How to add a click-to-call button

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.

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.
