Frequently asked questions

I don’t allow registration on my WordPress site, can I still use the chat room?

Yes. If you don’t have registration enabled on your WordPress site, your users can register an account directly on the chat room. If you want users to be able to chat without registering, you can simply enable guest access on the chat room or you can disable the User Accounts feature entirely so users don’t even see the registration option.

What features are available?

The key features are listed here.

Is this a self-hosted chat room?

You install the plugin on your WordPress website, and the chat room is hosted by us at Website Toolbox. As your chat room grows, you won’t have to worry about buying and maintaining overloaded servers, databases, software, backup solutions, etc. We do all the work, so you can reap all the rewards. Our WordPress plugin also allows you to easily embed the chat room into a page of your WordPress website. This makes Website Toolbox completely invisible to your users!
