It is more practical to only show popups for specific WordPress posts — maybe an individual post or a group of posts that belong to a category. You can do this with a popup plugin or manually.
With a plugin, it’s easy — you just set the options in the plugin’s admin screen. The manual method is more advanced. It involves copying the code that you get from your email marketing service provider and pasting it the relevant WordPress template file.
If you want to use a plugin, check out the list below. If you want to do it manually, read the guide for inserting your email marketing popup embed code in WordPress.
Using a WordPress popup plugin
Some plugins give you options to display the popup:
- on the homepage
- everywhere
- on selected WordPress posts based on post ID, post URL, or category
The plugins that have such a feature are:
Popup Domination (Recommended!) gives you the option to show the popup in specific WordPress Pages or in posts belonging to specific categories.

WordPress Popup Scheduler let’s you choose to show the popup for a single specific URL only. You can’t specify multiple URLS — only one. No where else on your website will the popup show. I don’t think this is useful.
