Add a chat widget to WordPress

There are two ways to add Kelma to WordPress. The plugin is easiest; the manual snippet suits people who already manage custom code.

Option A — the Kelma plugin (recommended)

1. Download the Kelma Chat plugin (kelma-chat.zip).
2. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, and click Install Now, then Activate.
3. Go to Settings → Kelma Chat.
4. Paste your Agent ID (from your dashboard under Embed & share — the data-kelma value) and Save Changes.
5. Visit your site in a private window — the chat bubble is there.

The plugin adds no render-blocking time, and has a "Hide for logged-in admins" option so the widget stays out of your way while you edit.

Option B — paste the snippet

Without a plugin, add the snippet to your theme's footer. The cleanest place is a "custom code" or "footer scripts" feature:

• Many themes (and page builders like Elementor, Kadence, Astra) have Settings → Custom Code / Footer. Paste the snippet there, set it to load in the footer on the entire site.
• Or use a small plugin like WPCode / Insert Headers and Footers, and paste it into the Footer box.

<script src="https://kelma.chat/embed.js" data-kelma="YOUR_AGENT_ID" async></script>

Avoid pasting it directly into footer.php unless you use a child theme — a theme update would wipe it. The plugin or a headers-and-footers tool survives updates.
