[adaptive-modal.js](http://www.onextrapixel.com/2014/06/25/create-modal-windows-that-can-be-morphed-from-anything-with-jquery-adaptive-modal-js/) makes it beautiful. You can use this little plugin which uses the same jQuery plugin to creae modal windows easily in any page or post or even on a widget uisng shortcode. I have also added another functionality into this plugin, which will let you to embed your modal content into your post a page directly. ### Usage Upon activation, the plugin will create a custom post type called ‘Modals’. Where you can add your content, which later you can use it on a modal or embed directly into your page or post. 1. [modal] 2. [block] ### modal the ‘modal’ shortcode is to create modal windows. For now the [modal] shortcode comes with four attributes. **id** Your modal id. eg: _[modal id=2]Click here[/modal]_ **data** If your modal only going to have just text, you can directly add the content in the shortcode. eg: _[modal data=”This is my modal content”]Click here[/modal]_. This shortcode is much useful when you want to add a modal window to a word in a paragrap without braking the paragrap. ``` note: you cannot use both id and data in the same shortcode ``` **background** This is to style the link and the modal window background. Have to specify a valid color. eg: _[modal id=2 background=”#DDDDDD”]Click here[/modal]_ **color** This attribute is to change the color of the link. eg: _[modal id=2 background =”#DDDDDD” color=”#000000″]Click here[/modal]_ ### block The ‘block’ shortcode is to embed your modal content into any page or post. It only has one attribute. **id** id of the modal post type post. ``` note: both block and modal shortcodes uses the same Modals custom post type. ``` ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload `flexible-modal` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2.

So basically if you have a shortcode like **[modal id=”2″ label=”Click here”]**, you will have to change it to **[modal id=”2″]Click here[/modal]** ## Meta * Version **0.2** * Last updated **12 years ago** * Active installations **40+** * WordPress version ** 3.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **3.9.40** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-modals/) * Tags * [block](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/block/)[modal](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/modal/) [popup](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/popup/) * [Advanced View](https://kal.wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-modals/advanced/) ## Ratings 3.5 out of 5 stars. * [ 2 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 1 3-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 1 1-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-modals/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Bage ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bagerathan/) ## Support Got something to say?
