Bisteinoff Global Contact Manager

You can use shortcodes for phone number, WhatsApp, Telegram, e-mail and address, and insert them where needed. If once you need to change them, they will be changed automatically everywhere, where you had inserted them using the shortcodes.

Yes, you can add as many contacts as you need. For the 2nd contact of the same type and further, a number will be added automatically. For example, [bisteinoff_phone2] or [bisteinoff_phone2_link]. You do not have to worry about the way how the shortcodes are formed. You will find them on the Settings page where you add the contacts.

Yes, you should use the corresponding shortcode with _link suffix. You will easily understand which one. To the right of each shortcode on the settings page you will see an example of how it will appear on your pages.

For regular users: Nothing changes! The plugin will automatically migrate all your settings. All your existing shortcodes continue to work exactly as before. For developers with custom integrations: Version 3.0 introduces a complete code refactoring with modern PHP classes and namespaces. If you have custom code that references this plugin's classes or methods, please review the migration information below.

If you have custom code that integrates with this plugin, please note these changes: Checking for deprecation notices: All deprecated elements will trigger _doing_it_wrong() notices when WP_DEBUG is enabled: define('WP_DEBUG', true); Recommended shortcode format:

• New format: [bisteinoff_phone], [bisteinoff_email_link], [bisteinoff_whatsapp2_href]
• Old format (still works): [db-phone], [db-email-link], [db-whatsapp2-href] Note: We recommend updating to the new format. Legacy shortcodes will continue to work at least until February 16, 2027.

• Old: Multiple separate options (db_settings_phone_0, db_settings_email_0, etc.)
• New: Single option bisteinoff_plugin_contact_data with structured array Note: Options are migrated automatically. Old option names are removed from the database after successful migration.

• DB_WEBSITE_SETTINGS_PLUGIN_VERSION → BISTEINOFF_PLUGIN_CONTACT_VERSION Note: Old constant remains defined for backward compatibility.

• DB_SETTINGS_WebsiteSettings → Use \Bisteinoff\Plugin\ContactSettings\Loader instead New namespace:
• All classes now use namespace \Bisteinoff\Plugin\ContactSettings Action required: If you have custom code, update it to use the new naming conventions. All deprecated elements may be removed in further versions after Feb 16th, 2027.
