Install Social Intents on WordPress using the official plugin or by adding the JavaScript snippet directly to your theme.
Option 1: WordPress Plugin
The easiest way to install Social Intents is with the official Live Chat by Social Intents plugin from the WordPress plugin directory. You can install it directly from within WordPress or download it from WordPress.org.
Install the Plugin
In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for "Live Chat by Social Intents". Click Install Now, then Activate.
Enter Your Widget ID
Go to Settings > Social Intents. Enter your Widget ID (found in your Social Intents dashboard under My Widgets > Install Code tab) as the API key.
Save
Click Save Changes. The chat widget will appear on all pages of your WordPress site.
Option 2: Manual Code Snippet
If you prefer not to use the plugin, add the JavaScript snippet directly to your theme:
- Go to Appearance > Theme Editor (or Theme File Editor)
- Open
footer.phpor your theme's footer template - Paste the embed code before
</body>:
<script src="https://www.socialintents.com/api/chat/socialintents.1.4.js#YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async="async"></script>Alternatively, use a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers" to add the code without editing theme files.
WordPress Block Themes
For block themes (Full Site Editing), use the Custom HTML block in the footer template part, or add the script via a code snippets plugin.
