Add quick-access buttons so visitors can verify a Punjab driving license, track an application, or apply for an e-License on the official DLIMS portal.

== Description ==

**TrafficSignsTest Driving License Helper** is a lightweight WordPress plugin that displays three simple, clearly labeled buttons on any page or post:

* **Verify License** – sends the visitor to the official Verify License page on the Punjab Driving License Information Management System (DLIMS).
* **Track Application** – sends the visitor to the official Track Application page so they can check their application status.
* **e-License** – sends the visitor to the official e-License page to apply for a learner, regular, or international driving license.

The plugin does not collect, store, or process any personal data, CNIC numbers, or license details. It is purely a navigation helper: every button takes the visitor straight to the relevant page on the official Government of Punjab DLIMS website (dlims.punjab.gov.pk), where the actual verification, tracking, and application steps take place.

This is useful for blogs, informational sites, and resource pages that write about driving licenses, traffic rules, or DLIMS in Punjab and want to give readers a fast, reliable way to reach the correct official page instead of searching for it themselves.

**Features**

* One simple shortcode: `[pdls_license_services]`
* Toggle each of the three cards on or off from the settings page
* Customize the heading and intro text shown above the buttons
* Choose whether links open in the same tab or a new tab
* Set a custom button color to match your theme
* Clean, responsive card layout that adapts to mobile screens
* No tracking, no external scripts, no data collection

**Disclaimer**

This plugin is an independent, unofficial tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Government of Punjab, the Driving License Information Management System (DLIMS), or the Dastak program. All license verification, tracking, and application processing happens entirely on the official dlims.punjab.gov.pk website; this plugin only provides convenient links to it.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it directly through the **Plugins → Add New** screen in your WordPress admin.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
3. Go to **Settings → License Services** to customize the heading, intro text, and which cards are shown.
4. Add the shortcode `[pdls_license_services]` to any page or post where you want the buttons to appear.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

No. The plugin only links to the official DLIMS pages for verification, tracking, and e-License applications. All processing happens on the government website.
