How to add a click-to-call button

Using a plugin to add a call button

The simplest and most effective way is using a plugin to add a call button. Actually, there are many plugins that help you create a call button for your WordPress site. However, in the blog, we will instruct you with WP Call Button. With more than 20000 active installations, we believe that it will be helpful for you.

Before using the WP Call Button plugin, you need to install it on your site. Now, on the admin dashboard, let’s go to Plugins -> Add New, then enter the name of the plugin on the search bar. After that, you just need to click on Install Now -> Activate.

In the next step, you simply choose Settings -> WP Call Button. Then, in the Sticky Call Button, you have to fill out the phone number of your business to continue the settings.

Besides that, don’t forget to turn on the Call Now Button Status button. This will make sure that the Call button will be displayed on your site.

Moreover, this plugin also allows you to set up the Call Button Text, Position, Color, and Visibility in your own way.

Finally, don’t forget to store your settings by pressing on Save Changes button.

Now, let’s look at what the site will be on the smartphone. You will see the position of the Call Us button when you access your site on the smartphone.

In case you desire to add a static call button to your site, such as a contact page, about us page, and any other post, this plugin can support you to do that easily.

If your site is built with Classic Editor – a popular WordPress Editor Plugin, you just need to go to the Static Call Button section. Then, edit the Call Button Text, Call Button Color, and phone icon. After that, simply copy the shortcode and add it to any page or post you want.

On the other hand, if you are utilizing WordPress Block Editor, let’s go to the post or page you want to add. After that, click on the ‘+’ icon and find WP Call Button to add.
