  1. WPChat 1.4.5Latest

    • New: Added a “Visitor interaction analytics” setting in WPChat > Settings to turn chat analytics off, plus the wpchat_analytics_enabled filter so consent plugins can turn analytics off per visitor, and the wpchat_smart_search_enabled filter to keep FAQ search on your own site.
    • Tweak: WPChat no longer sets any cookies when a page loads. Cookies are set only after a visitor interacts with the chat widget, and turning analytics off removes the analytics cookies a visitor already has.
    • Tweak: After updating, returning visitors may see their previous chat conversation cleared once, the first time they open the chat.
    • Fix: Analytics no longer count one new visitor as several unique visitors.
    • Fix: Chat events are no longer lost when a visitor leaves the page right after using the chat.
    • Fix: On sites with full-page caching, the chat widget no longer loads empty once the cached page’s security token expires.
    • Fix: Visitors are no longer sent to the WPChat admin page, and the admin no longer misses the welcome screen, when a background request runs right after the plugin is activated.
    • Fix: Sidebar links now switch pages correctly when clicked from the Customizer.
    • Fix: Plugin security hardening.

  2. WPChat 1.4.4

    • Tweak: The plugin is now about 5% smaller to download, so installs and updates finish faster and take up less space on your server.
    • Fix: The FAQ list in the admin and FAQ search results no longer show duplicate or skipped entries when several FAQs share the same priority.
    • Fix: Popular FAQs now display in a consistent order when several FAQs have the same number of clicks.

  3. WPChat 1.4.3

    • Tweak: Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.1.
    • Tweak: Improved admin accessibility. Drag-to-reorder lists can now be reordered with the keyboard, with screen-reader announcements confirming each move.
    • Fix: The floating chat button no longer blocks clicks on page content behind it.
    • Fix: Resolved a “translation loading triggered too early” notice on WordPress 6.7 and newer.

  4. WPChat 1.4.2

    • New: Rich-text (WYSIWYG) editing for funnel messages and FAQ answers, including an inline link editor.
    • Tweak: Off-hours messages now render HTML, so links and other markup display correctly.

  5. WPChat 1.4.1

    • New: Added a Help widget for in-app access to documentation and support.
    • Fix: Chat links now open directly in a new tab without a redirect bounce.
