Description

Floating CTA adds a clean, conversion-focused sticky CTA bar to the bottom of your posts. Built specifically for Amazon affiliate publishers and product review sites.

Unlike generic notification bar plugins, Floating CTA is purpose-built for product recommendations. Each bar includes:

Product title — the name of whatever you’re recommending
Star rating — visual 0–5 star display (supports half stars)
Price display — current price with optional strikethrough old price
Buy Now button — fully customizable text (Check Price, Buy Now, View Deal) and affiliate URL
Product image — optional thumbnail from your media library

Why Floating CTA?

Most “sticky bar” plugins are built for email signups, announcements, and cookie notices. Floating CTA is built for one thing: getting more clicks on your affiliate links.

Lightweight — vanilla JavaScript, no jQuery. ~3KB total frontend footprint.
Accessible — proper ARIA labels, keyboard navigable, screen reader friendly.
Mobile optimized — responsive layout that adapts to any screen size.
Affiliate-friendly — built-in rel="nofollow sponsored" support.
Per-post control — enable and configure individually on each post.
Dismissible — visitors can close it, and it stays closed for the session.

How It Works

Install and activate the plugin.
Edit any post and find the “Floating CTA” meta box.
Check “Enable,” fill in the product details, and publish.
A floating bar appears at the bottom of that post.

That’s it. No page builders, no shortcode soup, no 47-step configuration wizard.

Floating CTA Pro

Need more control? Floating CTA Pro adds:

Full color customization — bar, button, text, price, stars
Display rules — show after scroll %, time delay, exit intent
Device targeting — desktop only, mobile only, or both
Click tracking — see which posts get the most clicks
Product schema — automatic JSON-LD markup for search results
Per-post color overrides — different colors for different posts
Custom post type support — works on pages and any CPT
Badge labels — “Editor’s Choice,” “Best Value,” etc.

FAQ

Does it work with my theme?: Yes. Floating CTA uses standard WordPress hooks and minimal CSS that works with any properly coded theme. The bar is fixed-positioned and doesn’t interfere with your theme’s layout.
Does it slow down my site?: No. The total frontend footprint is approximately 3KB (CSS + JS combined). Scripts only load on posts where the bar is enabled.
Can I use it on pages or custom post types?: The free version works on posts only. Floating CTA Pro supports pages and any custom post type.
Does it add schema markup?: The free version does not output schema. Floating CTA Pro adds Product, AggregateRating, and Offer schema automatically.
Is it compatible with caching plugins?: Yes. The dismiss functionality uses client-side sessionStorage, so it works correctly with page caching.
Can visitors close the bar?: Yes. There’s a dismiss button that hides the bar for the current browser session.

Changelog

2.0.10

Fixed: Inline CSS injected via the fcta_bar_inline_css filter is now rendered correctly inside the <style> tag (previous esc_html() call HTML-encoded the CSS attribute-selector quotes, breaking add-on color overrides). </style> breakout still defended via string replacement.

2.0.9

Added: Extension hooks API (fcta_meta_fields, fcta_supported_post_types, fcta_should_show_bar, fcta_should_render, fcta_render_data, fcta_bar_classes, fcta_bar_inline_css, fcta_settings_defaults, fcta_register_settings, fcta_show_pro_section) and action hooks (fcta_before_render_bar, fcta_after_render_bar, fcta_bar_inside, fcta_after_settings_form, fcta_meta_box_after_fields) to let companion plugins extend behavior cleanly
No user-facing changes

2.0.8

Tested with WordPress 7.0
Improved: Listing copy and tags refined for clearer positioning (sticky CTA bar for Amazon affiliate and product review publishers)
No functional changes

2.0.7

Compliance: Replaced all disabled form controls in the Pro section of the settings page with informational feature cards, so the free plugin contains no locked or restricted UI (WordPress.org Guideline 5)
Compliance: Reworded settings-page copy to describe Floating CTA Pro as a separate plugin available from floatingcta.com rather than an in-plugin unlock
Compliance: Removed “Unlock” language from the upgrade CTA

2.0.6

Compliance: Plugin header name matches readme title (Plugin Check)
Compliance: Trimmed short description to under 150 characters
Compliance: Removed manual load_plugin_textdomain() — WordPress auto-loads translations for .org-hosted plugins since 4.6
Compliance: Annotated necessary $wpdb queries in uninstall and migration with phpcs:ignore + rationale
Compliance: Prefixed template-scope variables ($fcta_is_enabled, $fcta_pro_url)
Cleanup: Removed unused duplicate uninstall function in main plugin file (uninstall.php is canonical)

2.0.5

Security: All template output now uses wp_kses_post() for pre-built HTML (image, stars, price)
Security: All $wpdb queries now use $wpdb->prepare() throughout (migration, uninstall)
Fixed: Template rel attribute uses proper if/endif instead of ternary echo
Improved: PCP Plugin Repo compliance pass

2.0.4

Fixed: $_POST handling now uses wp_unslash() and sanitize_text_field() per WordPress coding standards
Fixed: Nonce verification uses sanitized input (PCP compliance)
Improved: Meta save uses map_deep() for bulk sanitization before field-specific sanitizers

2.0.3

Changed: Dismiss now hides bar for current page view only (refresh brings it back)
Changed: Session/timed dismiss persistence moved to Pro as part of Display Rules
Simplified: Frontend JS reduced to minimal dismiss handler (~35 lines)

2.0.2

Fixed: Dismiss button no longer overlaps CTA button — now part of flex flow
Fixed: Settings page pro teaser sections now render with proper backgrounds, borders, and badges in WordPress admin
Fixed: Admin CSS specificity increased to override WordPress admin defaults
Fixed: Feature card grid displays correctly as 3-column layout

2.0.1

Added: Pro feature teasers on settings page (greyed-out Appearance, Display Rules, Conversion & Tracking, Schema & SEO, Per-Post Extras sections)
Added: Bottom CTA banner for pro upgrade
Added: Admin CSS loads on settings page (previously only loaded on post editor)
