== Installation ==

= First time Mobile Contact Bar user =

Thank you for choosing Mobile Contact Bar! In order to create your bar, simply activate the plugin and visit the plugin's page by clicking on *MCB Contact Bar* in your left navigation menu.
Once the plugin page loads, open the *Bar* box, choose the *Display on Devices* option, select the device type to enable the bar and then press the *Save Changes* button at the top of the page.
Mobile Contact Bar will automatically create a default bar with a couple of buttons for you.

= Adding buttons to your bar =

To add more buttons to your bar, open the *Button List* box, find a particular list item, select the checkbox, customize the icon and fill in the URI field.
In order to add more buttons, click on the *New Button* or on one of the icons at the top of the list.


= Positioning and styling your bar =

To set options for bar (positions, colors, borders, width, height, space, placeholder, etc.), open the *Bar* box and check the changes on the *Real-time Model*.
Open the *Icons*, *Badges*, or *Toggle* box and set options for icons, badges, or toggle, respectively.


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= JavaScript disabled =
The plugin works fine without JavaScript on the front-end of your site.
We use JavaScript on the front-end in two cases:
1. if the toggle is activated, then the plugin has an option for saving the toggle state in a cookie, and
2. *Scroll to Top*, *Back in History*, and *Forward in History* actions use inline JavaScript for their functionality.

= Cookies =
You have full control over the single cookie which is called *mobile_contact_bar_toggle*.

= Cleaning the cache =
If your site is cached via a caching plugin such as WP Fastest Cache or Cache Enabler, then it is important to clean those caches after the Contact Bar has been enabled.
Also, if you disable the Contact Bar then the caches need to be cleaned again.

= Custom colors for each button =
Currently there is no built-in support in the plugin itself for adding different colors. But it is possible to add custom CSS to your site via Theme Customization, as described in this thread: [different-color-for-each-button](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-color-for-each-button-3/)
