Easy to use and works great
Great plugin! Easy to set up and works straight away. Having the chat inbox inside WordPress makes it super easy to reply to messages and manage chats. I also really like that everything stays private on your own website, without needing third-party services or monthly fees. A simple, lightweight, and privacy-friendly chat solution
