Descrizione
VolgaChat is an AI chat assistant that answers your visitors’ questions using your own website content.
This plugin puts the VolgaChat chat on your site without editing theme files:
- One-click setup. Click Connect with VolgaChat under Settings VolgaChat. Sign in or create an account (new accounts start with a free trial), pick or create a chatbot, and you are sent back with everything filled in.
- Learns your site. VolgaChat confirms the site is yours and starts reading your pages. You choose which pages your chatbot learns from in the VolgaChat dashboard.
- Turn it on or off with one checkbox, without losing your setup.
- Fast. The chat script loads in the footer with
defer, so it does not slow down your pages. - Works with page caches. Connecting clears the cache of common caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, SiteGround Optimizer), so the chat shows up straight away.
You need a VolgaChat account to use this plugin. Connect creates one for you, or sign up at volgachat.com.
External services
This plugin connects to VolgaChat (https://volgachat.com), the service that runs the chat assistant. It is needed for the plugin to work at all.
- The chat on your pages: on every front-end page, while the chat is turned on and a chatbot is connected, visitors’ browsers load the chat script from
https://volgachat.com/v1/widget.js. Loading it sends the usual request data (the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent and the page address) and your chatbot’s ID, so the chat can load your chatbot’s settings. When a visitor sends a message, the message text and the page address are sent to VolgaChat to generate a reply, and the conversation is stored for you to review in your VolgaChat dashboard. - When you click Connect with VolgaChat: your browser goes to
https://volgachat.com/connect/wordpresswith your site address, your site title and a return address in your WordPress admin. After you sign in and pick a chatbot, VolgaChat sends your browser back with the chatbot’s ID and name, your VolgaChat account email, and a verification code for your site. - Site check: right after connecting, and when you click Check again, your WordPress server sends your chatbot’s ID, your site’s address and its verification code to
https://volgachat.com/api/connect/wordpress/verify. VolgaChat then reads your home page, or the verification code this plugin publishes at/.well-known/volgachat-verification.txt, to confirm the site is yours. Once it is confirmed, VolgaChat reads your site’s public pages so your chatbot can answer from them. - The plugin sends nothing else, and nothing at all until you connect or enter a Bot ID.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Bot ID?
-
No. Connect with VolgaChat fills it in for you. If you prefer to enter it by hand, it is the value of
data-bot-idin your chatbot’s embed code in the VolgaChat dashboard. -
My plan only includes one chatbot. Can I connect another site?
-
Yes. When you connect, pick the chatbot you already have. One chatbot can answer on several sites. To give this site its own chatbot, upgrade your plan.
-
The site check failed. What should I do?
-
The settings page says why. The common reasons:
- Password-protected or staging site (HTTP 401): VolgaChat cannot read a site that asks for a password. Remove the password, or connect your live site.
- Firewall or security plugin (HTTP 403): allow requests from
VolgaChatBot. - Maintenance or “coming soon” mode (HTTP 503): turn it off, then click Check again.
- A site on your own computer (such as
localhostor.local): VolgaChat cannot reach it. The chat still works there, and the check passes once the site is online.
-
The chat does not appear. What should I check?
-
Make sure the Show the chat widget on my site box is ticked. Your theme must call
wp_footer(), which almost all themes do. If you use a caching plugin the plugin does not know about, or a CDN cache, clear it after connecting. -
Can I hide the chat without losing my setup?
-
Yes. Untick Show the chat widget on my site and save. Your connection stays saved.
-
What does Disconnect do?
-
It removes the chat from your site and clears the connection in WordPress. Your chatbot, its content and its conversations stay in your VolgaChat account, and you can connect again at any time.
-
What happens when I delete the plugin?
-
Its settings are removed from your database. Your chatbot and its conversations stay in your VolgaChat account.
