Triggering popup with menu item

[markskoultchi]

Hey guys. Just curious to know if this is the most recent instruction on how to get a menu item to trigger a popup:

Showing a popup form by clicking a WP menu item

I can’t seem to get this to work for me. In fact, it crashes my site when I add this code to my functions.php file.

I’m running php version 7.1. Do you think that matters? I ask because the instructions are specific to 5.2 and 5.3.

Note: yes, I’ve enabled popups in the troubleshooting section of my Quform settings, a step that was recommended in a thread I read. 🙂

Appreciate any help you can provide!

Hey Ally. A bit delayed but following up on this. Still can’t get this to work. As soon as I add the code to my child theme’s functions.php file the site goes down. I’m attaching the code I’m trying to use.

Appreciate any help you can provide!

Thanks!

Works! Thanks so much, Ally. Not sure where the offending characters came from. I just copied the code from the Quform instructional post and pasted it directly into my functions file. Anyhoo, it works now! Very excited. 🙂

Thanks again!

Oh, one question though:

When I roll over the menu item it changes to a cursor rather than a hand icon (which is the icon that appears when I roll over any other menu item). Any way to create consistency, so the form menu item promtps a hand instead of a cursor?

Small detail, but a nice-to-have. 😉

Sorry, one additional question since I’ve got you on the hook. 😉

Best way to style the popup? In particular, the background color of it and the close (x) trigger?

This is brilliant, Ally. Thank you so much for the excellent support and help. I’ll give these tweaks a shot and let you know if i have any other questions related to this.

Thanks again, so much!

Hey Ally. Sorry, one more question. 🙂

I’d like to use the Magnific popup but I’m having trouble targeting it. If I want to use a unique background image what’s the selector for that popup??

Thanks again!
