another monthly fee. You download the plugin as a ZIP file and install it like any other WordPress plugin.
BrightPopups uses clean HTML, a compact CSS file and a tiny bit of vanilla JavaScript. There are no external trackers or marketing libraries – everything runs on your own site.
The included centered modal and bottom bar are designed to look modern and calm – not like aggressive „BUY NOW“ banners. They’re responsive out of the box, so they work just as well on phones and tablets.
Each popup uses a template file and clear CSS classes, so developers can add new layouts or tweak styling without fighting a page builder or a locked‑in UI.
BrightPopups is intentionally straightforward. You don’t need a long tutorial or a marketing degree to make it work on a real site.
In your WordPress dashboard, go to the Plugins page, upload the BrightPopups ZIP you downloaded from Gumroad and activate it. No additional signup or external account is required.
Use the „BrightPopups“ item in your WordPress sidebar to add a new popup. Enter a headline, main text and button label, choose centered modal or bottom bar and set a delay in seconds.
For each popup you can choose to show it on the entire site, only on the homepage, on all posts, on all pages or on one specific page. Hit publish, reload your site and your popup is live.
No „free“ plan that forces an upgrade, no recurring fees. Just a straightforward one‑time license at a launch price.
Use BrightPopups on as many of your own or client WordPress sites as you like. You pay once, download the plugin and you’re good to go.
