Casper's Flyin' Call-to-Action

Skildring

Casper’s Flyin CTA is the perfect plugin for announcements or calls to action: lightweight, easy to use, and lots of customization options; including two themes (display the CTA at the bottom of the page or have it slide it from the side), several screen positions based on your chosen theme, and full control over the colors and branding.

Don’t let your visitors miss out on great deals or important announcements again!

NOTE: I know the Options page is becoming really cluttered. I’m working on 3.0 which will reorganize the Admin page into a much more manageable set up. Thanks for everyone’s feedback!

Skjermbilete

  • This plugin enables you to add a bar to the bottom of the page (left, right, or centered) to act as a call to action.
  • It slides open when you click it, revealing more information. You can even include a form right in the slide out.
  • Alternatively, you can put the call-to-action on the left or right of the page, not at the bottom.
  • It also slides open when clicked, revealing an important message or further steps the user may want to take.
  • You can find settings for this call to action, including background and font colors, under Appearance -> Fly-in CTA.
  • As shown here, there are several powerful settings. Not only can you control where on your page the CTA sits, you can determine which pages to have the item show up on. You also get a full WYSIWYG editor where you can add media and forms. You also have the option to turn it on and off without having to deactive and reactivate the plugin.

Why should I use your plugin?

This plugin was designed with marketing and project management teams in mind. It’s easy to implement, easy to update, and easy to customize, and all designed to help you increase conversions. I spent three years working closely with marketing and sales specialists, as well as directly with website owners, and time and time again I got a request to implement this exact functionality. So, I did what any sane developer would do: I turned it into a plugin and shared it with the community. While I am no longer with the marketing agency where this plugin was inspired and developed, the love and support this plugin has found inspires me to continue improving it with new and better features.

Are you ready for Gutenberg?

This plugin has been tested with Gutenberg, the new WordPress editor, and works seamlessly in WordPress environments that include it. The editor in the plugin’s admin page, where you write the body of your message, for now still uses the classic WYSIWYG.

How should I contact you if I find a bug or have a feature request?

How can I change the tab that says «Close»?

Unfortunately this plugin is not yet translatable, and in a major oversight, I hardcoded «Close» in the JavaScript files. In a future version, I will rectify this, but in the meantime, here are the steps you can take to fix it yourself:

  1. Through the WordPress admin, go to Plugins -> Plugin Editor.
  2. In the top right corner, select Casper’s Flyin» Call-to-Action from the dropdown.
  3. In the list of plugin files to the right, go to js -> side-flyin.js.
  4. Around line 18, you should see a line like this: if(!isMobile) $topbar.innerText = 'Close';.
  5. Update «Close» to whatever you want.
  6. Save!

One thing to note: Any time you update this plugin, this change will be overridden. Hopefully the next update will fix this oversight though!

I upgraded to php 8 and it threw ALL kinds of errors that were very complicated to troubleshoot... hasn't been updated in 2 years. Wouldn't recommend any longer.

Very simple to set up. Add a few more bells and whistles and this would be an essential plugin.

What a search it was to find this plugin. With a few simple CSS customisations, it does EXACTLY what I couldn't achieve after trying, literally, a dozen of others.

This plugin is very easy to use, and mostly does what it says, but I have a couple of small issues: - I have "Auto Fly In" enabled, and it works great on the home page, but not at all on any other page (I would love to enable/disable it for each page individually) - the "close" tab does not appear on mobile, and the "x" in the top right corner (for closing the tab) is so small that I didn't even see it until I'd been trying to figure out how to close the tab for nearly a minute (I'm pretty sure my website visitors aren't as smart as I am about this stuff, so I'm worried that they might just leave....) Aside from those two things, this is pretty much perfect! Thanks, Casper! 🙂

    • The icon has been replaced with a more elegent and larger CSS icon
    • For tabs on the side of the screen (as opposed to bottom-positioned tabs), the icon has been removed entirely for two reasons: 1) it would occasionally overlap content, making that content unreadable, and 2) the tab already updates to say «Close»
