Close popup my cliking anywhere on the background (outside popup-container)

Hello @solanum:

Please see this article for guidance: https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/455-popup-settings-box-close-option-settings

Refer to ‘Property Description’ >> ‘Click Overlay to Close’. By default, that feature is turned off. Select the checkbox to turn the feature on. It’s been available for at least the past year and half as I recall.

=====================================================

Okay, I read this thread a little more carefully. Do you want to click on the overlay (area outside the box) to close AND not use the overlay at the same time? I’m not sure that’s possible.

However, you can set the overlay to transparent ( no opacity, or no blockage of the content behind ) and still have it active. That setup allows you to still use the overlay layer to close a popup. Each Popup Maker theme has a different default opacity setting for the overlay layer, which you can change.

@solanum – This functionality works in the current version no matter if the overlay is disabled or not.

Hope that helps. If your issue is resolved please take a moment to rate and review the plugin or support.

Hello,

I am not sure if I have understood the involved concept here but I guess I am looking for something similar.

What I have is a fixed button that trigger the popup. For accessibility purpose, I need to add one more close button in addition to the original generated close button of the popup : kind of a 4th alternate method “Press Custom button with class ‘XXXX’ to Close”.

Is it possible to do this ?

PS : I would prefer not to use the close shortcode

There is maybe better/cleaner solution but I found a simple workaround just delegating the click to the original close button with jQuery:

$('.custom-button').click( function(){
     $('#popmake-XXXXXXXX button.pum-close.popmake-close').click();
});
