سوالات متداول

Does this require WebSockets or Node.js?

No. The free version runs on regular shared hosting and uses REST APIs.

Can it handle multiple chats at the same time?

Yes. Multiple conversations can be handled concurrently from the admin interface.

Is there a Pro version?

This plugin is using REST APIs that will make it work as it is on any shared hosting. Optionally, a Pro edition using WebSokets may be available separately on the authors page and can require a server capable of running Node.js and WebSockets.

Does this plugin collect personal data?

Yes. The plugin collects an email address provided by visitors in order to enable communication with the site administrator. This data is stored on the site and is not sent to third-party services by the free version.

How long are conversations stored?

Conversations may be automatically closed after 30 days of age. Closed conversations and related data may be removed after 60 days to reduce database size.

Where can I get support?

Support for the free version is provided via the WordPress.org support forums.
