How to Redirect Visitors When Popup is Closed
Popups are a powerful tool for grabbing your visitors’ attention and encouraging them to take specific actions, whether it’s signing up for a newsletter, claiming a special offer, or simply learning more about your services. But what happens once your visitor closes the popup? Often, the interaction ends there, and that’s a missed opportunity. Imagine if you could guide those visitors to a targeted page right after they close the popup, gently steering them further down your sales funnel or towards important content.
In common cases, the functionality of the popup ends when the visitors interact with it by either taking some action or closing it. What if I told you that you could make more out of one small WordPress notification popup than it already does? Let’s see how to redirect your users to a specific website or page when they are done with your modal with 3 easy steps!

What if I told you that you could make more out of one small WordPress notification popup than it already does? Let’s see how to redirect your users to a specific website or page when they are done with your modal with 3 easy steps!
Step 1
Let’s make a redirection popup with the Subscription type. To get started, go to your Popup Box dashboard and follow these steps: click “Add New” → choose the “Subscription” type → select the “Frozen” template.
The “Frozen” template is a great choice because it has a clean and engaging design that works perfectly for subscription-style popups. It’s ready to use out of the box, so you won’t need to spend much time adjusting the layout.
However, if you have a different design in mind, you can fully customize the template—from colors and text to images and form fields—to better match your brand and goals.

Step 2
To make a redirect popup go to the General Settings tab. Scroll down to the Advanced Settings section and find the “Actions while clicking on the popup”. Tick the needed boxes such as “Enable redirection”, after you can see the submenus which enables you to insert the necessary link. You can also decide whether you want to open the page on the same page or in a new tab. Check out how it looks in the dashboard.
Step 3
The last step is to customize your popup if you need to make any changes, save it, and VOILA!
To Wrap Up!
Redirect Popups are an innovative way to lead your customers to take action on your website. My only tip would be not to make redirection to unexpected because that might annoy and prompt exit.
