Small by design
Just the part your site needs.
A direct click-to-chat link for sites that do not need a full chat platform. The visitor opens WhatsApp and chooses whether to send the message.
No extra asset requests.
The button uses a small inline stylesheet and an original chat icon. It loads no frontend JavaScript, fonts, images or icon libraries.
Keyboard and mobile friendly.
A clear keyboard focus outline, screen-reader label, responsive sizing and reduced-motion support are included.

Useful details
Know what you’re installing.
Does this plugin collect visitor data?
The plugin adds no analytics or cookies and does not record clicks or conversations. It contacts no external service when a page loads. Clicking the button opens wa.me and shares the configured number and preset message with WhatsApp. These settings are public in the link.
Is this a live chat inbox or chatbot?
No. It is a link to WhatsApp. Visitors need access to WhatsApp and choose whether to send the prepared message. It does not use the WhatsApp Business API or send messages automatically.
How do I hide the button?
Clear the phone-number field in Settings → DPMLA Chat Button and save. The plugin will stop outputting both the button and its stylesheet.
Why might the button not appear?
Check that the saved number includes the country code and is in the required format. Clear your cache and use a theme that calls the standard WordPress wp_head() and wp_footer() functions. The button is omitted from admin pages, feeds and embedded posts.
