# How to show WordPress Popup once per website Session for a user?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Popup Builder block limits a popup by user session through Display Conditions > Show X Times per User, with a Number of Times field that sets how many times it shows per user.
- Inactive Days field lets Nexter Blocks show the popup again after a user stays inactive for a certain number of days.
- Popup Load Settings tab requires the Type to be set to Hidden when there are no popup trigger elements on the page.

Having a popup on your WordPress website can be a great way to engage users. Popups can be used to inform visitors about upcoming events, special offers, and more. However, it's important to make sure that your popups aren't too intrusive and that your visitors don't experience them too frequently.

In the **Number of Times** field mention the number, this will set how many times the popup will show per user.

Using this process you can create a cookie consent popup on your website without using an extra plugin for that.

Using the **Inactive Days** field you can show the popup again to a user if they remain inactive for a certain number of days.

Since this type of popup will show automatically make sure to use this option in combination with other display conditions like **On Page Load** or **After Inactivity** or something other to show the popup automatically without users needing to click on anything.

> *Note: Make sure there are no popup trigger elements on the page, so set the ****Type**** to ****Hidden**** in the ****Popup Load Settings*** *tab.*
