Lumen patterns, menu and content tools, global WhatsApp, and editable footer text for websites built with Lumen Theme.

== Description ==

Lumen Lite by CreceWeb adds practical tools to websites built with Lumen Theme 1.4.91 or later.

* Insert ten ready-made sections from the visual Lumen Library inside the WordPress block editor.
* Configure an optional global WhatsApp button with position, colors, size, message, and device visibility.
* Customize the footer text with the safe `{year}` and `{site_name}` variables.
* Highlight any menu links, including submenu links, as optional buttons.
* Choose desktop, tablet, and mobile visibility independently for menu links.
* Optionally show estimated reading time on individual posts and supported blog/listing views.
* Optionally set the visible word length of excerpts without changing saved content.
* Manage the tools from the existing Lumen Theme screen.

Lumen Lite does not include telemetry, a private updater, or background requests to CreceWeb services.

= Theme requirement =

Lumen Lite is designed specifically for Lumen Theme. When a compatible version of the Theme is not active, Theme-dependent modules remain inactive and WordPress displays a compatibility notice instead of producing a fatal error.

= Bundled visual assets =

All images and visual previews included with Lumen Lite were created specifically for CreceWeb and are distributed under the GPLv2-or-later license together with the plugin. The Library previews are renderings of the plugin's own Gutenberg patterns and use English sample text.

= Privacy and WhatsApp service =

Lumen Lite does not send telemetry or contact external services in the background. The optional WhatsApp button uses WhatsApp's Click to Chat service. Only when a visitor clicks the enabled button does the browser send the phone number and optional message configured by the site administrator to WhatsApp through `wa.me`.
