WordPress and AI Chatbots: How It Works
Adding an AI chatbot to WordPress takes under 10 minutes and requires zero coding knowledge. There are two main methods:
Method 1: Paste Script in Theme Footer (Recommended)
1. Log into WordPress admin
2. Go to Appearance → Theme Editor (or Theme File Editor)
3. Open footer.php
4. Paste the Resolve AI script before the closing </body> tag
5. Save and refresh your site
The chatbot is now live across all pages.
Method 2: Use a Code Injection Plugin
If you prefer not to touch theme files:
1. Install the Insert Headers and Footers plugin
2. Go to Settings → Insert Headers and Footers
3. Paste the script into the Footer section
4. Save
Works with any WordPress theme including Elementor, Divi, Astra, and Avada.
Method 3: Use the Resolve AI WordPress Plugin (Coming Soon)
A dedicated plugin will handle installation with one click and auto-sync content from your WordPress posts and pages.
