        UIViewController *contentViewController = [[pageAccount alloc]initWithNibName:@"pageAccount" bundle:nil];
        self.popoverController = [[[popoverClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];
        self.popoverController.delegate = self;
        self.popoverController.passthroughViews = [NSArray arrayWithObject:self.navigationController.navigationBar];

        [self.popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender
                                       permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp|UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown) 
                                                       animated:YES];

    else
    {
        [self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];

So you don't want to display a WEPopoverfrom an UIBarButtonItem but from an UIButton, right?! Just use

- (void)presentPopoverFromRect:(CGRect)rect 
                    inView:(UIView *)view 
  permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections 
                  animated:(BOOL)animated;

instead of

- (void)presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)item 
           permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections 
                           animated:(BOOL)animated;

and pass in the rect of your UIButton.

Taking your code as an example:

-(IBAction)_clickbtnAccount:(id)sender
{
    if (!self.popoverController) {

        UIViewController *contentViewController = [[pageAccount alloc]initWithNibName:@"pageAccount" bundle:nil];
        self.popoverController = [[[popoverClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];
        self.popoverController.delegate = self;
        self.popoverController.passthroughViews = [NSArray arrayWithObject:self.navigationController.navigationBar];

        UIButton *senderButton = (UIButton *)sender;
        [self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:[senderButton frame]
                        inView:self.view
                                        permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp|UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown) 
                  animated:YES];

        [contentViewController release];
    } else {
        [self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
        self.popoverController = nil;
    }
}

WEPopover is basically used to show multiple options inside a popover with much control using UITableview.

This is how i use WEPopOver to show popup on a button click

-(void)showPopOver:(id)sender{
    if (self.popoverController) {
            [self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
            self.popoverController = nil;
        } 
        PopOverTable *contentViewController = [[PopOverTable alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
        contentViewController.delegatePopoverItemSelectedDelegate=self;
            rectForPopover = [self.view convertRect:btn.bounds fromView:btn];
                self.popoverController = [[[popoverClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];

                if ([self.popoverController respondsToSelector:@selector(setContainerViewProperties:)]) {
                    [self.popoverController setContainerViewProperties:[self improvedContainerViewProperties]];
                }
                self.popoverController.delegate = self;
                [self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:rectForPopover  
                                                        inView: self.view 
                                      permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny)
                                                      animated:YES];
        }

With the accepted solution I get rotation issues for the WEPopover under iOS 7: Basically it was pointing to a custom button in the UIBarButtonItem on the left of the navigation bar but on rotation the pop up moves to the right side of the screen and stays there on further rotations.
