Verifying

Visit your WordPress site and check that:

  • The chat bubble appears in the bottom corner
  • Clicking it opens the chat widget
  • You can send and receive messages

Troubleshooting

  • Widget not showing? Clear your WordPress cache (and any CDN cache)
  • Caching plugins interfering? Add the April script URL to your cache plugin's exclusion list
  • Child theme? Make sure you're editing the correct theme's footer file
