How to Create a Click to Call Button in WordPress (2 Easy Ways)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Below we share 2 easy ways to add a call link to your WordPress website. The first method uses a WordPress plugin<\/a>, while the second shows you how to add your call link manually.<\/p>\n\n\n- Method 1. Add a Call Button in WordPress with a Plugin<\/a>
<\/ul><\/li>- Method 2. Manually Adding a Click to Call Button in WordPress<\/a>
<\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\nMethod 1. Add a Call Button in WordPress with a Plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start with the first and most straightforward method, using a WordPress plugin. We recommend this method for users of all abilities because it allows you to add a call button almost anywhere on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step is downloading the WP Call Button plugin<\/a> and installing and activating it on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you need help with this step, here\u2019s a guide on how to install a WordPress plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter installing the plugin .zip file, go to the Settings \u00bb WP Call Button<\/strong> page to choose your plugin settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"WP](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/wp-call-button-settings.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCreating a Sticky Call Button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
On the first settings page, you can create a Sticky Call Button. It works by scrolling with the user as they browse your website, making it easier for them to get in touch quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To set up your Sticky Call Button, first, enter your phone number. You won\u2019t even need to enter your country code; select your country, and the plugin will automatically add it in the correct format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"WP](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/wp-call-button-customization-settings.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNext, you can set up how your call button looks. For example, you can change the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Call button text<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Button position<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Call button color<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The WP Call Button plugin will show your call button on all pages by default. However, you can change that in the visibility section to show the button only on certain pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also turn on the toggle to only show the call button on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re happy with your settings, change the \u2018Call Button Status\u2019 to Active<\/strong> and click the Save Changes<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"enable](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/enable-call-now-button.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow you can visit your website and see the button in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Sticky](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sticky-call-now-button.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCreating a Static Call Button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The second option on the settings page allows you to create a Static Call Button. Static call buttons are an excellent way to add the same tap to call functionality to your about page, contact page, and other pages on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are 2 ways to add static call buttons to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you can quickly add a button to any page with the WordPress block editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do that, create or edit a WordPress page and click the plus (+) icon to add a new block. From there, search for \u2018WP Call Button\u2019 and add the block to your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"WP](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/wp-call-button-block.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe block has several customization options, including button and text colors, size and alignment options, and the ability to hide or show the phone icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"static](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/call-button-block-customizations.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter installing the static button, users can click and call the number you added to the settings page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"static](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/static-call-now-button-wordpress.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nUsing the classic WordPress editor, you can create a static call button with the plugins\u2019 shortcode generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can customize the button text color and hide the phone icon like the sticky call button. After that, you can copy the shortcode and paste it into the relevant page or post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"call](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/call-now-button-shortcode.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdding Call Buttons to Your Sidebar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Manually Adding a Click to Call Button in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can use this method to add a call button or link to your WordPress site without using a plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All it involves is copying and pasting some HTML code and adding your telephone number like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<a href=\"tel:+15555551213\">+1 (555) 555-12123<\/a> \n\n<a href=\"tel:15555551213\">Call Me<\/a><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nBoth of these links will open your phone app on mobile devices. If you\u2019re a Mac user, the link will open the Facetime app, and for Windows desktop, the link will open in Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to add an icon next to your call now link, you can also do it with HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to Media <\/strong>\u00bb Add New <\/strong>and upload the image you wish to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"upload](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/call-now-icon-url.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFrom there, click the \u2018Copy URL to clipboard’ link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you can edit any post, page, or custom HTML widget and add your phone icon wrapped inside the tel: link like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<a href=\"tel:+15555551213\"><img src=\"http:\/\/example.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/phoneicon.png\" alt=\"Call us\" \/><\/a><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAfter saving your changes, you can visit the page and see your custom call now icon in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"call](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/call-now-button-without-plugin.