Description

Floating CTA adds a clean, conversion-focused sticky CTA bar to the bottom of your posts. Built specifically for Amazon affiliate publishers and product review sites.

Unlike generic notification bar plugins, Floating CTA is purpose-built for product recommendations. No locked controls in the core bar, no demo data, no upsell wall on essential features.

Each bar includes:

Product title — the name of whatever you’re recommending
Star rating — visual 0–5 star display (supports half stars)
Price display — current price with optional strikethrough old price
Buy Now button — fully customizable text (Check Price, Buy Now, View Deal) and affiliate URL
Product image — optional thumbnail from your media library

What’s included in the free version

Five color settings — bar background, button, button hover, button text, and title color, configurable from Settings Floating CTA Colors.
Product schema — Schema.org Product + Offer + AggregateRating JSON-LD emitted automatically, with built-in conflict avoidance so sites running Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO never get duplicate Product schema.
Per-post control — enable, configure, and override every field individually on each post.
Dismissible — visitors can close the bar for the current page view.

Why Floating CTA?

Most “sticky bar” plugins are built for email signups, announcements, and cookie notices. Floating CTA is built for one thing: getting more clicks on your affiliate links.

Lightweight — vanilla JavaScript, no jQuery. ~3KB total frontend footprint.
Accessible — proper ARIA labels, keyboard navigable, screen reader friendly.
Mobile optimized — responsive layout that adapts to any screen size.
Affiliate-friendly — built-in rel="nofollow sponsored" support.

How It Works

Install and activate the plugin.
Edit any post and find the “Floating CTA” meta box.
Check “Enable,” fill in the product details, and publish.
A floating bar appears at the bottom of that post.

That’s it. No page builders, no shortcode soup, no 47-step configuration wizard.

Floating CTA Pro

Need more control? Floating CTA Pro adds:

Five more colors — price, old price, subtitle, star rating, dismiss icon
Per-post color overrides — different colors for different posts
Button styles and custom CSS — full styling control
Top or bottom bar position — global default plus per-post override
Display rules — show after scroll %, time delay, device targeting, category targeting
Custom post type support — works on pages, WooCommerce products, and any CPT
Click tracking — per-post click counts with an admin dashboard
UTM auto-append — tag outbound affiliate URLs automatically
GA4 events — send click events to Google Analytics
Schema controls — disable schema per-post, or force-emit alongside other SEO plugins
Second CTA button and click-to-copy coupon code — per-post extras

FAQ

Does it work with my theme?: Yes. Floating CTA uses standard WordPress hooks and minimal CSS that works with any properly coded theme. The bar is fixed-positioned and doesn’t interfere with your theme’s layout.
Does it slow down my site?: No. The total frontend footprint is approximately 3KB (CSS + JS combined). Scripts only load on posts where the bar is enabled.
Can I use it on pages or custom post types?: The free version works on posts only. Floating CTA Pro supports pages and any custom post type.
Does it add schema markup?: Yes. The free version automatically emits Schema.org Product, Offer, and AggregateRating JSON-LD based on the data you enter for each bar. It skips itself when another plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) already wrote a Product schema for the page, so you never get duplicate entities. Floating CTA Pro adds per-post disable and force-emit toggles for advanced control.
Is it compatible with caching plugins?: Yes. The dismiss action only hides the bar for the current page view (no persistent state is stored), so cached pages always serve the bar consistently.
Can visitors close the bar?: Yes. There’s a dismiss button that hides the bar for the current page view — refreshing or navigating to another post brings it back.

Changelog

2.0.15

Changed: Plugin description rewritten in active voice (“Turn product reviews into clicks…”) for the WP-admin plugins list and the WordPress.org listing.
Changed: Removed “Badge labels” from the Pro features comparison and Pro teaser. The feature is no longer offered in Floating CTA Pro.

2.0.14

Added: Template extension hook fcta_settings_page_top (fires above the tab nav on Settings Floating CTA). Lets add-ons render compact header toolbars.
Changed: Plugin description trimmed for clarity.

2.0.13

Added: Two template extension hooks — fcta_product_info_top (inside the product-info column above the title) and fcta_before_price_col (inside the inner flex row immediately before the price column). Lets Pro position badge/coupon-style add-ons near the title and price without DOM manipulation. No user-facing changes in free.

