How do I create a content lock popup?

Create a popup that prevents visitors from seeing the page’s content unless they click a specific button within the Popup.

You’ll learn how to create a popup that:

  1. Ask the visitor a Yes or No question, and allow the visitor to click either a Yes button or a No button
  2. Show the content of the page if the visitor clicks the Yes button, and redirect the visitor to another URL if she clicks the No button or clicks anywhere other than the Yes button.\

Design The Popup And Its Content

  1. Go to Templates > Popups > Add New and give your new Popup a name. (An alternative method is to press CMD+E or CTRL+E to open Finder, search for Popup, choose Add New Popup, and give it a name.)
  2. Choose a pre-designed Popup template or close the Library overlay and design your Popup from scratch. For this example, we’ll design our own.

Popup > Layout Tab

  1. Width: Set to 600px
  2. Height: Select Custom
  3. Custom Height: Set to 800px

  2. Link: Click the Dynamic icon and choose Actions > Popup
  3. Click Popup again, and under Action, choose Open Popup.
