How to add WhatsApp Button to listings

There are several modules that display WhatsApp Button on listings such as STM Dealer Info (widget), STM Car Dealer Info, Social Buttons (WhatsApp).

STM Dealer Info (widget)

The default template takes the sidebar from Appearance > Widgets. There is an STM Listing Car Sidebar block there. Add the STM Dealer Info widget to the sidebar and enable the WhatsApp button.

Motors loads the default template when WPBakery Page Builder is not being used.

STM Car Dealer Info

STM Car Dealer Info element can be added through the WPBakery Page Builder.

Go to Listings and choose any listing to which you want to add STM Car Dealer Info. Click on the 'Plus' (+) icon, on the popup window find 'STM Car Dealer Info' element or use the Search bar to find it more quickly.

After you click on the 'STM Car Dealer Info' element, a new popup window will appear. Tick the 'Yes' box under 'Show WhatsApp Button' and save the changes.
