Add a customizable floating call-to-action button to the left or right side of your WordPress website.

== Description ==

Globaldev Sidebar Button adds a persistent vertical call-to-action tab to your website. Use it to link visitors to a contact section, quotation form, booking page, telephone number, email address, or any other destination.

* Place the button on the left or right side.
* Choose background and text colors.
* Set separate desktop and mobile text sizes.
* Adjust vertical position, corner radius, shadow, and z-index.
* Control desktop and mobile visibility independently.
* Preview changes directly in the WordPress administration area.
* Automatically migrate settings from version 1.0.0.
