## Best Practices for WordPress

### Performance Optimization

* Use a caching plugin (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache)
* Ensure the chatbot loads asynchronously
* Monitor site speed after integration

### SEO Considerations

* The chatbot doesn't affect your SEO
* Consider adding structured data for better search visibility
* Test mobile responsiveness

### Security

* Keep your WordPress site updated
* Use secure hosting
* Regularly backup your site

## Troubleshooting

### Chatbot Not Appearing

* Check if the code was added correctly
* Clear any caching plugins
* Verify the code is placed before `</body>` tag

### Theme Conflicts

* Test with a default WordPress theme
* Check for JavaScript errors in browser console
* Contact your theme developer if issues persist

### Plugin Conflicts

* Deactivate other plugins temporarily to test
* Check for JavaScript conflicts
* Use a staging site for testing

## Advanced Configuration

### Custom Post Types

Train your chatbot on custom post types:

* Products
* Services
* Portfolio items
* Team members

### Multisite Support

For WordPress Multisite installations:

* Add the code to the network admin
* Configure per-site settings
* Use different chatbots for different sites

### API Integration

Connect with WordPress REST API:

* Fetch dynamic content
