Click to Dial - Direct Call From Website WordPress Plugin 1.3.0

Click to Dial is a lightweight yet powerful WordPress plugin developed by ThemeAtelier (available on CodeCanyon and WordPress.org). It is designed to add a "Call Now" button or floating bubble to your website, allowing visitors to initiate a phone call with just one or two taps.

Unlike static text links, this plugin provides a professional, interactive interface that can handle multiple staff members and complex schedules.

## Core Functionality

One-Click Dialing: On mobile devices, clicking the button instantly opens the phone's dialer with your number pre-filled.

Desktop Compatibility: On computers, it can trigger VoIP apps like Skype, WhatsApp, or FaceTime, or simply display the number clearly for manual dialing.

Floating Bubbles & Static Buttons: You can choose between a sticky "bubble" that follows the user as they scroll or a fixed button placed within your content.

## Key Features (Pro Version)

The Premium version of Click to Dial (Direct Call From Website) is specifically built for businesses with sales or support teams:

Multiple Agents Support: Add unlimited agents or departments. When a user clicks the call button, they are presented with a list (e.g., "Sales," "Technical Support," "Emergency") to choose who they want to call.

Availability Scheduler: Set specific working hours for each agent. The button will automatically hide or show an "Offline" status based on your timezone settings.

Animations: Includes various "attention-grabber" animations (pulse, shake, bounce) to ensure the call button doesn't go unnoticed.

Device Targeting: Choose to show the button only on mobile, only on desktop, or across all devices.

Gutenberg & Elementor Support: Comes with a dedicated Elementor widget and a Gutenberg block, allowing you to style and place buttons anywhere without shortcodes.

## How It Compares to Manual Links

While you can technically create a call link using standard HTML ($<a\ href="tel:+123456789">Call\ Us</a>$), Click to Dial offers several advantages:
