TalkDock adds a floating WhatsApp button to your site in under two minutes. Visitors tap it and WhatsApp opens straight to your number — no forms, no redirects, no friction.
One settings panel covers everything. No accounts, no code, nothing to configure outside WordPress.
What TalkDock does
- Floating chat button — appears on every page; visitors tap it and WhatsApp opens directly to your number.
- Full color control — solid colors or gradients via a built-in picker; matches any brand palette.
- Flexible positioning — left or right, with fine-grained offset control.
- Pre-filled welcome message — visitors arrive with a conversation starter already typed.
- Animations & visibility rules — choose bounce, pulse, shake, or none; show to all visitors, logged-in users, or guests only; hide on mobile with one toggle.
- Shortcode support — embed
[talkdock_button]anywhere in posts or pages. - Live preview & clean uninstall — see changes before saving; plugin removes its own data on uninstall.

About WhatsApp
TalkDock is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta. The button opens a standard wa.me link — identical to any hand-coded WhatsApp link. The plugin never contacts WhatsApp’s servers on your behalf.
Privacy & External Services
TalkDock transmits nothing in normal operation — no tracking, no telemetry, no background requests. The floating button is a plain wa.me anchor tag; clicking it opens WhatsApp in the visitor’s browser and nothing else. The only outbound connection is the optional Report a Bug form, fired solely when an administrator clicks Send.
Data sent only when a bug report is submitted:
- Report subject and message
- Optional reply-to email address (only if you type one)
- Up to three screenshot attachments (validated server-side; never stored in your media library)
- Optional diagnostic info — opt-out, shown to you before sending: plugin, WordPress, PHP, and MySQL versions; active theme; locale; multisite flag; PHP memory limit
- Never auto-collected: site URL, admin email, license keys, user list, active plugin list, or any visitor data
- A local copy is saved in
tlkd_feedback_log(last 50 entries; removed on uninstall)
External service used:
- Service: Markas Studio Bug Report Receiver
- Purpose: Deliver administrator-submitted bug reports for support investigation. Data is sent only after clicking Send — never automatically.
- Terms of Use · Privacy Policy
WhatsApp wa.me links are standard browser anchor tags. The plugin makes no server-side requests to WhatsApp or Meta.
