## 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.

## Installation

 2. Activate **Redigo Social Chat** from the Plugins screen.
 3. Open **Redigo Social Chat** in the admin menu and save your preferred settings.

## FAQ

### My theme already has a scroll-to-top button. Will I see two?

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 the `redigo_social_chat_theme_progress_selectors`
filter.

### How do I show only the chat icon without text?

Leave the Button Text field empty. The button becomes a round icon.
