Customizing the Widget

After you have pasted the codes in the box, Don’t save it yet. You need to do a little customization.

Part 1) [MUST] Change the blue https://www.facebook.com/bdbloggerhub with your own facebook page link.

Part 2) [OPTIONAL]  By default, the widget is set to pop-up after 5 seconds. Means visitors will see this pop-up 5 seconds after visiting your website/blog. If you want to change the time, change the “5000” value of the below code according to your need. Remember, this value is in milliseconds. i.e: If you want it to pop-up after 3 seconds, change the value to 3000.

[.delay(5000)]


Part 3) [OPTIONAL] If someone visits your blog, he/she will see this pop up once a week. If you want them to see this every time they reload your site, just delete the below line from the code.

[$.cookie(‘popup_facebook_box’, ‘yes’, { path: ‘/’, expires: 7 });]
