Installation
First time Mobile Contact Bar user
Thank you for choosing Mobile Contact Bar! In order to create your bar, simply activate the plugin and visit the plugin’s settings page by clicking on Settings → Mobile Contact Bar in your left navigation menu.
Once the plugin page loads, open the Bar box, choose the Display on Devices option, select the device type to enable the bar and then press the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
Mobile Contact Bar will automatically create a default bar with an envelope icon, which uses the email address of your site’s admin.
Adding icons to your bar
To add more icons to your bar, open the Contact List box, find a particular list item, select the checkbox, customize the icon and fill in the URI field.
In order to add custom links, click on the New Contact button or on one of the icons at the top of the list.
Positioning and styling your bar
To set options for bar (positions, colors, borders, width, height, space, placeholder, etc.), open the Bar box and check the changes on the Real-time Model.
Open the Icons, Badges, or Toggle box and set options for icons, badges, or toggle, respectively.
FAQ
-
JavaScript disabled
-
The plugin works fine without JavaScript on the front-end of your site.
We use JavaScript on the front-end in two cases:
1. if the toggle is activated, the plugin has an option for saving the toggle state in a cookie, and
2. if the Scroll to Top icon is added, it calculates scrolling position in an inline script. -
You have full control over your single cookie.
-
Clearing the cache
-
If your site is chached via a caching plugin such as WP Fastest Cache or Cache Enabler, then it is important to clear those caches after the Contact Bar has been enabled.
Also, if you disable the Contact Bar then the caches need to be cleared again.
