Default message – no formatting
by sapu78·2 months ago
Nice plugin but in fact very simple.
Would be great if basic formatting such as line break would be possible in the default message
in ex.:
&text=Hello%0A%0AThis%20is%20a%20line%20break.%0A%0Athis%20is%20bold%0A%0Aetc.
one of the best for whatsapp

Simple, lightweight plugin
by Ram Shengale·7 months ago
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.
