Answer 1

This works with multiple popovers and I also added a little big of extra JS to handle the z-index issues that happen with overlapping popovers:

http://jsfiddle.net/erik1337/fvE22/

JavaScript:

var $elements = $('.my-popover');
$elements.each(function () {
    var $element = $(this);

    $element.popover({
        html: true,
        placement: 'top',
        container: $('body'), // This is just so the btn-group doesn't get messed up... also makes sorting the z-index issue easier
        content: $('#content').html()
    });

    $element.on('shown.bs.popover', function (e) {
        var popover = $element.data('bs.popover');
        if (typeof popover !== "undefined") {
            var $tip = popover.tip();
            zindex = $tip.css('z-index');

            $tip.find('.close').bind('click', function () {
                popover.hide();
            });

            $tip.mouseover(function (e) {
                $tip.css('z-index', function () {
                    return zindex + 1;
                });
            })
                .mouseout(function () {
                $tip.css('z-index', function () {
                    return zindex;
                });
            });
        }
    });
});

HTML:

<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="well popover-demo col-md-12">
        <div class="page-header">
             <h3 class="page-title">Bootstrap 3.1.1 Popovers with a close button</h3>

        </div>
        <div class="btn-group">
            <button type="button" data-title="Popover One" class="btn btn-primary my-popover">Click me!</button>
            <button type="button" data-title="Popover Two" class="btn btn-primary my-popover">Click me!</button>
            <button type="button" data-title="Popover Three (and the last one gets a really long title!)" class="btn btn-primary my-popover">Click me!</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div id="content" class="hidden">
    <button type="button" class="close">&times;</button>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
</div>

CSS:

/* Make the well behave for the demo */
 .popover-demo {
    margin-top: 5em
}
/* Popover styles */
 .popover .close {
    position:absolute;
    top: 8px;
    right: 10px;
}
.popover-title {
    padding-right: 30px;
}

Answer 2

Put this in your title popover constructor...

'<button class="btn btn-danger btn-xs pull-right"
onclick="$(this).parent().parent().parent().hide()"><span class="glyphicon
glyphicon-remove"></span></button>some text'

...to get a small red 'x' button on top-right corner

//$('[data-toggle=popover]').popover({title:that string here})

Answer 3

For me this is the simplest solution to add a close button in a popover.

HTML:

    <button type="button" id="popover" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="popover" title="POpover" data-html="true">
                    Show popover
    </button>

    <div id="popover-content" style="display:none"> 
       <!--Your content-->
       <button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-primary" id="create_btn">Create</button>
       <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary" id="close_popover">Cancel</button>  
    </div>

Javascript:

    document.addEventListener("click",function(e){
        // Close the popover 
        if (e.target.id == "close_popover"){
                $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover('hide');
            }
    });

Answer 4

I found the code below very useful (taken from https://www.emanueletessore.com/twitter-bootstrap-popover-add-close-button/):

$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({
  title: function(){
    return $(this).data('title')+'<span class="close" style="margin-top: -5px">&times;</span>';
  }
}).on('shown.bs.popover', function(e){
  var popover = $(this);
  $(this).parent().find('div.popover .close').on('click', function(e){
    popover.popover('hide');
  });
});

Just wanted to update the answer. As per Swashata Ghosh, the following is a simpler way that worked for moi:

HTML:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary example">Example</button>

JS:

$('.example').popover({
   title: function() {
      return 'Popup title' +
             '<button class="close">&times</button>';
   },
   content: 'Popup content',
   trigger: 'hover',
   html: true
});

$('.popover button.close').click(function() {
   $(this).popover('toggle');
});

Answer 6

I've checked many of the mentioned code examples and for me the approach from Chris is working perfectly. I've added my code here to have a working demo of it.

I have tested it with Bootstrap 3.3.1 and I haven't tested it with an older version. But it's definitely not working with 2.x because the shown.bs.popover event was introduced with 3.x.

$(function() {
  
  var createPopover = function (item, title) {
                       
        var $pop = $(item);
        
        $pop.popover({
            placement: 'right',
            title: ( title || '&nbsp;' ) + ' <a class="close" href="#">&times;</a>',
            trigger: 'click',
            html: true,
            content: function () {
                return $('#popup-content').html();
            }
        }).on('shown.bs.popover', function(e) {
            //console.log('shown triggered');
            // 'aria-describedby' is the id of the current popover
            var current_popover = '#' + $(e.target).attr('aria-describedby');
            var $cur_pop = $(current_popover);
          
            $cur_pop.find('.close').click(function(){
                //console.log('close triggered');
                $pop.popover('hide');
            });
          
            $cur_pop.find('.OK').click(function(){
                //console.log('OK triggered');
                $pop.popover('hide');
            });
        });

        return $pop;
    };

  // create popover
  createPopover('#showPopover', 'Demo popover!');

  
});
