Install on WordPress

Three ways to add the widget to a WordPress site.

Pick whichever of these matches how your site is built. All three produce the same result.

Option 1 — a header/footer plugin (recommended)

The safest method, because it survives theme updates.

1. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New and install a snippet plugin such as WPCode or Insert Headers and Footers.
2. Activate it, then open its settings.
3. Copy your snippet from Widget → Embed in LimeCall.
4. Paste it into the Footer box — not the header.
5. Save.

Option 2 — your theme's built-in setting

Many themes include a custom-code area. Look under Appearance → Customize for "Custom Code", "Footer Scripts" or similar, and paste the snippet into the footer field.

Code pasted directly into a theme's own settings is usually lost when that theme updates. Option 1 avoids this.

Option 3 — edit the theme directly

Only do this on a child theme. Editing a parent theme means losing your change on the next update.

1. Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor.
2. Open footer.php.
3. Paste the snippet immediately before </body>.
4. Update the file.

Clear your cache

WordPress caching is the most common reason a correctly installed widget does not appear.

After installing, purge the cache in every layer you run:

• your caching plugin (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Super Cache),
• your host's server-side cache (Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround and others each have their own),
• Cloudflare or any other CDN in front of the site.

Then test in a private window.

If you use an optimisation plugin

Plugins that combine, defer or minify JavaScript can break third-party widgets. If the widget does not load, add it to the exclusion list:

• WP Rocket — exclude limecall under File Optimization → Excluded JavaScript Files.
• Autoptimize — add limecall to Exclude scripts from Autoptimize.
• LiteSpeed Cache — add it to the JS Excludes list.

Verify

Open your site in a private window and wait a few seconds for the widget to appear. If it does not, work through The widget is not showing.
