Where can I get support?

Use the WordPress.org support forum or the Help page on GrandSlambert.com.
-
How do I use the shortcode?
-
Use
[business-block]with optional attributes. Omitted attributes use the settings defaults.Example:
[business-block name="Acme Inc." address_1="123 Main St" city="Springfield" state="IL" zip="62701" url="https://example.com" contact_page="hello@example.com" template="two-column.php"]Phone numbers link with
tel:for click-to-call. A bare email incontact_pageis stored and output asmailto:automatically.Supported attributes:
title,name,address_1,address_2,city,state,zip,url,contact_page,phone_type_1,phone_1,phone_type_2,phone_2,phone_type_3,phone_3,template(one-column.php,two-column.php, orcompact.php),target,link_title,show_maps_link,maps_address_icon(location,map, ordirections),maps_address_icon_position(beforeorafter),phone_icon_1,phone_icon_2,phone_icon_3(phone,mobile, orcall; legacyphone_iconapplies to all lines when a per-line icon is empty),phone_icon_position,contact_icon(emailorenvelope),contact_icon_position,web_icon(globe,link, orexternal),web_icon_position. -
Does Elementor include a widget?
-
Yes. When Elementor is active, use Business Block under the Business Block Widget category. The native Elementor widget includes content and style controls, optional compact layout, maps link, and dynamic tags that read Settings Business Block Widget defaults. The classic WordPress widget is hidden inside Elementor so you use the styled widget instead.
-
Where is business data stored?
-
Each classic widget instance stores its own fields in widget settings. The shortcode and Elementor widget store values in the post or layout where you place them.

Ŝanĝprotokolo
2.0.0 – October 21st, 2026
- Plugin header, readme, and license meet current WordPress.org requirements (GPL-2.0-or-later, Requires PHP 7.4, Tested up to 7.1, text domain business-block-widget).
- PHP 8 compatible: modern constructor, no create_function, no removed ereg APIs.
- Settings and widget instances are sanitized; front-end output is escaped. Template files are allow-listed.
- Removed the remote contributors feed from the settings screen.
- Fixed legacy template bugs (wrong variables for address, URL, and link targets).
- Widget title is optional; the business name always displays in the business name area (not as a title fallback).
- Added
[business-block]shortcode and Elementor Business Block widget with style controls. - Default business information on the settings screen pre-fills new widgets, shortcodes, and Elementor blocks.
- Phone numbers use
tel:links; bare contact emails usemailto:automatically. - Optional linked address opens Google Maps directions (global default and per-widget, shortcode, or Elementor control) with a preset or Elementor icon before or after the address.
- Optional icons before or after phone links (one icon per phone line), the contact/email link, and the website link (settings defaults, classic widget, shortcode presets, or Elementor inline icon controls). Phone type labels hide when that line has an icon.
- Compact layout template: one address line with inline phone, contact, and web actions.
- Elementor address alignment and hover styling for plain or linked addresses; multi-line address icons stay beside the text and vertically centered.
- Elementor dynamic tags Business Block Default and Business Block Default URL for site-wide default fields.
