i noticed here on my end a code for functions.php of your child theme:
i set the trigger-class to open-popup-link

function popup_script() { 
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function(){
  jQuery('.open-popup-link').magnificPopup({
    type:'inline',
    midClick: true
  });
});
</script>
<?php }

add_action('wp_head', 'popup_script');

hum… sorry, I don’t understand how to use Guenni’s code…
here is my current function :

function trigger_popup_on_linkClick(){
   ?>
    <script>
        jQuery('#triggering_link').on('click', function(){
            jQuery('#link_to_modal_popup').trigger('click');
        });
    </script>
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'trigger_popup_on_linkClick');

as you can see it makes reference to both my “triggering_link” (the one the user clicks), and the “link_to_modal_popup” (the one which shows up in the iframe).
But Guenni’s code only make use of 1 id (“open-popup-link”). How can I link it to my “triggering_link” ?

I could not get your script to work unfortunately. Do you have a working example somewhere?

I have interpreted your desire to have a popup modal window on a link

Yes, what I want is :
I have a link pointing to a file.
When the user clicks that link the file is downloaded, and I want to open another page in a modal window at the same time.

The solution I posted above works perfectly in chrome, but not in firefox/safari.

The download and the modal window are working properly on Firefox.

you mean it works when you click the “click me with download” link on the page I posted?
Here (on last macOS) it only works in chrome. With last firefox (58.0.2) or safari (11.0.3) (both without any plugin) the download is started and the popup is displayed, but the popup is fully black. You can’t see any content inside (cf screen recording in private data)

– firefox:
no error, nothing is printed in the console
– safari:
I got the following error printed :
Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted

ok. thanks for having a look. A pity there’s no way to do such a simple thing.
I guess I will open the popup only in chrome, and for the other browsers I’ll open the link in another tab.
thanks
