FAQ
-
Make sure you’ve entered a phone number and “Show floating button” is checked.
-
Yes — turn off “Show floating button” and use the
[wa_chat_button]shortcode, or add the widget to a widget area. -
Does this add any JavaScript to my site?
-
No. It’s a plain link styled with a small CSS file – no added JavaScript, no extra HTTP requests beyond one stylesheet.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
The plugin loads one small CSS file and prints one link element; there is no database-heavy logic on the front end, so the performance impact is negligible.
