The free alternative to Bounce Exchange for WordPress. == Description == wBounce is the free exit popup software for WordPress, evolved by digital marketer [Kevin Weber](http://kevinw.de). This plugin bases on [Ouibounce]( http://carlsednaoui.github.io/ouibounce/) by Carl Sednaoui. Exit popups are not only "in vogue", they are provably increasing conversions and therefore boost marketing, signups and sales. wBounce displays an inline popup before the user leaves your site. ("Inline popup" means that this is NOT one of those out-dated, annoying popups windows.) Inline popups catch the visitor's attention even if they are in the process of leaving your site. wBounce is the free alternative to charged services like Bounce Exchange or OptinMonster that are often used for landing page optimisation. wBounce is lightweight and renounces unnecessary scripts. You decide which features will be developed and implemented next. One concern in everyone's interest: Make sure to provide VALUE when you use wBounce and don't spam your visitors. This plugin makes it extremely easy to implement exit popups. You don't have to manually "hack" your WordPress theme. Just activate and modify it via your admin backend. It works with WordPress Multisite so that you can define a wBounce template for each site in your network. Demo and more information on the developer's website: [kevinw.de/wbounce/](http://kevinw.de/wbounce/) = Features: = * Display inline popup before the user leaves the site * Alternatively display popup on enter or after a certain time period * Set custom content via backend * Shortcodes are supported * Determine sensitivity, cookie expiration, hesitation, and more * Add custom CSS * Set default status: Define if wBounce should be fired on posts and/or pages by default. You can override the default setting on every post and page individually. = Future features: = * Define custom content for pages and posts individually * Templates with intelligent template variables/shortcodes * Styling options (display "x" icon to close the popup, set background transparency, ...) * Intelligent timer (e.g., display popup when the user is inactive for a certain time period) * Event tracking to measure wBounce with Google Analytics (a tutorial is going to be created, too) * A/B testing with Google Analytics * Bulk edit * ... feel free to contact me and suggest new features == Installation == 1. Upload wBounce into you plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/) and activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 2. Configure the plugin via the admin backend and define your template. You can even insert shortcodes that are provided by your other plugins. 3. Optionally: Sign up to the wBounce newsletter to get notified about major updates. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Does wBounce work with MailChimp, aWeber, GetResponse? = Yes! You can use any form from every newsletter service since you can insert HTML code into the "wBounce content" text field. Simply copy the form code that's provided by MailChimp (or any other newsletter service) into the "wBounce content" text field. Additionally, you can add CSS using the "Custom CSS" text field. = How to use MailPoet, SendPress Newsletters and other plugins with wBounce? = You can actually insert any shortcode that is provided by other plugins. For example, to use MailPoet with wBounce, simply insert the provided shortcode that contains the form's ID, as follows: `[wysija_form id="1"]` By the way, [MailPoet](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wysija-newsletters/) allows to set up autoresponders, so give it a try. Another well-known newsletter plugin, [SendPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sendpress/), offers shortcodes that look like this: `[sp-form formid=18547]` Notice: If a plugin or service doesn't offer such a shortcode, you can still insert any HTML code. I’m pretty sure that every useful newsletter service offers at least a piece of HTML code that works with wBounce :-) = How to use Jetpack's Subscriptions module with wBounce? = Use Jetpack's shortcode within the wBounce content field: `[jetpack_subscription_form]` You can even extend the shortcode using modifiers as [explained by Jetpack](http://jetpack.me/support/subscriptions/). == Changelog == = 1.3 = * Renamed functions.php to wbounce.php. (This will cause your WordPress site to automatically deactivate wBounce. So you simply have to activate it again, that’s it.) * New feature: Self-acting fire (timer). Automatically trigger the popup after a certain time period. * New feature: Cookie domain. * New: The cookie is stored for the whole site (and not only for specific pages/posts). * New feature: Cookie per page. With this option enabled, every page/post gets its own cookie. * Fix: Added CSS "box-sizing: border-box". * Fix: Added CSS to make wBounce work with themes that use Bootstrap 3. = 1.2.1 = * Fixed broken post view. = 1.2 = * Improvement: Added support for shortcodes that are inserted into the "wBounce content" text area. * New feature: Hesitation. wBounce waits x milliseconds before showing the model when the user's cursor leaves the window. * Improvement: Only load scripts and CSS when they are actually needed. * Improvement: Merged CSS from two files into one. * Fixed "unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM". = 1.1.1 = * New feature: Deactivate wBounce for pages and posts individually ("wBounce status"). * New feature: Define if wBounce should be fired on posts and/or pages by default. * New feature: The wBounce status can be seen in an additional column on the overview for posts and pages. * New feature: Sensitivity. * New feature: Cookie expiration. wBounce sets a cookie by default to prevent the modal from appearing more than once per user. You can add a cookie expiration (in days) to adjust the time period before the modal will appear again for a user. * wBounce is ready for WordPress 4.0. = 1.0 = * Plugin goes public. * First available features: Admin panel to customise settings.
