How do I add the chat widget to my WordPress site?

The accepted answer

Here's how to add the DeskCrew chat widget to your WordPress site, step by step: Step 1: Get your embed snippet - Go to Dashboard -> Install - Under "Embed snippet" you'll find your unique script tag. It looks like this: <script src="https://deskcrew.io/desk.js" data-key="pub_YOUR_KEY" data-board="your-workspace-slug"></script> - Copy the entire script tag Step 2: Add it to WordPress (choose one method) Method A - WPCode plugin (recommended): 1. Install the free "WPCode" plugin from Plugins -> Add New 2. Go to Code Snippets -> Header & Footer 3. Paste the DeskCrew script tag into the "Footer" box 4. Click Save Changes Method B - Theme file: 1. Go to Appearance -> Theme File Editor 2. Open footer.php 3. Paste the script tag just before the closing </body> tag 4. Click Update File Method C - Insert Headers and Footers plugin: 1. Install the "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin 2. Go to Settings -> Insert Headers and Footers 3. Paste the script into the "Scripts in Footer" section 4. Save Step 3: Configure Allowed Origins (important) - Go back to Dashboard -> Install -> Allowed Origins - Add your site's full URL (for example https://yoursite.com) - Without this step the widget won't send messages. This is the number one reason a widget doesn't appear. Step 4: Verify - Visit your site in an incognito/private window - You should see the chat bubble in the bottom-right corner - Send a test message to confirm it reaches your DeskCrew dashboard Troubleshooting: - Widget not appearing? Double-check Allowed Origins. Your site URL must match exactly. - Messages not sending? The widget key might be wrong, or Allowed Origins isn't set. - Using a caching plugin? Clear your cache after adding the snippet. You'll find more detail in the knowledge base articles "The DeskCrew Install page, setting by setting" and "Why your widget isn't appearing: allowed origins".
