Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Lift External Link Notice adds a configurable leaving-site notice for external links. It is designed for websites that need a clear outbound-link disclosure, including financial institutions, healthcare organizations, associations, and other compliance-sensitive sites.

The plugin does not require Elementor, Elementor Pro, popup builders, custom link classes, React, or build tooling. Once activated, it watches normal frontend links, ignores same-domain links, skips whitelisted domains or URLs, and shows a modal notice before the visitor continues to an external site.

Features:

  • Intercepts normal external link clicks on the frontend.
  • Ignores same-domain, hash, empty, javascript, mailto, tel, admin, and editor links.
  • Optional whitelist for trusted domains or full URLs.
  • Optional whitelist for subdomains beneath the configured site host.
  • Continue and cancel button labels can be edited.
  • Empty button labels hide that button.
  • Overlay, modal, text, title, button, and hover colors.
  • Font family selector.
  • Pixel-based style controls for modal width, spacing, typography, padding, gaps, and border radius.
  • Global responsive controls with optional desktop, tablet, and mobile overrides.
  • Live desktop, tablet, and mobile preview in the WordPress admin.
  • Overlay click and Escape-key closing options.
  • No visitor tracking and no external services.
  • Master enable/disable toggle for turning the notice on or off without deactivating the plugin.
