                      \n

                      How do I disable the popup?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Go to Exit-Intent Popup > General<\/strong> and toggle the Enable Popup<\/strong> switch off.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I show the popup only on specific pages?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Yes. Go to the Display Rules<\/strong> tab, choose Specific Pages<\/strong>, and select from the list of your published pages and posts.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      How do I stop the popup from annoying repeat visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Use the Display Frequency<\/strong> setting in the Display Rules<\/strong> tab. \"Once per session\" or \"Once per day\" are recommended for most sites.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I show the popup only on mobile?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Yes \u2014 set Device Targeting<\/strong> to Mobile Only<\/strong> in the Display Rules<\/strong> tab.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I show the popup only to logged-out visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Yes \u2014 set Audience Targeting<\/strong> to Guests Only<\/strong> in the Display Rules<\/strong> tab.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I use a background image instead of a color?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Yes. Upload an image via the Design<\/strong> tab. The image overrides the background color.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Does the popup work on mobile?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Yes. Exit-intent detection (mouse leaving the viewport) is desktop-centric, but you can still show the popup on mobile after a configured delay.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I use Google Fonts?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Yes. In the Typography<\/strong> and CTA Button<\/strong> tabs, switch to Google Font<\/strong>, type a font name, and choose from the autocomplete suggestions.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Is the plugin secure?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      All settings are sanitized on save using WordPress functions (sanitize_text_field<\/code>, sanitize_hex_color<\/code>, esc_url_raw<\/code>, etc.) and escaped on output.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

                      1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n

                      Bug Fix<\/strong>\n* uninstall.php<\/code> was missing six options introduced in 1.1.0 \u2014 exitpo_show_discount<\/code> and all five Display Rules settings (exitpo_show_on<\/code>, exitpo_specific_pages<\/code>, exitpo_show_to<\/code>, exitpo_frequency<\/code>, exitpo_device_target<\/code>) \u2014 these are now properly deleted when the plugin is uninstalled, leaving no orphaned rows in wp_options<\/code><\/p>\n\n

                      1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n

                      New Feature: Display Rules<\/strong>\n* Page targeting \u2014 all pages, front page, blog\/posts, or specific pages\/posts\n* Audience targeting \u2014 everyone, guests only, or members only (logged-in)\n* Frequency control \u2014 always \/ once per session \/ once per day \/ once per week \/ once ever (localStorage)\n* Device targeting \u2014 all devices \/ desktop only \/ mobile only<\/p>\n\n

                      Admin UI Overhaul<\/strong>\n* Full-width, screen-adaptive layout \u2014 no more wasted blank space\n* New gradient header banner with version badge and live status indicator\n* Six icon-based navigation tabs (General, Design, Typography, Content, CTA Button, Display Rules)\n* All tab content migrated from plain form tables to card-based sections\n* Animated CSS toggle switches replace checkboxes for boolean settings\n* Visual icon+label option cards replace radio buttons for positional\/animation\/rule selectors\n* Quick Status sidebar widget showing live setting values\n* Pro Tips sidebar panel with conversion best-practice hints\n* View Site shortcut button in the sidebar\n* Full-width responsive layout via a dedicated admin.css<\/code> stylesheet (replaces scattered inline styles)<\/p>\n\n

                      Frontend Improvements<\/strong>\n* Animation engine updated to properly implement all five effects (fadeIn, slideDown, zoomIn, bounce, none)\n* Popup position (top \/ center \/ bottom) now applied dynamically by JavaScript\n* Overlay opacity is now applied as a CSS custom property from the saved setting\n* ESC key support to close the popup\n* Frequency check uses sessionStorage<\/code> (per session) or localStorage<\/code> with timestamps (daily\/weekly\/once)\n* Device check compares window.innerWidth<\/code> against 768 px breakpoint before showing popup\n* animation<\/code>, position<\/code>, frequency<\/code>, and device_target<\/code> now passed to frontend via wp_localize_script<\/code><\/p>\n\n

                      Bug Fixes<\/strong>\n* exitpo_show_discount<\/code> was registered but never saved \u2014 now properly registered and enforced\n* Background overlay opacity was hardcoded in CSS \u2014 now reads the saved option value\n* CTA toggle in settings panel now uses JavaScript card visibility instead of class toggling on <tr><\/code> elements\n* Critical<\/strong> \u2014 saving settings on any tab was wiping all other tabs' settings; fixed with a two-level hidden-field strategy: exitpo_hidden_fallback_fields()<\/code> emits every setting's current DB value before the tab content so WordPress options.php<\/code> always receives a value for every registered option; per-tab value=\"0\"<\/code> sentinels placed before each checkbox handle the \"unchecked on current tab\" case without affecting other tabs\n* Critical<\/strong> \u2014 toggle switches (Enable Popup, Close Button, Show Discount, Enable CTA) were being turned off when saving from a different tab because the global checkbox fallback incorrectly used value=\"0\"<\/code> instead of the current saved value; corrected so the global fallback preserves the DB state and only the per-tab sentinel can flip a checkbox to off\n* Admin page layout made fully responsive and full-width \u2014 removed fixed max-width: 1180px<\/code> cap so the settings page uses all available screen space\n* Proper left\/right padding added to the settings wrapper so content does not touch screen edges\n* Plugin version number is now read dynamically from the file header via EXITPO_VERSION<\/code> constant (using get_file_data()<\/code>) \u2014 eliminates the hardcoded version string that required manual updates in multiple places<\/p>\n\n
