## Description

Junk Removal Cost Calculator adds a configurable estimate tool for junk removal,
cleanup, hauling, and similar service websites. Visitors can estimate a job by selecting
specific items or by choosing a truck-volume option. Site owners can edit pricing,
labels, colors, booking behavior, and notification settings from WordPress admin.

The calculator works with a shortcode and includes an optional Elementor widget 
when Elementor is active.

#### Features

 * Shortcode: `[junkreco_calculator]`
 * Specific item pricing with editable categories, items, images, and prices.
 * Truck volume pricing with editable load names, descriptions, images, and prices.
 * Booking button that can redirect to a URL or open a built-in request form.
 * Built-in request form with configurable recipient email, field visibility, required
   fields, optional ZIP code eligibility, optional photo uploads, and optional success
   redirect.
 * Design controls for colors, typography, sizing, radius, shadow, and a mobile 
   preview.
 * Optional Elementor widget for easier page-builder placement.
 * No required third-party services and no JavaScript build step.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin zip through **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**, or upload 
    the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate **Junk Removal Cost Calculator**.
 3. Go to **Settings > Junk Calculator** to configure pricing methods, catalog items,
    truck-volume pricing, design, and booking behavior.
 4. Add `[junkreco_calculator]` to any page or post.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require an external service?

No. The calculator, catalog, settings, and built-in booking form run inside WordPress.

### Can I use my own booking form instead?

Yes. Set the booking action to redirect and enter the booking URL in **Settings 
> Junk Calculator > Booking Form**. You can also override the URL per shortcode 
with `booking_url`.

### Can I customize the prices and items?

Yes. Use **Settings > Junk Calculator > Specific Item Pricing** and **Truck Volume
Pricing** to edit the default rows or add your own.

### Does it work with Elementor?

Yes. The shortcode works in Elementor’s Shortcode widget. When Elementor is active,
the plugin also registers a native **Junk Removal Calculator** widget.

### Does the built-in booking form store personal data?

The built-in booking form sends the submitted request details to the configured 
recipient email using `wp_mail()`. Optional uploaded photos are attached to the 
email and removed from temporary storage after the email attempt. The plugin does
not send this data to any third-party service.
