Call Now Button – The Free Click to Call Button for WordPress
Call Now Button puts a floating call button on your website. On a phone, one tap starts the call. On a desktop, it’s a standard click-to-call link that opens in the visitor’s calling app. Either way, nobody has to hunt for your contact page or copy a number by hand. It has been doing exactly that since 2013, on more than 200,000 websites. Set it up in under a minute Install, enable the button, type your phone number, save. There is no account to create, no code to paste, and nothing more to configure before it works. From there you can make it yours: Label it: Leave the label empty for a clean, circular phone button or add text. The text can sit in a bar across the top or bottom of the screen or in a bubble beside the round button. Color it: Pick your own button and icon colors. Place it: Choose from 8 preset screen positions or spread the button across the full width of the top or bottom of the screen. Size it: Use one slider to set the button size and another to place the button behind other page elements when something else, such as a cookie notice, needs to sit on top. Show it where it belongs: Enter post and page IDs to show the button only on those pages or to exclude those pages. Show it to the right devices: Choose mobile only, desktop only, or both. Measure it: Send clicks to Google Analytics or fire a Google Ads conversion tag so that a call counts as a conversion. Using Google Tag Manager instead? There’s a guide for that. All of the above is free and works without an account.

No need to leave the plugin to use them. Our cloud service: NowButtons.com The account and PRO features above are powered by our cloud service NowButtons. The plugin does not contact our servers at all until you choose to connect it. The button your visitors see is rendered entirely by your own site. It makes no external requests, fetches nothing from us and performs no tracking beyond the Google Analytics or Google Ads tags you configure yourself. When you do connect, the plugin sends an email address and your domain to our servers to create your account, and your button configuration is then stored on and served from our servers. Requests identify your WordPress and PHP version and your site URL. Terms & Conditions: https://nowbuttons.com/legal/terms/ Privacy statement: https://nowbuttons.com/legal/privacy/ Separately, the plugin can send anonymous error reports and usage statistics to help us fix bugs. This is off by default and only starts if you switch on “Errors and usage” under Settings. It is never enabled on your visitors’ pages. More about our cloud service at NowButtons.com.
Gutenberg
“Gutenberg” is a codename for a whole new paradigm for creating with WordPress, that aims to revolutionize the entire publishing experience as much as Johannes Gutenberg did the printed word. The project is following a four-phase process that will touch major pieces of WordPress — Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual. Following the introduction of post block editing in December 2018, Gutenberg later introduced full site editing (FSE) in 2021, which shipped with WordPress 5.9 in early 2022. What Does Gutenberg Do? Gutenberg is WordPress’s “block editor”, and introduces a modular approach to modifying your entire site. Edit individual content blocks on posts or pages. Add and adjust widgets. Even design your site headers, footers, and navigation with full site editing support. Each piece of content in the editor, from a paragraph to an image gallery to a headline, is its own block. And just like physical blocks, WordPress blocks can be added, arranged, and rearranged, allowing users to create media-rich content and site layouts in a visually intuitive way — and without workarounds like shortcodes or custom HTML and PHP. We’re always hard at work refining the experience, creating more and better blocks, and laying the groundwork for future phases of work. Each WordPress release includes stable features from the Gutenberg plugin, so you don’t need to install the plugin to benefit from the work being done here. Early Access Are you a tech-savvy early adopter who likes testing bleeding-edge and experimental features, and isn’t afraid to tinker with features that are still in active development? If so, this beta plugin gives you access to the latest Gutenberg features for block and full site editing, as well as a peek into what’s to come. Contributors Wanted For the adventurous and tech-savvy, the Gutenberg plugin gives you the latest and greatest feature set, so you can join us in testing and developing bleeding-edge features, playing around with blocks, and maybe get inspired to contribute or build your own blocks. Discover More User Documentation: Review the WordPress Editor documentation for detailed instructions on using the editor as an author to create posts, pages, and more. Developer Documentation: Explore the Developer Documentation for extensive tutorials, documentation, and API references on how to extend the editor. Contributors: Gutenberg is an open-source project and welcomes all contributors from code to design, from documentation to triage. See the Contributor’s Handbook for all the details on how you can help. The development hub for the Gutenberg project can be found at https://github.com/wordpress/gutenberg. Discussions for the project are on the Make Core Blog and in the #core-editor channel in Slack, including weekly meetings. If you don’t have a Slack account, you can sign up here.
