## 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.

#### How it works

 1. Install & activate the plugin.
 2. Choose “Create Account” (for new users) or “Sign In”.
 3. Select your desired chat widget from the list.
 4. If an old manual snippet is found, use the “Clean Up & Apply” feature for a perfect
    installation.
 5. Your chat widget is live!

#### External Service Disclosure

This plugin connects to the Pingu API (https://api.pingu.chat) to authenticate users,
manage registrations, and fetch widget configurations. The chat widget and assets
are loaded from https://admin.pingu.chat/loader.js.

## FAQ

### Does it work with WP Rocket and other caching plugins?

Yes! We have implemented specialized JavaScript fixes to ensure Pingu Chat remains
interactive even when these plugins optimize or delay page elements.

### What is Conflict Detection?

If you previously pasted a Pingu code snippet manually into your theme or a snippet
plugin like WPCode, our plugin will find it and offer to disable it automatically
to prevent conflicts.

### Is it free?

The plugin is free to install. You will need a Pingu account (Free Trial available)
to use the service.
