The once per session simple does not work. It is not properly responsive – a horizontal scroll bar is not what I consider responsive. I just had text, not even good enough for that is the once per session is not working.

If you want to use this plugin for something other than text, you should go ahead and use a different plugin. The HTML editor refuses to work correctly and forget about using iFrames, the editor just deletes everything when you click submit.

I really like this plugin, as the pop-ups it makes are so pretty and easy to configure. Unfortunately, there’s a bug where the any <form> element tags are dropped from the box – you can add a <form> tag, but inside that, any <input> tags are simply removed when you save the box. This means that the box makes a really nice popup if you just have a link or a button to include – but if you want to include a mailing list sign-up form, you are out of luck.
