How to add Facebook messenger plugin to WordPress website
Chat Plugin is a free chat extension that you can install on your website to enable messaging. When people visit your website and click on the chat button, it will send them directly into a Messenger conversation to chat with your business. If people are logged in to their Facebook accounts, the conversations will be saved in Messenger. Otherwise, they can message you as a guest user.
There are two parts to completing the installation. First, you will set up Chat Plugin from your Facebook Page, then you will add the code for the plugin to your website.
