Check the saved configuration

  1. Confirm Floaty is active in WordPress.
  2. Enable at least one channel and enter its required contact detail.
  3. Save Changes and test an allowed page while signed out.
  4. Review desktop/mobile visibility, included or excluded page IDs and logged-in-only mode.
  5. Review the WordPress timezone, enabled days and current business-hour window.

Clear full-page, CDN and browser caches after changing these settings. A cached page can retain an earlier visibility decision.

Check the theme and page

Your theme must run WordPress's wp_footer hook. Use staging to compare a normal theme page with a custom landing-page template. Check whether an overlay covers Floaty; review position, offsets and Z-index against the actual conflicting element.

If scripts or styles fail, inspect the browser's public console/network messages without sharing authenticated cookies or private configuration. Temporarily compare optimisation/minification settings on staging to locate a conflict.

Keep a normal contact link available during investigation. When requesting help, include Floaty, WordPress and PHP versions, the affected public URL, device/viewport, relevant display rules and a screenshot. Do not send WordPress passwords or hosting credentials.
