Fix Footer Links not working with Whatschat Widget

Written by Dan Mossop

Whatschat.co offer a handy widget for adding a WhatsApp click to call button to the bottom right of your web pages. However, you might find that your Divi Theme's footer links stop working after installing it. Here's how to fix that.

The problem is that the whatschat widget adds a 300px wide transparent iframe in the corner of the page. This iframe covers a portion of the Divi footer, blocking users from clicking on the links in that part of the footer (e.g. the social icons).

As far as I can tell, the widget never actually uses the full 300px area it allocates for itself. So to get the footer links working again, we can just decrease the size of the widget's iframe, using the following CSS:

#wh-widget-send-button-iframe {
   max-width: 75px;
}
