Description
Pingu Live Chat is a reliable and seamless way to add a live chat widget to your WordPress site. Unlike standard copy-paste snippets, our plugin is specifically engineered to bypass aggressive caching and script optimization from popular plugins like WP Rocket and FlyingPress, ensuring your chat widget is always visible and functional for your customers.
Key Features
- Modern Onboarding: Register a new account or log in with existing credentials directly within the WordPress dashboard.
- Smart Conflict Detection: Automatically detects existing manual Pingu code snippets (from WPCode, Header/Footer plugins, or themes) and offers one-click cleanup to prevent duplicate widgets.
- Advanced Caching Support: Specialized technology ensures the chat widget remains clickable even when caching or optimization plugins add transparent layers or delay JavaScript execution.
- Auto-Login Integration: Seamlessly jump from WordPress to your Pingu SaaS dashboard without re-entering passwords.
- Trial & Invite Ready: Supports both Free Trial registration and Invite Key activation.

- Choose “Create Account” (for new users) or “Sign In”.
