FloatMessage offers a **free 30-day trial** with full access to all features — no credit card required. After the trial, the Pro plan costs **$10/month** or **$100/ year** (save 17%). ### What happens when my trial expires? Your floating messages and chat widget will stop appearing on your site. All your messages and settings are preserved — they’ll resume as soon as you upgrade. The plugin will show a warning in your WordPress admin before and after expiration. ### How do I check how many days I have left? Enter your **User ID** in the plugin settings. The settings page will show your plan status, including the exact number of days remaining on your trial. ### Where do I find my Message ID? Log in to [floatmessage.com/dashboard](https://floatmessage.com/dashboard). Each message in the “Your Messages” section has a **Copy ID** button. ### Can I show multiple floating messages? Yes! Separate IDs with commas: `abc123,def456,ghi789`. Each message runs independently with its own schedule, targeting, and trigger rules. ### Does it work with Elementor / Divi / WPBakery? Yes. The plugin adds the script globally in the footer, so it works with every WordPress theme and page builder — including Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Gutenberg, and GeneratePress. ### Will it slow down my site? The embed script is **15KB**, loads **asynchronously** in the footer, and uses ** Shadow DOM** to prevent CSS conflicts. ### Can I control the chat widget from JavaScript? Yes! Enable the JavaScript API in your FloatMessage chat settings, then use: * `FloatMessage.openChat()` — Open the chat panel * `FloatMessage.hideChat()` — Hide the chat widget * `FloatMessage.toggleChat()` — Toggle open/close * `FloatMessage.showChat()` — Show the chat bubble See the full [JavaScript API documentation](https://floatmessage.com/docs/js-api). ### Does the plugin update automatically? Yes. When we release a new version, it appears in your WordPress dashboard alongside other plugin updates. One click to update. ### Is my data secure? All communication between your site and FloatMessage uses HTTPS. Chat messages are encrypted in transit. No visitor data is stored in your WordPress database — everything is managed securely on FloatMessage servers. ### How do I get support? Email us at **info@floatmessage.com** for questions, bug reports, or feature requests.
