LiveChat – Live Chat Plugin for WP Websites

Fix it!

LiveChat plugin is installed on some of our sites. The admin interface on those sites was defaced on every page with a double line under the H1 page title. There's absolutely no excuse for loading an iFrame at the top of every admin page load. This basically puts LiveChat in the position to track every admin page load of every WordPress site on which LiveChat is installed.

The actual LiveChat interface within WordPress is not a dedicated interface at all but just an iframe login to the LiveChat website.

LiveChat is a wealthy commercial company. They could do much better with their WordPress plugin. Most free plugins created by serious volunteer developers treat their users and WordPress admin interface with more respect.

PS. The second star is for creating a plugin for WordPress (right idea) and that the plugin does not crash the site. The trick now is to create a good LiveChat plugin for WordPress.

Very poorly coded, just a giant iFrame

Best live chat and help desk plugin for WordPress websites. Add the LiveChat widget to engage visitors and provide real‑time customer support! 🚀
