Button Generator – Easily Create Custom Buttons with Icons and Analytics

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

With 5,000 active installs against category leaders at 200,000 or 700,000, this plugin has real traction but is still a small player in a crowded space.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated in May 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0, the maintenance signal is excellent and suggests an actively maintained codebase.

User Rating

13/15

An 86 out of 100 from 18 ratings is a strong average, but the small sample size means you should treat it as indicative rather than conclusive.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is a neutral data point: either the plugin rarely breaks, or users are not engaging the support channel and heading elsewhere instead.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Full marks for requiring only PHP 7.4 and WordPress 5.5, plus testing against the 7.0 release, means it will run on virtually any modern WordPress host.

What It Does

Button Generator lets you create custom buttons that can be placed inline in content or floated over your site, with options for icons, click tracking, and conditional display rules based on page or visitor targeting. It is positioned as a general-purpose button builder with built-in analytics, rather than a single-purpose tool like click-to-call.

Who It's For

This plugin fits small to mid-sized WordPress sites that want a single button solution covering multiple needs, such as a service business running phone consultations, a SaaS company collecting contact requests, or a nonprofit adding donation prompts. It is a reasonable pick if you want both inline and floating buttons managed from one place and care about seeing click data.

Who Should Skip It

If you only need a click-to-call button, Call Now Button or WP Call Button are simpler, more proven options with far larger install bases. If you need WhatsApp chat, a sticky navigation header, or a full multi-channel chat widget, the alternatives below cover those use cases better and more cheaply over time.

The Bottom Line

Button Generator scores 76.97 out of 100 and earns it mostly through strong maintenance and compatibility signals rather than community size or support volume. It is a credible all-in-one button tool with analytics, but if your needs are narrow, the category leaders have larger user bases and more proven track records. Worth trying on a staging site first, and worth keeping only if its targeting and analytics features actually earn their keep for you.

Pick this if your calls to action are primarily WhatsApp conversations and you want a battle-tested plugin with 700,000 installs behind it.

Call Now Button – The #1 Click to Call Button for WordPress 86/100

Choose this if phone calls are your only button goal and you want the most established dedicated click-to-call plugin available.

Sticky Menu & Sticky Header 84/100

Pick this when you need elements to stick on scroll, such as headers, menus, or widgets, rather than button creation.

Buttonizer – Live Chat, AI Chatbot, Call, Chat, Contact Button 84/100

Choose this if you want a multi-channel floating widget with chat, AI bots, and social channels bundled into one tool.

WP Call Button – Easy Click to Call Button for WordPress 82/100

Pick this for a free, focused click-to-call solution with strong install numbers if Button Generator's extra features are overkill.
