How do I provide my script?
Enter the base URL of your live chat script (e.g., https://hello.test.smartpbx.cn) and your channel number (e.g., LC00001). The plugin generates the correct tag automatically and inserts it into the footer.
Can I select specific pages for the script?
Yes. Choose “Only Selected Pages” in the settings and select the pages where the script should appear.
Does this follow WordPress best practices?