2.0.12

Fixed: Block editor “Save” / “Update” button did nothing when the plugin was active. The validation subscriber dispatched lock/unlock unconditionally on every save attempt, which re-entered itself via Gutenberg’s synchronous subscriber emit and overflowed the call stack. Validation is now driven by a re-entry-guarded reconcile that only dispatches on real state transitions, so saves go through immediately when the bar is disabled and unlock cleanly the moment a previously-flagged field is fixed.

2.0.11

Added: Five global color settings (bar background, button, button hover, button text, title) configurable from Settings Floating CTA Colors with hex inputs sanitized via sanitize_hex_color()
Added: Schema.org Product + Offer + AggregateRating JSON-LD output, hooked into fcta_after_render_bar with built-in conflict avoidance (skipped automatically when another plugin already emitted a Product schema)
Added: Three-tab settings layout (General, Colors, Pro features). Add-ons can register additional tabs via the fcta_settings_tabs filter
Changed: Default button color refreshed to #e85b00 (was #F3961D); default title color to #0a0a0a
Removed: All inline grayed-out Pro teaser sections. Pro features are now described in a single feature-comparison table on the Pro features tab
New filters: fcta_settings_tabs, fcta_schema_enabled, fcta_schema_avoid_conflicts

2.0.10

Fixed: Inline CSS injected via the fcta_bar_inline_css filter is now rendered correctly inside the <style> tag (previous esc_html() call HTML-encoded the CSS attribute-selector quotes, breaking add-on color overrides). </style> breakout still defended via string replacement.

2.0.9

Added: Extension hooks API (fcta_meta_fields, fcta_supported_post_types, fcta_should_show_bar, fcta_should_render, fcta_render_data, fcta_bar_classes, fcta_bar_inline_css, fcta_settings_defaults, fcta_register_settings, fcta_show_pro_section) and action hooks (fcta_before_render_bar, fcta_after_render_bar, fcta_bar_inside, fcta_after_settings_form, fcta_meta_box_after_fields) to let companion plugins extend behavior cleanly
No user-facing changes

2.0.8

Tested with WordPress 7.0
Improved: Listing copy and tags refined for clearer positioning (sticky CTA bar for Amazon affiliate and product review publishers)
No functional changes

2.0.7

Compliance: Replaced all disabled form controls in the Pro section of the settings page with informational feature cards, so the free plugin contains no locked or restricted UI (WordPress.org Guideline 5)
Compliance: Reworded settings-page copy to describe Floating CTA Pro as a separate plugin available from floatingcta.com rather than an in-plugin unlock
Compliance: Removed “Unlock” language from the upgrade CTA

2.0.6

Compliance: Plugin header name matches readme title (Plugin Check)
Compliance: Trimmed short description to under 150 characters
Compliance: Removed manual load_plugin_textdomain() — WordPress auto-loads translations for .org-hosted plugins since 4.6
Compliance: Annotated necessary $wpdb queries in uninstall and migration with phpcs:ignore + rationale
Compliance: Prefixed template-scope variables ($fcta_is_enabled, $fcta_pro_url)
Cleanup: Removed unused duplicate uninstall function in main plugin file (uninstall.php is canonical)

2.0.5

Security: All template output now uses wp_kses_post() for pre-built HTML (image, stars, price)
Security: All $wpdb queries now use $wpdb->prepare() throughout (migration, uninstall)
Fixed: Template rel attribute uses proper if/endif instead of ternary echo
Improved: PCP Plugin Repo compliance pass

2.0.4

Fixed: $_POST handling now uses wp_unslash() and sanitize_text_field() per WordPress coding standards
Fixed: Nonce verification uses sanitized input (PCP compliance)
Improved: Meta save uses map_deep() for bulk sanitization before field-specific sanitizers

2.0.3

Changed: Dismiss now hides bar for current page view only (refresh brings it back)
Changed: Session/timed dismiss persistence moved to Pro as part of Display Rules
Simplified: Frontend JS reduced to minimal dismiss handler (~35 lines)

2.0.2

Fixed: Dismiss button no longer overlaps CTA button — now part of flex flow
Fixed: Settings page pro teaser sections now render with proper backgrounds, borders, and badges in WordPress admin
Fixed: Admin CSS specificity increased to override WordPress admin defaults
Fixed: Feature card grid displays correctly as 3-column layout

Added: Bottom CTA banner for pro upgrade
Added: Admin CSS loads on settings page (previously only loaded on post editor)
