2) Both sites with WordPress and WooCommerce fully updated, PHP 8.3. The site on the left (which does not show the Layout panel) has Social Chat the latest 8.1.6 version and the site on the right (which does show it) has Social Chat 8.1.3 (I’m not confortable to update yet, if it means i’ll lose access to control the layout)
The layout options were not removed. We’ve reorganized the settings UI and moved all design-related options (layout, position, styles) into the Customize tab.
So in 8.1.6, the functionality is still there, just in a different place. Updating will not remove your ability to control the button layout.
By the way, I’d also like to invite you to join the founder users program of a new SaaS we’re launching. It will allow deploying bots both on the web and on WhatsApp.
If that sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach out to me via linkedin and I’ll be happy to share more details.
