Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Chat for WebIRC
The plugin works with any IRC server that supports WebSocket connections. By default, it includes: * irc.livefreeonline.club:7443 - An IRC server contributed by our team for testing purposes
Yes, the plugin implements several security measures: * Server allow-list to prevent connections to unauthorized servers * Input sanitization and validation * Proper escaping of all output * Optional Content Security Policy headers * WSS (secure WebSocket connections) only
Yes, you can add your own IRC server to the allowed servers list in the plugin settings. The server must support WebSocket connections and be accessible via WSS (secure WebSockets).
The current version is designed for public IRC servers. For private networks that require extra authentication, we will add support for them in future versions.
The IRC server must have an SSL certificate for WSS (WebSockets Secure) connections to work. Your WordPress website doesn't strictly require SSL, but it's highly recommended: IRC server: SSL certificate required (mandatory for WSS connections) WordPress site: SSL recommended but not mandatory for basic functionality For security reasons, the plugin only supports secure WSS connections and does not support unencrypted WebSocket connections.
The shortcode supports: * server: IRC server (host:port, must be in allowed servers list) * channel: Channel name (with # prefix) Example: [chat_webirc server="irc.livefreeonline.club:7443" channel="#help"]
The client supports 30+ comprehensive IRC slash commands organized by category: Basic Commands: * /join #channel - Join a channel * /part [#channel] or /leave [#channel] - Leave current/specified channel * /nick newname - Change nickname * /quit [message] - Disconnect from server Communication: * /msg <nick> <message> or /privmsg <nick> <message> - Send private message * /notice <target> <message> - Send notice message (less intrusive) * /me <action> - Send action message * /query <nick> - Open private chat context User Information: * /whois <nick> - Get detailed user information * /who [channel] - List users in channel * /userhost <nick> [nick2]... - Get user host information * /ison <nick> [nick2]... - Check if users are online * /finger <nick> - Send FINGER request Channel Information: * /list [pattern] - List available channels * /names [channel] - List nicknames in channel * /topic [text] - View or set channel topic Server Information: * /motd [server] - View message of the day * /admin [server] - View server admin info * /info [server] - View server information * /stats <query> [server] - View server statistics * /links [mask] - List server links * /lusers [mask] - List user statistics * /time [server] - Get server time * /version [nick] - Get version info Status & Utility: * /away [message] - Set away status * /back - Remove away status * /ping <nick> - Ping user Advanced: * /ctcp <nick> <command> - Send CTCP command (VERSION, TIME, PING, FINGER) * /raw <IRC command> - Send raw IRC command (if enabled by admin) Help: * /help - Show complete command reference with usage examples All commands include proper error handling and usage instructions when used incorrectly.
