Question

I started developing a relatively simple WP plugin that should enable showing a popup box on the homepage when a new visitor arrives.

I will have many more questions on the same topic as I advance through the dev stages but for now, I’m stuck in the beginning.

I’m not sure what hook should I use to have such box displayed on the homepage (page centered)?

I’ve tried using action hook ‘init’ but that somehow interferes with a class declaration in wp_admin_bar.

Is there a suitable filter hook to accomplish this?

Thanks!
