CoreTech Contact Buttons, Chat, Calls & Tracking

1.2.49

• Added compact trend indicators to the Click Dashboard for WhatsApp, call, and total CTA clicks.
• Trend indicators compare the selected period with the previous matching period and show up/down/flat direction with a small bar comparison.

1.2.46

• Updated the wp-admin left sidebar label to CoreTech while keeping the public plugin name, slug, and text domain unchanged.

1.2.45

• Added a local settings backup copy used only to restore saved configuration if the primary option is missing.
• Preserved existing GA4 click settings during partial settings saves.

1.2.44

• Added tooltip initial delay and repeat pause controls to the free build.
• Wired tooltip timing controls into the frontend sequence through safe data attributes.

1.2.41

• Added local dashboard filters for all time, today, last 7 days, last 30 days, and this month.
• Stored only anonymous daily aggregate click buckets for the new filters.
• Aligned dashboard metric cards so click numbers sit consistently across cards.

1.2.40

• Sent optional GA4 click events on pointerdown before WhatsApp or phone navigation begins.
• Increased the navigation handoff delay so Google Tag Assistant has more time to display the configured event.
• Hardened click target detection for nested SVG/text clicks.

1.2.39

• Moved frontend configuration from inline localized JavaScript into widget data attributes for better CSP compatibility.
• Added a CSP-safe dataLayer command fallback only when the gtag helper function is unavailable.

1.2.38

• Restored automatic GA4 Measurement ID detection for sites that already load GA4 through another plugin or snippet.
• Kept optional click events on direct gtag send_to only, with no generic dataLayer fallback.

1.2.37

• Required a valid GA4 Measurement ID before frontend Google events can be emitted.
• Removed the generic dataLayer fallback so loose GTM or Google tag rules cannot duplicate plugin click events.
• Kept local dashboard click totals independent from optional Google event output.

1.2.36

• Moved frontend button click handling to window capture so stale document/body listeners from older cached builds cannot fire after this build.

1.2.35

• Added a GA4 Measurement ID field so custom click events can be pinned to one GA4 destination instead of Google tag fan-out.
• Improved automatic GA4 ID detection from dataLayer, gtag script URLs, and inline gtag config.
• Captured plugin button clicks before older cached plugin listeners can fire, preventing stale-script duplicate events.
• Made frontend buttons slightly smaller and tooltip bubbles wider.

1.2.34

• Added a frontend listener guard and per-click de-dupe so cached or repeated script execution cannot send duplicate plugin events.
• Scoped direct gtag events to the detected GA4 G- destination when available to avoid broadcasting the same event to multiple Google destinations.
• Tightened click targeting so each button click can only use its own configured event name.

1.2.33

• Sent enabled frontend click events through exactly one available route: gtag when present, otherwise dataLayer for GTM-only installs.
• Kept WhatsApp opening in a new window/tab after the click event is queued.
• Kept side tooltips lower beside the active button.

1.2.32

• Restored direct gtag event sending so Google Tag Assistant can detect the configured custom events again.
• Kept custom event sending to one route only to avoid plugin-side duplicate events.
• Lowered the side tooltip position so it appears beside the active button instead of above it.

1.2.31

• Sent one dataLayer event only per plugin click to avoid duplicate custom events.
• Forced WhatsApp navigation to open in a new window/tab after the tracking event is queued.
• Moved tooltip bubbles beside the buttons instead of directly above them.

1.2.30

• Reduced frontend GA4/GTM click sending to one channel per click to prevent duplicate custom events.

1.2.29

• Styled button icons as circular badges inside each button with stronger theme-safe colors.
• Added exact configured event names to each frontend button.

1.2.28

• Replaced text placeholders with real inline WhatsApp and call SVG icons.
• Improved frontend dataLayer tracking so Tag Assistant can detect enabled click events before navigation.
• Added safe rich tooltip formatting for bold, italic, underline, line breaks, and inline color/font-size styles.

1.2.27

• Rebuilt the final free archive as one exact-path package for the confirmed cPanel folder name.
• Packaged with WordPress-safe archive paths for cleaner activation and replacement.

1.2.26

• Updated the Plugins screen premium link to the Core Plugin Tech bundle page.

1.2.24

• Added safe local migration for WhatsApp and call numbers from older cPanel installs so frontend buttons keep showing after replacement.

1.2.23

• Hardened the internal free build class and constants to avoid activation collisions with older separately installed copies.

1.2.22

• Split optional dataLayer event names into separate WhatsApp and call events.

1.2.21

1.2.17

1.2.16

• Added a high-version replacement build for sites still installed under the previous cPanel folder name.
