The only thing you need is registered users who can chat with each other. Just get people registered with your website and this plugin does the rest. Users need to login to the site and then only they can chat with each other.
There is lot more to come
I am working on making this plugin better and will keep it updated and will improve further. Currently this plugin is tested with the latest version of wordpress and it is working perfectly.
The chat which will be done between the users will not be available the next time. This means that once the chat box will be closed the chat session finishes. New chat session wont have the previous chat messages available next time.
