How to install Simple Agent on WordPress

You will paste a single <script> tag in your WordPress site's wp_footer hook or header.php. No plugin, no app installation. WordPress official docs on custom code →

1. 1

   Get your agent token

   Log into Simple Agent → your agent → Widget tab → copy the token shown under 'Embed code'.

2. 2

   Option A — via functions.php (recommended)

   In WordPress Admin, go to Appearance → Theme File Editor → functions.php (or use a child theme). Add the following at the end of the file: add_action('wp_footer', function() { echo '<script src="https://simple-agent.me/widget.js" data-agent-token="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" async></script>'; });

3. 3

   Option B — via Insert Headers and Footers plugin

   If you prefer not to edit theme files, install a free plugin like 'Insert Headers and Footers' (WPCode). Paste the snippet in the 'Footer' section.

4. 4

   Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

   In whichever option you chose, replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your actual agent token. Save.

5. 5

   Verify on the front end

   Open your WordPress site in a new browser tab. The chat widget should appear in the bottom-right. Send a test message.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?

Yes. The snippet loads via the PHP footer hook, which fires regardless of which page builder rendered the content.

Will it conflict with other chat plugins like Tidio or LiveChat?

Both widgets can coexist, but showing two chat buttons on the same page is confusing. We recommend removing the other plugin if you switch to Simple Agent.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Add your WooCommerce sitemap as a source in Simple Agent to train the agent on your products and policies.
