Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Wise Chat

Place the following short code in your page or post: [wise-chat channel="My Chat Room"] or add this PHP snippet in a template file: or put "Wise Chat Window" widget on the desired sidebar and set the desired channel name in Channel field. The channel will be created during the first usage and it will be added to the list of channels on Wise Chat Settings page in the Channels tab.

It means that the chat cannot start due to some errors. First, please try to check JS Console (in Chrome of Firefox) in search for any error message. Then please try to fix them. If an error comes from Wise Chat then please let us know it. We will do our best to help you. Otherwise please contact the support of other plugins / themes that you suspect are causing issues. After fixing all errors in the JS Console the chat should start properly. If you do not see any errors in the console then please try to disable any security plugin you use. They may be blocking the connection between the chat and your server. After finding a plugin that is blocking the chat try to add an exception to it. Basically, security plugins should avoid this particular URL: https://yourdomain/wp-content/plugins/wise-chat/src/endpoints You may also read this doc.

Short answer: WP Dashboard > Security > Settings > Advanced > System Tweaks and uncheck "Disable PHP in Plugins". Then click Save button. Advanced answer: Edit .htaccess file and locate "#Disable PHP in Plugins - Security > Settings > System Tweaks > PHP in Plugins" line. Then add a line of code: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/wp-content/plugins/wise-chat/.*$ [NC] RewriteRule ^wp-content/plugins/.*.(?:php[1-7]?|pht|phtml?|phps).?$ - [NC,F,L] Less recommended approach: WP Dashboard -> Settings -> Wise Chat Settings -> AJAX Engine and set to Default. This solution is less efficient. Explanation: Wise Chat executes PHP files directly in /wp-content/plugins/wise-chat/src/endpoints/ultra directory. It is done strictly for performance because the standard admin-ajax.php endpoint is too slow.

Please add 'manage_wise_chat_option' capability to any user role you wish to grant access to Wise Chat Settings page to. By default only administrators have access to this page.

In order to get new messages the chat is requesting the following URL: https://yourdomain/wp-content/plugins/wise-chat/src/endpoints It is very likely the URL is is forbidden in your setup (403 error). It may be caused by a security plugin or theme. A specific configuration of HTTP server (.htaccess file or server settings) may be the reason too. Please ask your server administrator to make the URL accessible. You may also read this doc.

First, create a regular channel (see the previous question) and then go to Settings -> Wise Chat Settings page, select Channels tab. In the right to the chosen channel click "Password" link and a form will appear below. Specify the password and confirm it by clicking "Set Password" button. From now the channel is secured and only users that enter valid password are allowed to join.

Go to Settings -> Wise Chat Settings page, select Channels tab. In the right to the chosen channel click "Password" link and a form will appear below. Click "Delete Password" button.

Go to Appearance -> Widgets page, drag and drop "Wise Chat Window" widget on the desired sidebar. The name of the channel can be specified as well.

You can do it by yourself. Go to Settings -> Wise Chat Settings page, select Localization tab and translate texts in each field into your own language. These are all texts that are exposed to end-users.

Wise Chat plugin works on any mobile device that supports Javascript and cookies. The interface is responsive, but you should enable submit button in order an user could send a message. Go to Settings -> Wise Chat Settings page, select Appearance tab and select checkbox "Show Submit Button".
