Description
PopABot lets you create AI-powered chatbots trained on your own data. This plugin connects your PopABot chatbot to your WordPress site with a simple Chatbot ID – no coding required.
This plugin is a connector for the PopABot service. A PopABot account and chatbot are required for the widget to function.
Features:
- One-click chatbot integration
- Paste your Chatbot ID or full embed code – ID is extracted automatically
- Show chatbot on all pages or specific pages only
- Wildcard page matching (e.g. shop* matches all shop pages)
- Exclude chatbot from checkout, cart, or any page
- Lightweight – loads asynchronously, no impact on page speed
- Auto-clears popular caching plugins when settings change
- Works with any WordPress theme
How it works:
- Create your AI chatbot at popabot.com
- Train it with your data (documents, website content, FAQs)
- Install this plugin and paste your Chatbot ID or embed code
- Your chatbot is live on your WordPress site
External service disclosure:
- This plugin connects to PopABot, a hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) product.
- When the chatbot is enabled, your site loads the chat widget script from
https://popabot.com/deploy/{chatbot_id}. - When an administrator saves a Chatbot ID in the plugin settings, the plugin sends that Chatbot ID to PopABot to verify the connection.
- PopABot account, service, and billing details are available on popabot.com.

FAQ
-
Where do I find my Chatbot ID?
-
Log in to your PopABot dashboard, click on your chatbot, and find it in the Embed Code section. You can paste either the raw Chatbot ID or the full embed code snippet – the plugin will extract the ID automatically.
-
Do I need a PopABot account?
-
Yes. Create a free account at popabot.com to build and manage your chatbot.
-
Does this plugin connect to an external service?
-
Yes. PopABot is a hosted service. The plugin loads the chat widget from PopABot on the front end and verifies the Chatbot ID with PopABot when you save plugin settings. Review service details on popabot.com.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. The chatbot script loads asynchronously and does not block page rendering.
-
Can I show the chatbot on specific pages only?
-
Yes. In Settings > PopABot, choose “Only specific pages” or “All pages except…” and list the page paths. Use * for wildcards (e.g. shop* matches shop and shop/shoes, but not shopping).
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. The chatbot widget works on any WordPress page, including WooCommerce shop and product pages.
-
What happens when I deactivate the plugin?
-
The chatbot stops showing immediately. Your settings are preserved so you can reactivate later without re-configuring.
-
What happens when I delete the plugin?
-
All plugin settings are removed from the database. You will need to re-enter your Chatbot ID if you reinstall.
