Adds customizable Call Now and Google Maps Directions buttons for mobile visitors.

== Description ==

Mobile Call Now & Map Buttons adds a sticky mobile contact bar with optional Call Now and Directions buttons. It is useful for local businesses that want mobile visitors to call or open directions quickly.

= Features =

* Add a mobile Call Now button using a phone number.
* Add a Directions button using a street address or GPS coordinates.
* Add an optional Google Place ID for a more precise Google Maps destination.
* Customize bar background, button colors, and button text.
* Choose the maximum device width where the buttons appear.
* Optional z-index and append-to-body settings for theme compatibility.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/mobile-call-now-map-buttons` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings > Mobile Call Now & Map Buttons to configure the plugin.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How is the maps button created? =

The location is built with a Google Maps URL. Your entered location values are constructed using either the address fields or GPS coordinates. If you add a Google Place ID, the plugin appends it to the Maps URL to help Google identify the exact destination.

= What format should I use for GPS coordinates? =

Use decimal degrees format, such as `50.6745` for latitude and `-120.3273` for longitude. Do not enter degree symbols or N/E/S/W letters.

= Why are the buttons hiding my footer? =

This is usually a theme CSS conflict. Try adjusting the z-index setting or enable the append-to-body option.

= What does the number sanitizing option do? =

By default, the plugin cleans the phone number for safer and more consistent `tel:` links. Enable this option only if your phone number format must be preserved.
