Description

The WordPress Chat adds a real-time messaging hub to the WordPress dashboard, installing a floating chat window on the front-end and a support screen in the admin to respond to visitors without relying on an external service. Built for those who need direct support through the site, it serves blogs, communities, and service pages that want to chat with visitors without redirecting to WhatsApp, Messenger, or third-party helpdesk platforms.
