Global Header Button for Pop-ups No Longer Works!!!

Daniel Kress
ince HighLevel introduced the new multiple pop-ups per page feature, global header buttons that were previously set to “Open Pop-up” no longer work reliably.
Here’s the problem:
A button in the global header can only be linked to a single pop-up ID.
Each page now has different pop-ups (or sometimes none).
This makes a global header button (like “Get Certified” or “Book a Call”) essentially useless, because it either fails on pages without that specific pop-up or triggers the wrong one.
Why this matters:
Global sections are meant to save time and keep branding consistent.
Right now, we are forced to add custom code snippets per page just to re-map the correct pop-up ID to the global button.
This is fragile, time-consuming, and defeats the purpose of reusable global sections.
Suggested solution:
Please add native support so that a global button can dynamically trigger the correct local pop-up on each page. For example:
Allow us to select a pop-up alias/class instead of a hardcoded ID.
Or, let a global button “inherit” whichever pop-up is available on the current page.
Or, provide a setting to configure different pop-ups per page while still using the same global button.
This would restore the usefulness of global sections and align with the new multi-pop-up flexibility.

This is the most useless update that GHL has implemented. what if you have 30-page website? this is very annoying. I really enjoy many of GHLs features, especially the automation tools. they offer a lot of valuable options. but come on! their page builder is by far the worst i've ever encountered in my entire life.

Yes! I just discovered this and it's a major problem. I just redid all of the headers taking the new multiple pop-ups into account, removing the wonky code we used to create this functionality before, and the new ones Don't Work in the global header. Now I'll have to duplicated the header on every page and customize it for each page's duplicate pop-ups until this is resolved. So much work, argh!

I 2nd this. How did you do the ID custom code. I'm not sure how to find the ID, and how to replace it using custom code on every page dynamically.
It would be amazing if you could drop that code snippet and explain briefly. Thank you so much! (this is affecting the results of all my clients right now lol)
