Floating Button

Share This Post

A Floating Button is a global template (not a regular widget) that displays a sticky, interactive button across your site. Typically shown in a corner or along an edge, it triggers actions like opening a chat box or opening business contact options.


🎯 Use Case Examples

  • Customer support: Launch a chat or messaging window.

  • Call to action: Prompt visitors to log in, sign up, book, or request a demo.

  • Quick access: Provide shortcuts like call, email, or navigation tools.

  • Interactive menus: Present essential links or info without occupying content space.


🛠️ How to Create a Floating Button

  1. From WordPress admin: Go to Templates → Floating Buttons and click “Add New.”

  2. Pick a template: Choose a ready-made Floating Button template from the options.

  3. Design in Elementor: Customize button icon, shape, label, chat window content, and layout.

  4. Position and style: Set horizontal/vertical placement, offset, normal/hover styles, animations, and notification dot options.

  5. Publish and display: For Pro users, assign display conditions (e.g., specific pages or user roles). Free users can apply it site-wide.


🧠 Key Configuration Options

  • Content tab: Define action type (WhatsApp, Messenger, email, SMS, etc.), recipient handle or number, default message, and optional notification dot.

  • Style tab: Control size, colors, typography, border radius, state styling (normal vs hover), and icon positioning.

  • Advanced placement: Choose screen corner (left/right/top/bottom center), set margins/offset for precise placement.


✅ Why It Matters

  • Always-on visibility: Remains on-screen regardless of scrolling or page changes.

  • High impact CTAs: Perfect for contact buttons, chat triggers, or micro navigation.

  • Brand consistency: Reuse design across pages with centralized updates.

  • User-friendly: No coding needed — built visually with full styling control.


🔍 Best Practices

  • Choose a contrasting color and clear icon to stand out.

  • Keep the action simple and intuitive (e.g., chat, call, navigation).

  • Use clean animations and hover feedback for better user interaction.

  • Test placement and behavior on mobile to avoid covering content or causing misclicks.
