Description
Pingtumi Alerts lets the people who visit your site get push alerts from you: sales, restocks, new posts, events, or anything else you want to tell them. They tap a floating Get Alerts button, and that’s it. No app to download, no email address, no phone number.
This plugin adds that button to your WordPress site. Paste your Ping Link once, and the button appears on every page, on any theme or page builder.
- One step: paste your Ping Link from the Pingtumi dashboard and save.
- Styled from your dashboard: button text, colors, position and the intro bubble are set in Pingtumi. Changes show on your site within a minute, with no plugin update.
- Pick your pages and posts: show the button everywhere, only on pages and posts you pick, or everywhere except the ones you pick. Each page and post has a checkbox in its editor sidebar (in Elementor, under Page Settings).
- WooCommerce ready: the button stays off your Cart and Checkout pages by default, so it never distracts a shopper who is paying.
- Works with caching plugins: the plugin tells LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, Autoptimize, SiteGround Optimizer and Cloudflare Rocket Loader to leave the button’s script alone.
- Lightweight: one small script, loaded asynchronously in the footer, so it never slows your pages down.
You need a free Pingtumi Alerts account and a channel. Sign up at alerts.pingtumi.com.

External services
This plugin connects to Pingtumi Alerts (alerts.pingtumi.com), the service that shows the button and sends your alerts. It is needed for the plugin to work.
- On every page that shows the button, the visitor’s browser loads
https://alerts.pingtumi.com/widget.jsand askshttps://alerts.pingtumi.com/api/widget/YOUR-CHANNELfor your button settings. Pingtumi receives the visitor’s IP address and browser details as part of these normal web requests, and the channel name from your Ping Link. The button sets no cookies. It only remembers, in the visitor’s browser storage, whether its intro bubble has already been shown. - When you save the settings page or click “Check again”, your WordPress server asks the same
api/widgetaddress whether your Ping Link exists. Only the channel name from your Ping Link is sent. - When a visitor taps Subscribe, they leave your site for your Pingtumi Ping Page, where they can allow notifications. Pingtumi does not ask them for an email address or phone number.

FAQ
-
Do my visitors need to give an email or phone number?
-
No. They allow notifications in their browser or on their phone’s Home Screen, and that’s it.
-
In your Pingtumi dashboard, under Share Add to Website Floating Button. There’s nothing to change in WordPress.
-
Yes. In Settings Pingtumi Alerts, set Show the button on to “Only pages and posts I pick” or “All pages and posts except ones I pick”. Then tick the Pingtumi Alerts button box in the sidebar when you edit a page or post. The settings page lists everything you’ve picked.
-
Does it work with Elementor, Divi or other page builders?
-
Yes. The button is added to every page through WordPress itself, so it works with any theme or builder. In Elementor, the per-page switch is under Page Settings (the gear icon).
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. It shows on your shop and product pages. It is hidden on Cart and Checkout by default, and you can change that on the settings page.
-
Check the status under the Ping Link field. If it says the button is turned off, turn it on in your Pingtumi dashboard. If you use a caching plugin, clear its cache once after saving.
-
Does it work on WordPress.com?
-
On WordPress.com, plugins can only be installed on the Business plan and above. Self-hosted WordPress sites work on any host.
