About this tool.
ConvertForce is a popup builder for WordPress that uses the WordPress block editor. Campaigns get their own screen under the ConvertForce menu, and you build them with the same blocks, the same styling controls, and the same sidebar you already use for posts and pages. There is no separate drag and drop builder to learn and no page builder required.
Most popup plugins hand you a locked-down drag and drop canvas with its own widgets, its own styling panel, and its own way of doing everything. ConvertForce does not. If you can build a page in WordPress, you can build a popup in ConvertForce.
What you can build
Popups and lightbox modals
Notification bars and announcement bars (top or bottom, sticky or static)
Slide-in boxes and corner popups
Floating buttons and sticky call-to-action buttons
Cookie notices and cookie consent bars
Free shipping bars and promo bars for WooCommerce stores
Email newsletter signup popups (using Custom HTML block)
Discount and coupon code popups
Exit intent offers and cart abandonment popups
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and seasonal sale campaigns
Important notice popups
Support and contact prompts
Three display types
Every campaign starts by choosing one of three display types:
01Notification Bar : a full width notification bar pinned to the top or bottom of the screen. Good for announcements, shipping offers, cookie notices, and site-wide alerts.
02Lightbox Popup : a centered popup over a dimmed backdrop. Good for offers, signups, and messages that need full attention.
03Slide-In Popup : a small box that slides in from a corner. Good for nudges, support prompts, and floating buttons that should not interrupt reading.
You can switch a campaign from one type to another at any time without rebuilding it.
12 ready-made patterns, or start from scratch
Each display type comes with pre-built patterns you can insert and edit:
Every pattern is made of regular WordPress blocks, so you can change the text, colors, images, and layout with the normal editor controls.
Triggers: decide when the popup appears
Page Load (free): show the campaign as soon as the page opens.
Exit Intent (Pro): show it when the visitor moves to leave the tab or close the window.
Scroll Depth (Pro): show it after the visitor scrolls a set distance down the page.
Time on Page (Pro): show it after a set number of seconds.
User Inactivity (Pro): show it after the visitor stops interacting for a set number of seconds.
Display conditions: decide where it appears
Set a campaign to Show on or Hide on specific parts of your site. Target the entire site, singular content (individual posts, pages, or custom post types), or archives (categories, tags, author and date archives). Stack multiple conditions on one campaign to get exactly the audience you want.
Advanced Targeting (Pro) adds 37 further conditions across 8 categories, including browser, device, operating system, referrer, URL parameters, cookies, on-page HTML, and logged-in user state.
Behavior: decide how often it appears
Display frequency : every page load, once per session, or a custom interval in days (Pro).
When closed : keep showing, hide forever, or hide for a custom number of days (Pro).
Dismissal and frequency state is stored locally in the visitor’s browser. Nothing is sent to any external service.
Full design control
Because campaigns are built with blocks, you get real design control instead of a handful of preset themes:
Padding, margin, border, and border radius
Background color, gradient, and image
Box shadow and backdrop blur
Minimum height and maximum width
Flex or grid layout with justification, alignment, and item gap
Separate settings for desktop, tablet, and mobile, with a device preview in the editor
Position control (top, center, bottom) with pixel offset
Full close button control: icon or text, icon size, floating or static, corner placement, and offsets
Optional close on backdrop click
Text block with Google Fonts, so headings and body copy can use any Google font without a separate plugin
Accessible by default: popups announce themselves to screen readers, keep keyboard focus inside while open, return focus to where the visitor left off, close with the Escape key, and respect reduced motion settings
Lightweight and privacy friendly
ConvertForce loads only the assets a campaign actually needs. There is no page builder framework, no jQuery dependency chain, and no bloat. It is fully self-hosted: no third-party scripts, no tracking pixels, and no visitor identifiers sent anywhere. That makes it a good fit for sites with strict privacy or GDPR requirements.
Works with what you already use
Any block theme or classic theme
Any core WordPress block, plus blocks from other block plugins
Email and form services, embedded with the core Custom HTML block
WooCommerce stores, for sale bars, shipping bars, and promo popups

Frequently asked questions.
What is ConvertForce?
ConvertForce is a free WordPress popup plugin that lets you create popups, notification bars, and slide-in boxes using the WordPress block editor. A Pro version adds advanced triggers and targeting.
Does ConvertForce require a page builder?
No. It uses the built-in WordPress block editor. You do not need Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, or any other page builder.
Does it work with the Classic Editor?
No. ConvertForce is built on the block editor, so the Classic Editor is not supported.
Does it work with block themes and full site editing?
Yes. ConvertForce is fully block-based and works with block themes, classic themes, and full site editing.
Where do I create a popup?
Go to ConvertForce > New Campaign in your WordPress admin. Each campaign opens in its own editor built on the block editor. Popups are not created from inside the post or page editor, which keeps them separate from your content and lets you show one campaign across many pages.
Can I create exit intent popups?
Yes, exit intent is available in ConvertForce Pro. The free version includes the page load trigger.
Can I create a scroll triggered popup?
Yes. Scroll depth, time on page, and user inactivity triggers are all part of ConvertForce Pro.
Can I collect email addresses?
Yes. Add your email service or form provider’s embed code using the core Custom HTML block inside the campaign, and the form works the same as it would on a page. ConvertForce supports core WordPress blocks, so add form embeds this way rather than inserting a form plugin’s own block.
Does the notification bar push content down or cover it?
ConvertForce bars can push your page content down instead of overlaying it. Your header, sticky menu, and navigation stay fully visible and nothing gets hidden behind the bar. When a visitor closes the bar, the page moves back up to its normal position. This is one of the main things that separates ConvertForce from bar plugins that simply float over the top of your site.
Can I create a cookie consent bar?
Yes. There is a Cookie Bar pattern included, and you can style and target it however you need. ConvertForce handles the display side of a cookie notice, not consent logging or script blocking.
Can I show a popup on only one page or one category?
Yes. Display Conditions let you show or hide a campaign on the entire site, on singular content, or on archives, and you can stack multiple conditions on one campaign.
Can I show different popups on desktop and mobile?
You can style any campaign differently per device using the responsive controls. Targeting by device type as a display condition is part of Advanced Targeting in Pro.
Will it slow down my site?
No. ConvertForce only loads the assets a campaign needs and adds no third-party scripts.
Does ConvertForce track my visitors?
No. Dismissal and frequency data stays in the visitor’s browser. Nothing is sent to DotCamp or any third party.
Is it compatible with caching plugins?
Yes. ConvertForce is built to work with common caching and performance plugins out of the box.
Is ConvertForce accessible?
Campaigns can be closed with the Escape key as well as the close button, and because they are built from core WordPress blocks, the accessibility built into those blocks carries over.
Can I use any block inside a popup?
Yes, any core block works.
Is ConvertForce free?
Yes. The free version on WordPress.org includes all three display types, all patterns, the full designer, and display conditions. ConvertForce Pro adds advanced triggers and 37 targeting conditions.
