## Beskrivelse

VW Floating Chat adds a lightweight, accessible contact launcher to any WordPress
site. Offer visitors a curated collection of chat and social links inside a draggable
widget that sits on the left or right edge of the screen—similar to Chaty—without
sacrificing performance or privacy.

### Highlights

 * Choose the default side (left or right) and fine-tune the widget offsets.
 * Allow visitors to drag the widget anywhere; positions are stored in localStorage
   per browser.
 * Toggle more than twenty contact and social channels with custom labels and destinations.
 * Present official icons on the front-end with adjustable desktop and mobile sizing
   + spacing.
 * Optional contextual tooltips and subtle attention effects keep the UI accessible
   yet lively.
 * Enjoy a compact, card-based settings screen that keeps desktop and mobile controls
   side by side.
 * Clean front-end CSS and vanilla JS with no external dependencies.
 * Built following WordPress.org security, i18n, and accessibility guidelines.

### Privacy

VW Floating Chat does not send any data to external servers. If you enable WhatsApp,
email, or call options, ensure your site’s privacy policy discloses that clicking
those buttons opens third-party services (WhatsApp, email client, phone dialer).
Drag positions are saved in the visitor’s browser using `localStorage` and can be
cleared by removing browser data.

## Installasjon

 1. Upload the `vw-floating-chat` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or
    install via the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **Settings  VW Floating Chat** to configure channels, positions, and
    labels.

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

### Does the widget collect analytics or send data externally?

No. The plugin only stores the visitor’s drag position in their browser’s localStorage.
No data leaves the site.

### Will it work with caching or optimisation plugins?

Yes. Assets are small and versioned, and the widget loads in the footer using standard
WordPress hooks.

### Can I add more channels?

The plugin ships with 20+ ready-made channels. Developers can still hook into the`
vwfc_channels` filter to register additional links or customise URLs.

### 󠀁[Clean, Lightweight & Perfect Floating Chat Solution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clean-lightweight-perfect-floating-chat-solution/)󠁿

 [Creative Tech Park](https://profiles.wordpress.org/creativetechpark/) 18. desember,

VW Floating Chat is a solid, no-bloat solution for adding WhatsApp, Email, and Call
buttons to any WordPress site. The plugin is lightweight, easy to configure, and
follows WordPress coding standards properly, which is a big plus for performance
and stability. I really like the clean admin UI, flexible positioning options, and
how smoothly it works on both desktop and mobile. No unnecessary features, no ads,
just a focused tool that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for anyone
who wants a simple yet professional floating chat plugin.
