WePOP

WePOP is a lightweight, jQuery-free popup plugin for WordPress.
It displays images or videos in a clean, responsive popup viewer — without relying on external libraries or shortcodes.

Built entirely with pure JavaScript, WePOP provides long-term reliability and stable performance across modern themes.

WePOP offers 3 popup grouping modes, allowing you to control how images are organized inside a page.
This is especially useful for websites that contain multiple galleries on a single page, such as portfolios, photography sites, and restaurant menus.

WePOP is developed by WeDOK (Kazuhiro Konta), a Japanese creator with real-world client experience, focusing on essential functionality and consistent usability.

⚙️ New Features in 1.6.1

• Added popup support for YouTube / Vimeo / MP4 videos
• Added the ability to disable popup for individual images via the block sidebar
• Added improved file-type detection for safer popup activation
• Improved behavior for grouped slideshows with smoother transitions
• Added basic information section in the settings screen
• Updated translations for all supported languages

⚙️ Popup Trigger Rules

WePOP automatically detects the link target and triggers the popup only when the URL points to:

• Image files (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp)
• Video URLs (YouTube / Vimeo)
• MP4 files

If the linked file type is not supported, the popup will not activate.
This prevents unexpected behavior with external URLs or non-media links.

※ YouTube/Vimeo videos may restrict playback depending on the video’s privacy settings.
Some videos cannot be embedded by third-party websites.

⚙️ Popup Mode

You can choose how images are grouped into popup viewers:

• Gallery Blocks Grouping Mode
  Only images inside WordPress Gallery blocks are grouped into slideshows.
  Multiple gallery blocks become separate groups.
  Other images open individually.

• All Images Grouping Mode
  All images in the post are grouped together, regardless of placement.

• No Grouping Mode
  Every image opens individually with no navigation arrows.

※ Gallery grouping settings can be changed from the plugin settings.

⚙️ Show Alt Text

Displays the image alt attribute beneath the popup image.
This improves accessibility and allows simple captions without custom fields.

🌐 Language Support

WePOP supports multilingual admin labels.
You can switch the plugin language from the settings screen.

Supported languages:

• 🇯🇵 Japanese
• 🇺🇸 English
• 🇪🇸 Spanish
• 🇫🇷 French
• 🇩🇪 German
• 🇨🇳 Chinese (Simplified)
• 🇮🇹 Italian
• 🇰🇷 Korean
• 🇧🇷 Portuguese (Brazil)
