Steps:

Add a New Website in Poper:

Visit the Poper website and navigate to the "Website" section (globe icon). Click on "New Website" and enter your Joomla website's domain name.

Access Poper Dashboard:

Ensure you're on the correct domain within your Poper dashboard. This ensures you're working with the settings specific to your Joomla website.

Get the Embed Code:

Locate the "Code" icon in the left-hand navigation bar and click on it.

Copy the Embed Code:

Within the code menu, you'll find the embed code needed to display your popups on your Joomla website. Click the "Copy" button to copy the code to your clipboard.

Download the Poper Joomla Plugin:

Visit the following link to download the Poper Joomla plugin: https://internal-assets-cdn.poper.ai/joomla/poper.zip

Install the Plugin:

Log in to your Joomla administrator dashboard and navigate to System > Extensions (Extensions under Install).

Upload the Plugin:

Click on the "Upload Package File" button. In the upload field, select the Poper Joomla plugin file you downloaded previously. If the installation is successful, you'll see a confirmation message.

Enable the Poper Plugin:

Go back to the Joomla dashboard and navigate to Plugins.

Test Your Popups (Optional):

Navigate to your Joomla dashboard and click on "My Joomla" to open your website in a new window. If you haven't created any popups yet, you won't see them at this stage.
