## Descripción

Boxzilla is a WordPress popup builder for adding targeted popups, slide-ins, and
call-to-action boxes to your site. Show a box after a visitor scrolls, waits on 
the page, views multiple pages, clicks a link, or reaches a specific page element.
Each box can contain any WordPress content, including shortcodes from form plugins.

Use Boxzilla for newsletter sign-up forms, content upgrades, product offers, important
notices, surveys, or any other message that should appear at the right moment without
taking over the whole page.

### What you can build with Boxzilla

 * **Targeted WordPress popups** – show boxes only on the posts, pages, or conditions
   you choose.
 * **Scroll-triggered slide-ins** – open a box after a visitor scrolls past a percentage
   of the page or reaches a specific element.
 * **Timed call-to-action boxes** – show a message after a set number of seconds
   on the page.
 * **Pageview-based prompts** – wait until a visitor has viewed several pages before
   showing a box.
 * **Click-triggered modals** – open a box from a link, button, or URL hash such
   as `#boxzilla-94`.
 * **Flexible content** – add text, images, forms, shortcodes, embeds, or custom
   HTML to any box.
 * **Visual appearance controls** – choose the position, animation, colors, and 
   box style from the WordPress admin.
 * **Dismissal control** – decide how long a box should stay hidden after a visitor
   closes it.
 * **Small front-end script** – Boxzilla adds only 6 kB of JavaScript to your website.

### Works with your forms and content

Boxzilla works with plugins that output shortcodes, including [Mailchimp for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/).
Add the shortcode to your box content, choose when the box should appear, and publish
it.

### Premium add-ons

The core Boxzilla plugin is free. Paid add-ons are available for advanced triggers
and integrations, including exit-intent popups and time-on-site targeting.

## FAQ

### What does this WordPress popup plugin do?

Boxzilla lets you create popup, slide-in, modal, and call-to-action boxes for WordPress.
You choose the content, page targeting, trigger, animation, and dismissal behavior.

### Can I show a form inside a Boxzilla popup?

Yes. Boxzilla works with shortcode-based form plugins, including [Mailchimp for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/).
Add the form shortcode to the box content and publish the box.

### Can I open a popup after someone clicks a link or button?

Yes. Link to the box ID from any link or button. For example, if your box ID is 
94, use this link:

    ```
    <a href="#boxzilla-94">Open Box</a>
    ```

### Can I open a box as soon as a page loads?

Yes. Configure this in the box settings, or add a URL hash such as `#boxzilla-13`
to the page URL. Replace `13` with the ID of the box you want to show.

### Can I customize the popup design?

Yes. Boxzilla includes appearance settings for the popup position, animation, and
style. You can also add custom CSS when you need more control.

    ```
    .boxzilla { } /* all boxes */
    .boxzilla-5 { } /* only the box with ID 5 */
    ```

### Will Boxzilla slow down my website?

Boxzilla adds only 6 kB of JavaScript to the front end. The script is built for 
small, targeted popups and slide-ins.

### How do I disable automatic paragraphs in box content?

WordPress content filters are added to the `boxzilla_box_content` filter hook. You
can remove them with this code:

    ```
    remove_filter( 'boxzilla_box_content', 'wptexturize' );
    remove_filter( 'boxzilla_box_content', 'convert_smilies' );
    remove_filter( 'boxzilla_box_content', 'convert_chars' );
    remove_filter( 'boxzilla_box_content', 'wpautop' );
    remove_filter( 'boxzilla_box_content', 'do_shortcode' );
    remove_filter( 'boxzilla_box_content', 'shortcode_unautop' );
    ```

### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?

Boxzilla is a great plugin…easy to implement and ideal for a variety of applications.
The free version gets the job done, but there are also premium options for folks
who want more advanced functionality.
