Install
The author publishes release zips, so WP-CLI can install straight from GitHub:
wp plugin install https://github.com/chattermate/chattermate-wordpress-plugin/releases/download/v1.0.0/chattermate-chat.zipChatterMate Chat — WordPress Plugin
Official WordPress plugin that adds the ChatterMate AI customer-support chat widget to any WordPress site. The admin enters a Widget ID under Settings → ChatterMate Chat and the chat launcher appears on every front-end page — no theme edits, survives theme/plugin updates.
This is the WordPress equivalent of the official Shopify app in ../../shopify/chattermate-chat/.
How it works
On wp_footer (front end only) the plugin prints the canonical ChatterMate embed:
<script>window.chattermateId="YOUR_WIDGET_ID";</script>
<script src="https://app.chattermate.chat/webclient/chattermate.min.js" async></script>The widget JS is not bundled — it is loaded from ChatterMate's hosted service so it stays auto-updated. Self-hosters override the Script URL on the settings page.
Source of truth for the snippet: frontend/src/utils/widgetEmbed.ts → buildWidgetEmbed().
