How to Install HelperHat on WordPress
Add HelperHat AI live chat to WordPress without editing your theme files.
The HelperHat WordPress plugin is the recommended WordPress path. Until the WordPress.org listing is live, use the standard install code method below.
Option 1: Install the WordPress Plugin
- In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New.
- Search for HelperHat AI Live Chat.
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
- Go to Settings > HelperHat.
- Paste your HelperHat business ID and save.
- Open your public website and confirm the HelperHat chat button appears.
Find Your HelperHat Business ID
Open your HelperHat Settings
page and copy the value after businessId= in your install code.
<script async defer
src="https://helperhat.com/install.js?businessId=YOUR_ID"></script>
Option 2: Add HelperHat Manually
If the plugin is not available yet, add the HelperHat install code to your WordPress theme or a trusted header/footer code plugin.
- Copy your full HelperHat install code from HelperHat Settings.
- Paste it before the closing
</body> tag, or into a WordPress header/footer code manager that inserts code before </body>.
- Save, clear cache, and open your public website.
Verify the Installation
- Open a public page in an incognito/private browser window.
- Confirm the HelperHat chat button appears near the bottom corner.
- If it does not appear, check that your business ID is correct and that caching/minification plugins are not blocking external scripts.
