Stack

• Position: PR 1 of 3
• Issue/Epic: improve: consultation-popup - Open the Consultation popup from every consultation button on the redesigned pages and style the popup forms to the theme. #160 (Linear LSA-214)
• Followed by: fix: consultation-popup - Open the popup from the CTA band and section buttons (LSA-214) #162 (CTA band and section buttons), then fix: consultation-popup - Style the popup forms to the theme (LSA-214) #164 (popup and Gravity Forms styling)
• Review scope: the hero, header and phase CTA patterns only. Base is develop. After this merges, the next PR's base is changed to develop.

Linked issues

Relates to #160 and Linear LSA-214 (improve: consultation-popup). It does not close the issue: this is the first of three PRs, and the remaining button patterns, the popup and form styling, and the DEV page content are still open.

Context

• Severity/Impact: Medium. The LIVE consultation workflow changes when DEV goes live: visitors need an extra click, and every Form 4 entry records /free-consultation/ as its source page instead of the page the visitor was on.
• Affected versions/environments: the redesigned ls-theme patterns on DEV. LIVE is not affected.

Reproduction

• Steps: 1) Open a redesigned page on DEV, for example /services/design/. 2) Click the "Book a free consultation" button.
• Expected vs Actual: on LIVE the Consultation popup opens in place. On DEV the button navigates to /free-consultation/.

Root Cause

The consultation buttons in the redesigned theme patterns are plain links to /free-consultation/. The Consultation popup (Popup Maker popup 48606, Form 4) already loads on every DEV page and opens from the CSS selector .pum-triggercta, but no button in these patterns carries that class.

Fix Summary

Branch 1 of 3: heroes, the header and the phase CTA. It adds the pum-triggercta class to the consultation buttons in 13 patterns, and keeps every button's existing /free-consultation/ link as the fallback.

• Heroes: hero-split-glance, hero-split-index-card, hero-split-proof, phase-hero, service-hero, services-hero, solutions-hero, work-hero, work-single-hero.
• Home and header: home-hero-static (the "Book a consultation" button), home-hero (only the inline "Book your consultation instead" link, not the whole paragraph) and header (the "Start a project" button).
• Phase CTA: sections/phase-cta gets the trigger on "Book a consultation" only.
• Class placement: on the wp-block-button wrapper, as in the existing trigger patterns (cta-split-buttons, hero-split-glance-support). Each wp:button block comment and its rendered class are updated together.
• Fallback: unlike those two patterns, the buttons keep their href, so a button still reaches /free-consultation/ if the popup or JavaScript fails.

Scope and exclusions

• Left as a plain link: the "Request a discovery workshop" button in phase-cta (/free-consultation/?type=discovery-workshop), because the popup form cannot carry the type. Outline and secondary buttons and other navigation links are untouched.
• Not in this PR: the CTA band and section patterns (branch 2), the popup and Gravity Forms styling (branch 3), the inline Form 4 on /free-consultation/, and updating the existing DEV page content. Pages built from these patterns keep their own copy of the old buttons until their content is updated.
• Review size: 14 files (13 patterns plus CHANGELOG.md), 25 added and 25 removed lines in the patterns. No generated files.

Verification

• Tests added/updated to cover the bug (no automated tests exist for these patterns)
• Manual verification: on the local site, all 12 pattern buttons on a test page open the Consultation popup without leaving the page, and the fallback href is intact (desktop, dark mode; checked by the maintainer)
• Negative/edge cases checked locally: with the popup blocked the button falls back to /free-consultation/; tablet and mobile (checked by the maintainer)
• php -l and vendor/bin/phpcs pass for the 13 patterns
• npm run patterns:escape, npm run lint:json and npm run security:scan pass
• Keyboard check of the popup (checked by the maintainer)
• Screen reader check of the popup
• CodeRabbit review

The header button could not be tested locally, because the local site has a saved header override that hides the repo change. DEV has no override.

Risk & Rollback

• Risk level: Low. Each change is one class name on a button, and the link stays as the fallback.
• Rollback plan: revert the commit. The buttons go back to plain links.

Changelog

meta:needs-changelog: restores the popup behaviour from the consultation buttons. The entry is in CHANGELOG.md on this branch.

Changed

• The consultation buttons in the hero, header and phase CTA patterns open the Consultation popup, and still link to /free-consultation/ if the popup does not load. (Relates to improve: consultation-popup - Open the Consultation popup from every consultation button on the redesigned pages and style the popup forms to the theme. #160)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Consultation buttons across the site now open the Consultation popup. Their existing consultation-page links remain available as a fallback if the popup or JavaScript is unavailable.
  • Button labels and destinations are unchanged. The “Request a discovery workshop” button remains a direct link, as the popup form does not support workshop requests. Other CTA links are unchanged.
