Adding a “Text Us” Button
The TextingOnly WordPress Plugin:
Replace Forms with
Click-to-Text
The TextingOnly WordPress plugin adds a SmartLink-powered “Text Us” button and widget to any WordPress site — turning every page visitor into a potential SMS contact without writing a single line of code. The free tier is available to all WordPress users.
The WordPress plugin is the fastest path from “I want to add SMS to my website” to “it’s live.” Install, connect your TextingOnly account, and your SmartLink button is live site-wide in under 10 minutes.

Inline Button Shortcodes
Beyond the floating button, the plugin provides shortcodes for adding inline click-to-text buttons inside page content, blog posts, or sidebars. Use [textingonly_button] in any page or post editor to insert a “Text Us” button at that location.
Use the floating button for site-wide visibility. Add inline buttons on high-intent pages — contact page, service pages, pricing page — where visitors are actively considering reaching out. Both point to the same SmartLink and feed the same OTTO collector.
Why the QR bridge matters for your desktop visitors — and how the plugin handles both mobile and desktop automatically.
