Hello people,

I'm a total newbie in coding,

I'm about to make a POLL for my website visitors in an external website, and I need the POLL LINK to open for them automatically(or in the time I choose, for example after 10 seconds) a new tab once they visit any page of my website.

I've a WordPress, so I need the full code to add, the java script code which will I'll be able implent in the PHP, I'll insert the code in the HEADER so it apply to all pages!

Thanks a lot

  • Hi userer,

    window.open will do what you want, assuming it doesn't get blocked by some pop up blocker or something..

    so, this will do what you want: setTimeout(function(){window.open("url");}, 10000);

    Find a plugin (or theme option perhaps) that allows you to insert the code into the header and presto.. done.

    Just keep in mind that most people fight to keep people ON their page...

    Cheers,
    Michael

  • What about something like this:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popup/

    To be honest, if you are opening random tabs in people's browsers they are probably going to assume it's spam and close out of it immediately.

    • cassihl!

      I abs agree!
      besides, can I use this plugin to show a FACEBOOK fan page? with the option to like it?
      because all the plugins out there whos do the job are over 15$+ and none are free with a donation possiblty!
  • I haven't used this plugin, but it looks like it should do what you need. Since it's free, you might as well download it and see if it works.
