Folders for Spectra popups
Spectra’s Popup Builder makes popups and info bars from blocks. That is why the list fills up: one popup per offer, per landing page, per season.
Plathix PRO adds private folders to the Popup Builder list in wp-admin. Group popups and info bars by campaign or page and open just the folder you need. Popups and their settings stay as they are.
Popups and info bars in one list
The Popup Builder list keeps every popup and info bar together: live or switched off, new or from last year’s sale.
Its columns show the type and the on/off switch. They do not show which campaign or page a popup belongs to, so you read names until you find it.
A popup for every product, year after year
A popup builder makes a new popup easy. People describe what that does to the list after a few seasons.
One popup for every product or form, dozens of them, almost the same.
Ninety-nine popups after several years, and nobody remembers which pages some of them are for.
You want a popup for each team member, but not a separate copy to look after for every post.
Popups that are on and popups that are off sit side by side in one list.
Folders sort popups and info bars by campaign or page. Each popup and its settings stay as they are.
Folders that match how you run popups
By campaign
The popup, the info bar and the exit offer of one campaign stay together in one folder.
By page
Shop, blog, landing pages: see which popups belong to which part of the site.
Popups and info bars apart
Spectra builds both with the same Popup Builder. A folder for each kind keeps them easy to tell apart.
Past campaigns
Ended campaigns move to an archive folder instead of being deleted, ready to copy next time.
One folder panel on the Popup Builder list
A folder tree next to the list
The panel sits beside the Popup Builder list. Click a folder and the list shows only its popups.
Popups and info bars in one tree
Both kinds share the Popup Builder list, so they share one folder tree.
On and off popups counted
A folder counts every popup in it, switched on or off, and drafts too.
A link for each folder
The address changes when you open a folder, so you can bookmark it or send it to a teammate.
Spectra never sees your folders
| What you do | What changes | What stays as it is |
|---|---|---|
| Put a popup in a folder | Its Plathix folder | The popup, its type and its settings |
| Rename or move a folder | The folder tree in wp-admin | Where and when each popup shows |
| Switch a popup off in the list | Its Enable/Disable state | Its folder |
| Trash a popup, then restore it | Its Trash state | Its folder: it comes back to the same place |
| Turn Plathix PRO off | The list looks like plain WordPress | Your folders wait in the database and come back |
Folders have no URLs and never appear on the site.
How we test Spectra popups

| Trash and restore | A trashed popup comes back to its folder. | Planned |
