How to integrate WhatsApp in WordPress without plugin?
Integrate WhatsApp in WordPress:
Integrating WhatsApp into WordPress without using a plugin can be achieved by adding WhatsApp’s official chat link directly to your website. Follow these steps:
- Get Your WhatsApp Number:
- Make sure you have a WhatsApp Business Account or a personal WhatsApp account.
- Note down your WhatsApp phone number, including the country code.
- Create WhatsApp Chat Link:
- Construct a WhatsApp chat link using the following format:
https://wa.me/<your-phone-number>
Example: If your phone number is +1234567890, the link would be:
https://wa.me/1234567890
- Add the WhatsApp Link to WordPress:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Edit the page or post where you want to add the WhatsApp link.
- Switch to the HTML or Text editor (not the Visual editor).
- Insert the WhatsApp link where you want the button or text to appear. For example:
<a href="https://wa.me/1234567890" target="_blank">Chat with us on WhatsApp</a>
- You can customize the link text according to your preference.
- Save or update the page or post.
- Test the Integration:
- Visit the page or post on your website where you added the WhatsApp link.
- Click on the link to test if it opens WhatsApp and starts a chat with the specified number.
Note: Make sure to replace “1234567890” with your actual WhatsApp phone number.
