What Is OceanWP Footer Callout Addon?
OceanWP Footer Callout Addon is developed by OceanWP and is a design plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the design category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for theme customization and site aesthetics.
The plugin solves the problem of underutilized footer space by adding a prominent message area with customizable buttons. It is for site owners who need to promote newsletters, contact pages, or special offers without cluttering the main content area.
OceanWP Footer Callout Addon Features
The feature set is built around providing granular control over the call-to-action area at both a global and per-page level.
Display and Visibility Controls
Footer Callout allows you to display or hide the callout section on any specific page or post. Users can manage these settings directly within the WordPress meta boxes, ensuring that promotional messages only appear where they are relevant. This is particularly useful for conversion-focused landing pages where a global footer might be distracting.
Content and Button Customization
The plugin enables you to edit the content and button URL on a per-page basis. You can choose to display standard text or pull in existing page content to appear within the callout area. The button can be enabled or disabled depending on the goal of the callout, and custom classes can be added to trigger modal windows or specific tracking events.
Styling and Typography
Users have full control over the visual presentation, including custom padding for the top and bottom of the section. The plugin includes typography fields for both the main text and the button, allowing it to match your brand style. You can also define custom background and text colors directly within the WordPress Customizer settings.
