Pop-ups can be used to display featured messages on select pages of your WordPress site. Once you install the Popup Maker plugin, you can create a new pop up, set the target pages, and style it.

Our recommended plugin for creating and managing pop-ups is called Pop-up Maker, and can be found in the plugins library within your WordPress admin:

- Click Add New
- In the plugins library area, search for Popup Maker on the right-hand side
- Click Install Now in the Popup Maker tile
