Minimum versions can change; verify the current official product page or plugin/theme metadata before production deployment. Do not bypass an activation or compatibility warning without identifying its cause. ## Requirements and dependencies - **-**A supported WordPress site. - **-**An active WhatsApp number for each agent in international format. - **-**A privacy notice explaining the transition to WhatsApp. - **-**Optional WooCommerce only for product/store buttons. ## Pre-installation checks - **-**Back up and identify any existing chat widgets or WhatsApp scripts. - **-**Confirm agent ownership, working hours, display pages, and response process. - **-**Plan mobile placement around other floating interface elements. # Installation 1. 1. Go to [Plugins](https://nippylaunch.com/mp-files/whatsapp-chat-wordpress-pro.zip/)> Add New [Plugin](https://nippylaunch.com/mp-files/whatsapp-chat-wordpress-pro.zip/)> Upload Plugin. 2. 2. [Upload the NinjaTeam WhatsApp Chat](https://nippylaunch.com/mp-files/whatsapp-chat-wordpress-pro.zip/) ZIP, install, and activate it. 3. 3. Open the plugin settings and add the first account/agent. 4. 4. Enter the number with country code and configure display name, role, avatar, and working hours. 5. 5. Enable the widget only on a test page until its appearance and behavior are verified. # License Activation 1. 1. If the product asks for a valid license or purchase code, enter it only in the official NinjaTeam interface and confirm update access. (First, check whether the Pro version is already active, as manual license entry may not be required.) 2. 2. The [Nippy Launch](https://nippylaunch.com/encyclopedia/nippy-launch/) ZIP does not by itself guarantee a NinjaTeam account, automatic updates, or vendor support. **Important.**A premium download does not automatically establish ownership of the original developer's account, license key, automatic-update service, cloud features, or direct support. Use only [Credentials](https://nippylaunch.com/encyclopedia/credentials/) that are valid for this site and were supplied through an authorized account or an explicit [Nippy Launch](https://nippylaunch.com/encyclopedia/nippy-launch/) entitlement. # Initial Setup 1. 1. Configure widget position, color, greeting, call-to-action, device visibility, and page rules. 2. 2. Add agents and schedules. 3. 3. Create a shortcode/button when a page-specific action is preferable to a global widget. 4. 4. Configure WooCommerce buttons only after the standard product page works. 5. 5. Test WhatsApp mobile app and WhatsApp Web. # Recommended Configuration - **-**Use complete international numbers without unsupported punctuation. - **-**Set realistic availability and offline messaging. - **-**Keep prefilled messages short and avoid sending sensitive data in URL parameters. - **-**Limit the widget to pages where live conversation supports the visitor's task. - **-**Avoid duplicating events in GA4 and Google Tag Manager. # Main Features The installed edition can provide the following primary capabilities. Availability may depend on the active plan, add-ons, and current release. - **-**Multi-agent WhatsApp widget - **-**Working hours and availability - **-**Floating and shortcode/button entry points - **-**WooCommerce chat buttons - **-**Responsive, multilingual, and RTL presentation # How to Use It **Practical starting workflow.**Add sales and support agents with different schedules, place a shortcode button on one landing page, and enable the global widget on product pages. Test routing, message text, offline behavior, and analytics from a phone and a desktop. # Integrations - **-**WooCommerce - **-**Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager event tracking - **-**Translation plugins and RTL layouts - **-**Common page builders through shortcode or widget placement Enable an integration only after its account ownership, permissions, data flow, and failure behavior have been tested. Keep secret [Credentials](https://nippylaunch.com/encyclopedia/credentials/) out of page content and screenshots. # Common Issues & Troubleshooting - **- Wrong number opens.**Check country code, agent assignment, cache, and page-specific settings. - **- Widget overlaps another control.**Change position/offset or disable one floating element on the affected breakpoint. - **- Agent always appears offline.**Review WordPress timezone, agent schedule, and cache. - **- WhatsApp Web does not open.**Test the generated URL directly and verify browser/device handling. - **- GA4 records duplicate clicks.**Keep one event implementation and remove duplicate GTM or custom scripts. If the problem persists, reproduce it on staging, capture the exact error and relevant logs, and compare the behavior with nonessential plugins temporarily disabled. Restore the production site rather than troubleshooting destructively in place. # Updating the Plugin or Resource 1. 1. Back up, review the changelog, and update on staging. 2. 2. Retest all agent numbers, schedules, mobile layout, shortcodes, product buttons, and analytics events. 3. 3. Clear caches after visual or routing changes. - **-**Confirm that the backup completed and can be accessed independently of WordPress. - **-**Review the official changelog and compatibility notes. - **-**Update during a low-risk window and keep a tested rollback path. - **-**Clear relevant caches and perform the product-specific functional tests listed above. # Uninstallation 1. 1. Record agent and display configuration. 2. 2. Remove shortcodes/buttons from content and tracking rules if the plugin is retired. 3. 3. Deactivate, purge caches, and then delete after confirming no live page promises WhatsApp support. Deactivation and deletion are not the same as data removal. Confirm the product's current cleanup options, [Database](https://nippylaunch.com/encyclopedia/database/) tables, uploaded files, remote data, connected accounts, and continuing external billing or scheduled actions before removal. # Security & Best Practices - **-**Review agent numbers when staff changes. - **-**Avoid sensitive data in prefilled URLs. - **-**Use least-privilege access. - **-**Publish privacy and response expectations. - **-**Use unique administrator accounts, least-privilege roles, HTTPS, and multi-factor authentication where supported. - **-**Keep the resource, WordPress, PHP, theme, and dependencies on supported versions. - **-**Store backups and recovery instructions outside the WordPress site. # Final Checklist - ✅The correct resource and developer identity were confirmed. - ✅A restorable backup was created before installation or major configuration. - ✅All required core plugins, themes, services, and accounts are active. - ✅The resource is installed and activated without WordPress or PHP errors. - ✅A valid developer license is connected when one is required and available. - ✅The product-specific initial and recommended settings are complete. - ✅The practical workflow was tested as an administrator and as the intended visitor/customer/member. - ✅Email, payments, webhooks, cron, cache, and integrations were tested where applicable. - ✅Security, privacy, consent, data retention, and access rules were reviewed. - ✅The update and rollback process is documented and owned by a named administrator.
