Shortcode Builder for the Live Chat Button

Visual admin tool that configures the Live Chat Button shortcode without code. Pick a target post, choose how the chat user is resolved (post author, postmeta key, or fixed inbox), tune label / colors / padding / icon, copy the resulting shortcode anywhere.

Drop the shortcode onto any custom post type — a directory, a marketplace listing, an agent profile — and it auto-resolves to the right target user, the right per-post thread, and shows the post as a banner inside the conversation. No PHP, no template overrides.

The shortcode supports magic-token attributes that resolve against the current post: user_id="post_author", user_id="postmeta:_vendor_user_id", unique_tag="auto", text="auto", object_id="auto" — plus placeholder tokens like {author_name} and {post_title} in the label and subject.

A generic thread information banner is now built into the plugin. When object_id is set, the conversation shows the post title, thumbnail, and link at the top of the thread. Previously this required a dedicated integration (WooCommerce, WP Job Manager, Houzez); now any CPT gets it with no extra code.

The Button style block in the builder includes color pickers, numeric font-size / padding / border-radius inputs, and an inline SVG icon picker — every visual aspect is configurable without writing CSS.
