Hi @wingrider
I hope you’re well today!
The “hide if number of times shown” rule is not related to dismissal but only to how many times popup was displayed to the user. It may also be affected by the page with popup being cached (at any level – by caching plugin on site and/or some server level cache and/or CDN like CloudFlare). It will not work also when tested in browser incognito mode or if cookies are blocked in some way.
For not showing dismissed popup you would need to go to the “Behavior” settings” of the popup and there
1. make sure that at least one or both (depending on which would you consider as “dismissal”) checkboxes are checked under “closed by” label in “Closing Behavior” section
2. then select one of the “Do not show this popup…” options from the “Behavior” drop-down box below checkboxes
3. and finally set the time period below it (e.g. 365 days in order to not show that popup for entire year since it was dismissed).
Kind regards,
Adam
