Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records VW Floating Chat version 1.2.0 as active, updated 10mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
VW Floating Chat adds a lightweight, accessible contact launcher to any WordPress site. Offer visitors a curated collection of chat and social links inside a draggable widget that sits on the left or right edge of the screen—similar to Chaty—without sacrificing performance or privacy.
Highlights
Choose the default side (left or right) and fine-tune the widget offsets.
Allow visitors to drag the widget anywhere; positions are stored in localStorage per browser.
Toggle more than twenty contact and social channels with custom labels and destinations.
Present official icons on the front-end with adjustable desktop and mobile sizing + spacing.
Optional contextual tooltips and subtle attention effects keep the UI accessible yet lively.
Enjoy a compact, card-based settings screen that keeps desktop and mobile controls side by side.
Clean front-end CSS and vanilla JS with no external dependencies.
Built following WordPress.org security, i18n, and accessibility guidelines.
Privacy
VW Floating Chat does not send any data to external servers. If you enable WhatsApp, email, or call options, ensure your site’s privacy policy discloses that clicking those buttons opens third-party services (WhatsApp, email client, phone dialer). Drag positions are saved in the visitor’s browser using localStorage and can be cleared by removing browser data.
