## 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
1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Edit any post and find the “Floating CTA” meta box.
3. Check “Enable,” fill in the product details, and publish.
4. 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](https://floatingcta.com/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.

## Installation
1. Upload the `floatingcta` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
3. Go to **Settings Floating CTA** to configure defaults.
4. Edit any post and use the Floating CTA meta box to enable per post.
## 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](https://floatingcta.com/pro/)
supports pages and any custom post type.
### Does it add schema markup?
The free version does not output schema. [Floating CTA Pro](https://floatingcta.com/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

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`)

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)

#### 2.0.6
* Compliance: Plugin header name matches readme title (Plugin Check)
* Compliance: Trimmed short description to under 150 characters

phpcs:ignore + rationale
* Compliance: Prefixed template-scope variables ($fcta_is_enabled, $fcta_pro_url)

sanitizers
#### 2.0.3
* Changed: Dismiss now hides bar for current page view only (refresh brings it
back)

borders, and badges in WordPress admin
* Fixed: Admin CSS specificity increased to override WordPress admin defaults
