Add Telegram live chat to WordPress

Your visitors write in a chat on your WordPress site, and you answer them from Telegram on your phone.

Your line

Every website has its own line and site code, which you get in step 3 of setup and on the Install tab of your dashboard, with the plugin download next to them. The plugin asks only for the code, the part in place of your-site-id:

Example
<script src="https://signalgood.com/s/your-site-id.js" async></script>

Add it to WordPress in three steps

Download the plugin

Free, and it works with WooCommerce. The copy in your dashboard has your site code built in.

  1. Step 1: Download the plugin. In WordPress, go to Plugins › Add New Plugin › Upload Plugin, choose signalgood-chat.zip, press Install Now, then Activate Plugin.
  2. Step 2: Go to Settings › SignalGood and paste your site code into "Your site code". The whole line works too: the plugin picks out the code.
  3. Step 3: Press Save changes, then open your site in a new tab and look for the chat button in the corner.

Use a caching plugin? Clear its cache after you save, so every page picks the chat up.

A page builder like Elementor or Divi usually has its own "custom code" or footer setting; that works too, as long as it is on every page.

Rather not add a plugin? Paste your line in a Custom HTML block in your footer instead (Appearance › Editor › Patterns › Footer); it does the same.

Check it works

Open your website in a new tab and look for the chat button in the corner. Send yourself a message: it arrives in Telegram from the SignalGood bot.

Questions about WordPress

Do I need to edit my theme files?

No. The plugin adds the chat to every page for you, and keeps it there when you change or update your theme.

Will it slow WordPress down?

No. The line loads after your page, and what it loads is under 7 KB. The chat itself loads only when a visitor reaches for it.

If the button doesn’t show

  • Wait up to 10 minutes after a change.
  • Clear your cache plugin or CDN.
  • Check the line is on every page, not just one.
  • Make sure the address in SignalGood matches your site, with or without www.
For developers

If your site has a Content Security Policy, allow https://signalgood.com in script-src, connect-src and frame-src.

Take it off again

Deactivate the plugin under Plugins (or remove the line, if you pasted it), and the chat is gone from your site.
