Fully translation-ready with complete cleanup on uninstall. ### Features * **Dark & Light Mode:** Seamless toggle between dark and light themes. * **Color Customization:** Change header, button, and sender name colors with WordPress Color Picker. * **Fast AJAX Messaging:** Smooth submission with real-time feedback and loading state. * **Theme Font Inheritance:** Uses your active theme’s typography automatically. * **Admin Message Management:** - Paginated message list (20 items/page). - Checkbox selection with Bulk Delete support. - Instant purge button for entire chat history. * **Multi-Language Ready:** Fully localized text domain (`haidm-live-community- chat`). * **Unicode Emoji Picker:** Local Unicode emoji picker with 10 categories, recent history, and English/Vietnamese keyword search. No emoji image assets or remote emoji service are required. ### External services This plugin uses Gravatar, an avatar service provided by Automattic, to display profile images for chat participants through WordPress’s `get_avatar_url()` function. When a chat avatar is displayed, WordPress generates a Gravatar image URL based on a hash of the user’s email address. The visitor’s browser then requests that image from Gravatar. The request can include the email hash, requested avatar size/ default parameters, and standard connection metadata such as the visitor’s IP address and user agent, as described in the provider’s privacy policy. This occurs when chat messages with avatars are displayed or loaded through AJAX.
