Description
Redigo Social Chat adds three lightweight floating elements to your site. Put the buttons in the same corner and they stack automatically, so they never overlap.
Chat button:
* Channels: WhatsApp (with prefilled message), phone, Telegram, email, SMS, Messenger, Viber, Signal and custom URL
* Bundled icons for every channel, plus Instagram, Facebook and X, or your own icon URL
* Text button or round icon-only button
* Colour pickers for button and text
Scroll to top:
* Show after a configurable scroll distance
* Square, rounded or circle shape, size from 36px to 64px
* Chevron, arrow or double chevron icon
* Optional progress ring that fills as the visitor scrolls
* Background, icon and ring colours
* Optional hide on mobile
* Smooth scrolling that respects the reduced motion preference
* Replaces a scroll-to-top button added by a supported theme, so only one shows
Reading progress bar:
* Separate from the scroll-to-top button
* Top or bottom of the screen, 2px to 12px high
* Bar colour, track colour and track opacity
* Optional hide on mobile
* Can hide a progress bar already added by your theme or a footer snippet
* Buttons move away from the bar automatically
Layout:
* Any corner for each button
* Stack order and gap when both buttons share a corner
* Separate desktop and mobile edge spacing
Settings page:
* Tabs for Chat Button, Scroll to Top, Progress Bar and Layout
* Live preview of everything as you edit
No external requests: all icons and scripts are bundled with the plugin.

FAQ
-
When the plugin’s scroll-to-top button is enabled, it removes a supported theme’s button. For other themes, turn off the theme’s button or disable the plugin’s scroll-to-top in the Scroll to Top tab.
-
My site already has a reading progress bar. Will I see two?
-
Keep “Replace Existing Bar” checked in the Progress Bar tab. It hides bars with the ID
read-progress-wrap. Developers can add other selectors with theredigo_social_chat_theme_progress_selectorsfilter. -
How do I show only the chat icon without text?
-
Leave the Button Text field empty. The button becomes a round icon.
