It is possible to use any other anchor to trigger the popup form. It becomes handy if you want to use your theme’s button to trigger an eForm.

  • Set the Button Position to Hidden / Manual Trigger.
  • Now clicking the OK button will show you a message with trigger URL.
  • You either note down the trigger URL and insert your theme’s button yourself.
  • Or simply click OK on that message and it will insert a plain anchor tag on your content (along with the required shortcode) which you can customize.
  • Make sure, the trigger button has the class eform-manual-popup and proper href set #ipt-fsqm-popup-form-{id}. The rest of the data attributes are optional.
