Accepted Answer

${youtube}Troubleshooting guide

|| Quick solutions

If you are a Wix user, the most common problem is the cookie banner preventing display.
If you've seen the popup once and it won't show again the most common problem is a 'recurrence' setting designed to stop popups from annoying people by displaying too many times. Check the "Should the display show multiple times?" under rules.

Step 1: Check the install by using the preview function.

Click preview
Enter a URL the popup should display on
Select 'Ignore rules'
Click 'Launch preview'

Did the preview work?

No, it didn't show

If the preview didn't show, that means that Promolayer isn't installed correctly.

Please use the install button from the top right.

Yes, the preview works but it's not visible on my live site

Next, check the orange debug window in the preview. It will list the reasons the popup is not visible on your live site.

In the following screenshot we can see a popup for our upcoming app "Asklayer". The debug window shows that the popup will not show due to

"Show on these pages / don't show on these page"

Click 'Open' on the Promolayer app.

Question 4

Page targeting and exclusion (URL)

Accepted Answer

Promolayer can target specific pages, products, categories etc using URL rules.

Quick usage examples

Be sure to check the correct URLs on your own website and replace the match text in examples as needed.

Show everywhere Leave all rules blank.

Show on homepage and nowhere else 'Show on these pages' Match type -> URL Equals Match text -> https://mysite.com/

Display everywhere except for cart and checkout 'Don't show on these pages' Match type -> URL Contains Match text -> cart

'Don't show on these pages' Match type -> URL Contains Match text -> checkout

Please check your own website to find the correct name for your checkout and cart page.

Display for all pages within a certain category 'Show on these pages' Match type -> URL Starts with Match text -> https://mysite.com/my-category/

Target a specific Google campaign 'Show on these pages' Match type -> URL Contains Match text -> utm_campaign=mycampaign

If you need a specific example that isn't listed here please reach out to us via live chat. We would be happy to add to this list!

Question 5

Wix Cookie banner preventing popup from displaying

Accepted Answer

Popup not displaying? The most common problem is the Wix cookie banner blocking 3rd party scripts.

If you enable the Wix cookie banner and the user (you) clicks 'Decline all' on the cookie banner Wix will then block 3rd party scripts. This is not just Promolayer but all popup tools (and various other apps) will be blocked.

Wix cookie banner

You can find out how to enable / disable the Wix cookie banner here https://support.wix.com/en/article/displaying-a-cookie-banner-on-your-site

To test again, open your website in an "Incognito" window (Chrome browser) or a "Private window (Safari) and accept cookies.

In the case this doesn't get your popup working please see our full visibility FAQ that covers other common problems.
