# Trigger a Popup Using Its Hash Link

## Hash Link Syntax

Alright, did you know you can link your Popup Maker popup using a hash (#) link? If you add something like `#popmake-123` as a link or edit your link's HTML to have `href="#popmake-123"`, then you got yourself a click trigger for your popup.

Super simple, yeah? Here's a complete code example for that.

```
<p>Click this link to open popup ID 123:</p>

<a href="#popmake-123" class="button">Turbo-charge Your Popups Instantly!</a>

<p>Replace 'popmake-123' with your actual Popup Maker CSS class.</p>
```

## How To Put Together the Hash Link

To grab your popup's CSS class, just head over to **Popup Maker** > **All Popups**. Look for the **CSS Class** column.

![All Popups > CSS Class](https://wppopupmaker.com/wp-content/uploads/popup-maker-edit-css-class.png)

You'll see something like popmake-{number}. Stick a # in front of that CSS class, and you've got your popup's hash link.

Using the example in the screen capture above, our popup hash link would be `#popmake-15`.

Oh, and you can also use your popup's hash link for menu links. If you're interested, head over to [Open a Popup from a WordPress Nav Menu](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/menu/open-a-popup-from-a-wordpress-nav-menu/) for all the details.

## Other Ways to Open Popups With a Click

Heads up. There's one potential *hiccup*.

Some themes are greedy over # links. They see that # and go, "Mine!" And then, boom, your popup's just sitting there, ignored.
