Default message - no formatting
Nice plugin but in fact very simple.Would be great if basic formatting such as line break would be possible in the default messagein ex.: &text=Hello%0A%0AThis%20is%20a%20line%20break.%0A%0Athis%20is%20bold%0A%0Aetc.

Can i ask to you a basic feature?
Very cool application, thank you very much!I’d like to ask if a certain feature could be added, if possible. Would it be possible to have, in the settings tab, a filter that allows me to show the WhatsApp icon only on specific pages? For example, I would like it to appear only on certain page IDs. Thank you very much!

Simple, lightweight plugin
Simple, lightweight, no nonsense plugin to add a simple WhatsApp chat button on your website. Other plugins add too much bloat to your site. Not this one.
