Troubleshooting

Widget not appearing: Ensure your Widget ID is entered correctly and the plugin is activated.

Styling issues: If the widget appears incorrectly, try switching to a default WordPress theme to check if it's a theme conflict.

Performance issues: If you notice any performance impacts, ensure you're not running too many other chat or support plugins simultaneously.
