Hide Other Buttons: Enabling this option ensures that upon selecting the primary button, all other floating buttons will be hidden.

Display Conditions^Pro

WP Coder offers a versatile set of Display Conditions options, giving you granular control over when and where your custom code is implemented on your WordPress site. These conditions include:

Display Rules: This option lets you control the specific pages, posts, or other areas of your site where your custom code will run. For instance, you can set your code to run only on specific posts, only on your homepage, or everywhere except a certain page.
Devices Rules: With this feature, you can decide on which devices your custom code will run. This is particularly useful for implementing code that enhances or optimizes the user experience for specific devices, such as mobile phones or tablets.
Users Rule: This option allows you to control which users see the effects of your custom code based on their user role. For example, you might want to implement certain changes that only administrators or subscribers will see.
Browsers Rules: This feature enables your code to run only on specific browsers. It’s handy when you have certain scripts or styles that work better or are only needed on specific browsers.
Schedule: This powerful feature allows you to control when your code is implemented based on a specific schedule. You can set start and end dates and times, allowing you to seamlessly run holiday-themed changes, timed promotions, or any other temporary changes.
Depending on the language: With this feature, you can run your custom code based on the language of your site. This is particularly useful for multilingual websites where you may want to apply different scripts or styles for different languages.

With these options, you have the flexibility to ensure that your custom code executes precisely under the conditions you specify, enhancing your site’s performance and user experience.

Publish

The Floating Button plugin includes a variety of Publish Options that give you complete control over how and when your item is used on your site. These options include:

Status (activate/deactivate): This option lets you easily turn your custom code on or off. This can be helpful when you need to troubleshoot issues or when you want to stop using a piece of code temporarily without deleting it.

Test Mode: With this feature, you can safely test your new code without affecting your live site. When Test Mode is activated, only administrators can see the effects of the code. This is a great way to ensure your code works as expected before showing it to all your visitors.

Insert Tag for Organizing Items (Optional): This option lets you add tag to your items, making it easier to categorize and manage them. This can be especially handy when you have many pieces of items and need an efficient way to find specific ones.

Link to the Page with Item (Optional): This feature allows you to add a link to the specific page where your code snippet will be active. It’s a convenient way to keep track of where your various code snippets are being used across your site.

Shortcode: After you’ve added your custom code, the plugin will generate a unique shortcode. You can use this shortcode to add your code anywhere shortcodes are accepted on your site, such as posts, pages, or widgets. This allows you to easily control where your code is implemented without having to edit your theme files.

These options ensure you can effectively manage and control your custom code, enhancing your site’s performance and the overall user experience.
