Clifton's Lightbox

Clifton’s Lightbox implements a lightbox subscription form overlay. Features a title, list, call-to-action, and image or YouTube video. Users can embed their subscription form into the lightbox and use the call-to-action area to encourage new subscribers.

Clifton’s Lightbox Demo

1. Upload the files to the /wp-content/plugins/cliftons-lightbox/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings > Lightbox to setup the lightbox.
4. Preview the lightbox by clicking on the Preview button.
5. After you’ve set up and previewed the lightbox, enable it from Settings > Lightbox.

First, check if the lightbox is Enabled. This is different than Activated. After you’ve activated the plugin, you will need to set up the plugin at Settings > Lightbox. Once the plugin is setup, you can Enable it.

If you still don’t see the lightbox, perhaps you’ve already set the cookie. Go to Settings > Lightbox and click on the Delete Cookie button. That will delete the cookie preventing the lightbox from appearing.

Does this lightbox work with GetResponse or Aweber or any other email marketing software?

In theory, it should work with any email marketing service. I’ve tested the plugin with GetResponse, Aweber, iContact, MailChimp, and others. The plugin requires the form markup to contain Name and Email fields.

Can I use a YouTube video?

Yes, you can set your own image or use a video from YouTube. Videos are a great way to deliver your message to visitors.