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdding Click-to-Call Buttons to Navigation Menus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A call now button removes friction and helps you convert more mobile visitors into leads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Nearly 60% of web traffic now comes from mobile<\/a>. But if people can\u2019t reach you quickly, they\u2019ll leave. A call button gives users an immediate way to contact you, especially when they need help, quotes, or support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use it to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below we share 2 easy ways to add a call link to your WordPress website. The first method uses a WordPress plugin<\/a>, while the second shows you how to add your call link manually.<\/p>\n\n\n Let\u2019s start with the first and most straightforward method, using a WordPress plugin. We recommend this method for users of all abilities because it allows you to add a call button almost anywhere on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step is downloading the WP Call Button plugin<\/a> and installing and activating it on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need help with this step, here\u2019s a guide on how to install a WordPress plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After installing the plugin .zip file, go to the Settings \u00bb WP Call Button<\/strong> page to choose your plugin settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the first settings page, you can create a Sticky Call Button. It works by scrolling with the user as they browse your website, making it easier for them to get in touch quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To set up your Sticky Call Button, first, enter your phone number. You won\u2019t even need to enter your country code; select your country, and the plugin will automatically add it in the correct format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, you can set up how your call button looks. For example, you can change the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The WP Call Button plugin will show your call button on all pages by default. However, you can change that in the visibility section to show the button only on certain pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also turn on the toggle to only show the call button on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re happy with your settings, change the \u2018Call Button Status\u2019 to Active<\/strong> and click the Save Changes<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you can visit your website and see the button in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second option on the settings page allows you to create a Static Call Button. Static call buttons are an excellent way to add the same tap to call functionality to your about page, contact page, and other pages on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 2 ways to add static call buttons to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you can quickly add a button to any page with the WordPress block editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do that, create or edit a WordPress page and click the plus (+) icon to add a new block. From there, search for \u2018WP Call Button\u2019 and add the block to your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The block has several customization options, including button and text colors, size and alignment options, and the ability to hide or show the phone icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After installing the static button, users can click and call the number you added to the settings page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using the classic WordPress editor, you can create a static call button with the plugins\u2019 shortcode generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head back to the Settings \u00bb WP Call Button<\/strong> page <\/strong>and click the \u2018Static Call Button\u2019 tab at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can customize the button text color and hide the phone icon like the sticky call button. After that, you can copy the shortcode and paste it into the relevant page or post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The WP Call Button plugin lets you add clickable buttons to your WordPress sidebar that allows users to call you instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find it, go to Appearance <\/strong>\u00bb Widgets <\/strong>and click the plus (+) icon to add a new widget. From there, look for the WP Call Button widget and click to add it to your sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, click the Update<\/strong> button to save your changes. Then, you can visit your website and see the call button in your WordPress sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, using this plugin is super easy. What\u2019s even better is it\u2019s completely free to download and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, WP Call Button works seamlessly with Google Analytics for click tracking on phone calls. If you don\u2019t already have it set up on your site, follow this guide on how to install Google Analytics in WordPress<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use this method to add a call button or link to your WordPress site without using a plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All it involves is copying and pasting some HTML code and adding your telephone number like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both of these links will open your phone app on mobile devices. If you\u2019re a Mac user, the link will open the Facetime app, and for Windows desktop, the link will open in Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to add an icon next to your call now link, you can also do it with HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to Media <\/strong>\u00bb Add New <\/strong>and upload the image you wish to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From there, click the \u2018Copy URL to clipboard’ link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you can edit any post, page, or custom HTML widget and add your phone icon wrapped inside the tel: link like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n After saving your changes, you can visit the page and see your custom call now icon in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know you can also add a call button to navigation menus in WordPress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do that, go to Appearance<\/strong> \u00bb Menus <\/strong>and click the Custom Links<\/strong> heading on the left-hand side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the URL field, you can type in your phone number like this: tel:+155555553<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then in the Link Text field, you can add some text like \u2018Call Us.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n After adding that information, click the Add to Menu<\/strong> button and click the Save Menu<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can now visit your website to see your menu call link in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A call now button is one of the simplest ways to make your website more helpful \u2014 and more effective. Whether you use a plugin or add the HTML manually, it gives your visitors a clear next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re focused on getting more leads from your site, here are a few other tutorials you might find useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you liked this article, please subscribe to our\u00a0YouTube Channel<\/a>\u00a0for RafflePress video tutorials.
