La façon la plus naturelle de créer des fenêtres surgissantes avec Gutenberg. Le résultat est à la hauteur de votre créativité, léger et rapide à afficher. Pas de surcharge inutile. Bravo et merci ! Nous pourrions vous suggérer d’y adjoindre les évolutions suivantes, auxquelles vous avez surement déjà pensé 😉 : Permettre l’affichage des fenêtres surgissantes entre une date de début et une date de fin (qui peuvent être égales); Permettre l’affichage des fenêtres surgissantes en cliquant sur un lien, par exemple un bouton (Trigger : Clic); Permettre l’affichage des fenêtres surgissantes en fonction d’un nombre de fois par visiteur, par exemple 1 fois par jour.
