Description
bKlug Floating Contact Button adds a floating WhatsApp chat button to the front end of your WordPress site. No theme editing and no code — set your number in the settings and the button appears.
Fill in a single number to send visitors straight into a WhatsApp chat with your pre-filled message. Add more numbers (up to five) and the button opens a clean contact picker so visitors choose who to message — sales, support, a specific store, and so on.
Features
- Floating WhatsApp button, bottom-left or bottom-right.
- Icon only, icon + “WhatsApp”, or icon + your own button text.
- Up to five contacts, each with a name, a note, a number, and a pre-filled message.
- Contact-picker popup when you have two or more numbers.
- Business hours: show a live “available now” or “away” note with a status dot based on the current time, days, and timezone.
- Optional auto-open of the contact picker after the visitor is idle.
- Full color control for the button and popup, plus size and spacing.
- Show or hide on desktop and mobile independently.
- Lightweight, framework-free JavaScript. Assets load only on pages where the button is shown.
- No account required and no data leaves your site — the button simply opens WhatsApp with your number.
This plugin is a free tool from bKlug. It uses WhatsApp’s standard wa.me links; WhatsApp is a trademark of its respective owner and this plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.

FAQ
-
Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?
-
No. The button opens a standard WhatsApp chat to whatever number you enter. A personal or Business number both work.
-
The button only appears once at least one WhatsApp number is set in Settings bKlug Contact Button. Also check that “Show on desktop” / “Show on mobile” are enabled for the device you are testing.
-
What number format should I use?
-
Include the country code, for example +1 555 123 1234. Spaces, dashes, and the plus sign are fine — the plugin strips them automatically.
-
Can I show more than one number?
-
Yes. Fill in up to five contacts. With two or more, the button opens a contact picker so visitors choose who to message.
-
Does it slow down my site?
-
No. The CSS and JavaScript are small, framework-free, and only load on pages where the button is displayed.
