Do you want your popup to wait until a visitor has shown some interest — say, their third page — instead of greeting them the moment they land?
The Popup Builder widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor can hold the popup back until then.

Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Popup Builder widget is part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. It does not appear in the widget panel of the free plugin.
- Widget to enable: Popup Builder, switched on under ThePlus Settings > Widgets.
After X Page Views is a condition, not a trigger. It decides whether the popup is allowed; something else still has to open it. Pair it with On Page Load.
Step 1: Add a trigger
Add the Popup Builder widget and set its content. In Content > Display Options, switch on On Page Load. Set Select Option (Content > Content) to Hidden so no button or icon appears on the page — the popup opens by itself. Leave it on Call To Action or Icon if visitors should also be able to open it by clicking.
Step 2: Turn on After X Page Views
Switch on After X Page Views and click the pencil icon. In Page View Count, enter the number — 3 means the popup can appear from the third page onwards.
Step 3: Put it on every page
The count only rises on pages that carry this popup. For a site-wide count, place the widget in your header or footer template.
Step 4: Limit repeats
Once the number is reached, the popup qualifies on every page after that. Add Show X Times per User so it does not follow the visitor around. See show a popup only once.
Settings Reference
| Setting | Where | Default |
|---|---|---|
| After X Page Views | Content > Display Options | Off |
| Page View Count | After X Page Views options | Empty |
| On Page Load | Content > Display Options | Off |
Limitations
- Counted per browser. A new device, private window or cleared site data starts from zero.
- Counts pages with this popup on them, not every page of the site.
- Pro only. The Popup Builder is not in the free plugin.
Troubleshooting
The popup never appears
No trigger is on. Turn on On Page Load. Also make sure you have actually loaded the page the required number of times in the same browser.
I cannot test it again
Your browser has already passed the count. Use a private window.
