About Popup Builder Geo Targeting 2.0
Popup Builder Geo Targeting is an extension for the Popup Builder plugin. It adds location-based display rules, so you can show a popup to visitors from some countries and hide it from others. Many people search for it as a geo targeted popup plugin for WordPress.
It is an add-on, not a standalone popup plugin: the base Popup Builder plugin must be installed and active first. The listing doesn't say how location is detected or which levels, such as country or city, are supported, so check the documentation in the package.
The version on file is 2.0, released March 8, 2020. Test it with your current WordPress, PHP and Popup Builder versions on a staging site first. Add-ons can stop working when the base plugin changes.
Requirements
- Popup Builder (the base plugin)
Key features
- Location-based popups
- Adds geo targeting rules to popups made with Popup Builder.
- Works inside Popup Builder
- Its options appear in the popup editor you already use.
- Different popups for different regions
- Lets you show an offer or notice to one audience and not another.
- Add-on design
- Extends the base plugin instead of replacing it.
- Version on file
- Recorded as 2.0, released March 8, 2020.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Sites already using Popup Builder that want region-specific popups
- Stores that show different notices to visitors in different countries
Look elsewhere if
- Sites that don't use Popup Builder, since the add-on has nothing to extend
How to install Popup Builder Geo Targeting 2.0
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Notes for this product
- Install and activate the base Popup Builder plugin first. Its version may need to match what the add-on was built for, which the listing doesn't state.
Setup: using Popup Builder Geo Targeting 2.0
- Install Popup Builder first. Activate the base plugin and confirm popups work.
- Activate the geo targeting add-on. Check that no admin notice asks for an update or a missing component.
- Edit or create a popup. Open the popup in the editor and find the targeting options.
- Choose the locations. Set which countries or regions should see the popup, or be excluded.
- Test from another location. Check using a VPN or location tool, and clear caching before testing.
Common problems and fixes
The popup shows to everyone or no one
- Why it happens
- A page cache or CDN is serving one stored copy, so the location check runs once for all visitors.
- How to fix it
- Exclude the popup pages from caching, or purge the cache after changing targeting, then test again.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work on its own?
No. It extends the Popup Builder plugin, which must be installed and active.
How does it find a visitor's location?
The listing doesn't say. Check the documentation in the package.
Why does geo targeting fail behind caching?
A cached page is the same for everyone. Exclude popup pages from the cache so each visit is checked.
Will it work with current Popup Builder?
The file dates from March 2020. Test it on staging with your current Popup Builder first.
