Creating a Warning Rule

↑ Back to top

When you create a warning rule, you will configure:

Add Title — internal label to recognize the rule and then select Warning Type.

Warning Content — enter content you want to show in warning.

Add popup image, icon, buttons text etc.

Schedule & Frequency — optional start/end dates.

Select Warning Display Conditions — define where the warning applies eg. Category: New Arrivals.

Customize Warning Design — choose how the warning appears. Choose colors, opacity, background colors, size, positioning.

Priority / Overrides — Set rule order like you want to prioritise warning.

Once you save, the plugin will automatically evaluate and show the warning to customers when conditions match.

Warning isn’t showing

↑ Back to top
  • Check targeting conditions — product/category matches?
  • Verify start/end dates and cookie settings.
  • Make sure theme templates support inline hooks (e.g. ensure the_content or relevant hooks exist).
  • Clear caching (page cache, object cache) and browser cookies.

Popup not appearing

  • JavaScript conflict? Check browser console for errors.
  • Ensure your display type includes “popup.”
  • Confirm that modal scripts/styles are loading on that page.

Multiple warnings conflicting

Avoid overlapping condition rules unless intended.
