CreceWeb Lumen Lite

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.
