Install on WordPress
Add the EasyChatWidget chat bubble to your WordPress site in a couple of minutes. The easiest way is a free plugin, no theme code required.
Method 1 - Free plugin (recommended)
- 1Install a “header & footer scripts” pluginFrom Plugins → Add New, search for WPCode (or “Insert Headers and Footers”), then install and activate it.
- 2Open the footer scripts areaGo to Code Snippets → Header & Footer (WPCode), or Settings → Insert Headers and Footers.
- 3Paste your snippet into the Footer boxCopy your embed code from the EasyChatWidget dashboard and paste it into the Footer (body) field:
<script
async
src="https://easychatwidget.com/widget.js"
data-widget-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"
></script>- 1SaveClick Save Changes. The widget now loads on every page of your site.
Method 2 - Theme footer (advanced)
If you prefer editing theme files, add the snippet before </body> in your theme's footer.php (Appearance → Theme File Editor).
Heads up
Always use a child theme when editing theme files, otherwise your changes are wiped the next time the theme updates. A plugin (Method 1) avoids this entirely.
