## Description

**Baza Live Chat** connects your WordPress site to Telegram — self-hosted, no third-
party servers, no data sharing. Visitors chat on your site and you reply directly
from Telegram.

### Features:

 * Live chat widget embedded on your WordPress site
 * Visitors send messages – you reply via Telegram bot
 * Real-time polling for instant message delivery
 * Webhook support for instant operator replies
 * Sound notifications for new messages
 * GDPR consent support
 * IP blocking, rate limiting, and a visitor activity log
 * Custom colors and avatar for the chat widget
 * Auto-questions for quick replies
 * Static mode – embed chat inline anywhere
 * Built-in protection from bots: only real visitors reach your Telegram

### Want more? Baza Live Chat Pro

This free plugin is complete on its own. If you want your chat to do more of the
work, the paid versions of [Baza Live Chat](https://bazadevelopers.com/products/live-chat/)
add:

**AI assistant**
 * Answers visitors with the AI you choose – **Google Gemini, OpenAI(
GPT) or Anthropic Claude** – using your own API key, so you pay the provider directly
and nothing passes through our servers. * Learns from your own site: pick the post
types (pages, services, FAQ, products…) it may read and exclude single posts; it
sees each page’s address, so it can point visitors to the right page. * Your tone
and rules in a system prompt; hand-over keywords and a “Talk to an operator” button–
the chat moves to you the moment the visitor asks for a person, or when the assistant
cannot find an answer. * Interface texts, auto-questions and teaser messages are
translated into each visitor’s language automatically.

**Booking assistant for [Baza Booking Calendar](https://wordpress.org/plugins/baza-booking-calendar/)**
*
Visitors book without leaving the chat: it lists the services you allow, checks 
the real free slots for the day they ask about, offers extras, asks the questions
of your booking form and applies promo codes. * The price they are quoted is calculated
by Baza Booking Calendar itself (taxes, extras, discounts), and a slot is re-checked
for clashes right before the booking is written – the AI never invents a time, a
price or a booking number. * Payment in the chat: a payment link, or pay from the
client’s balance confirmed with a one-time code sent by email; the visitor is thanked
automatically when the money arrives. * Recognises signed-in clients and their loyalty
discount, and you get a Telegram message for every booking made through the chat.

**WooCommerce order assistant**
 * Visitors ask “where is my order?” and get the
status after a verification step (order number plus the email or phone on the order);
you choose which order fields may be shared and how many failed attempts are allowed
before the chat is handed to you.

**Smarter Telegram workflow and visitor insight**
 * **Supergroup mode** – every
visitor gets a separate topic in your Telegram group; several operators can work
in parallel, you reply inside the topic, and the topic closes with the chat. * **
Teaser messages** – an animated bubble with a typing effect invites visitors to 
open the chat; random message, delay and “remember that it was closed” are adjustable.***
Geo tracking** – the visitor’s country in the chat and a Telegram note (country,
IP, page) on each unique daily visit. * **Chat session log** – every conversation
kept and searchable in the admin. * **Cloudflare Turnstile** – an invisible anti-
bot check on top of the built-in one.

The features above are not part of this plugin; it never locks or limits what it
already does. Baza Booking Calendar itself is [free on WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/baza-booking-calendar/).

### External services

and privacy policies before use.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/baza-live-chat/` or install via
    the WordPress plugin screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Baza Live Chat  Settings** and create a Telegram bot via [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather).
 4. Enter your Bot Token and Chat ID, click **Save**.
 5. Click **Set Webhook** to connect Telegram to your site.
 6. The chat widget will appear on your site automatically.

## FAQ

### Do I need a paid account?

No. Everything in this plugin is free. You only need a Telegram bot, which is free
to create with @BotFather. A paid Pro version with extra features (AI assistant 
with Gemini, OpenAI or Claude, a booking assistant for Baza Booking Calendar, WooCommerce
order lookup, Supergroup mode and more) is available at bazadevelopers.com, see 
the list in the description.

### Is my data stored on your servers?

No. All chat data is stored in your own WordPress database. Messages go directly
from your site to your Telegram bot.

### Does it work with page builders?

Yes. Use the `[baza_live_chat]` shortcode to embed the chat anywhere, including 
Gutenberg, Elementor, and other page builders. Add `static="true"` to show it as
an inline block.

### Where is the readable source of the minified scripts?

In the plugin itself: every `*.min.js` in `assets/js/` sits next to the file of 
the same name without `.min`. They are generated with Terser (`npx terser blc.js-
c -m -o blc.min.js`).

## Changelog

#### 1.3.3

 * Fixed: pages could not be cached by page-cache plugins and server caches (and
   cache warm-ups reported “response-sets-cookie”), because the visitor cookie was
   set in the page’s own response. The cookie is now set in the browser, once a 
   real person has been seen, and the page itself sets no cookie.

#### 1.3.2

 * Only real visitors reach your Telegram. A visit is reported, and a chat can be
   started, only by a browser that passes a quiet check: the request must look like
   a visitor’s browser (crawlers, headless browsers, HTTP libraries, AI and SEO 
   bots, link previews and speed tests are refused by name; calls from other sites
   are refused), the page does a small proof-of-work in the background (about a 
   tenth of a second, once), and a visit is reported only after a real mouse, key,
   touch or scroll event and a moment on screen.
 * The visitor’s address is no longer taken from headers anyone can write (Client-
   IP, X-Forwarded-For): they are read only behind a reverse proxy you run or Cloudflare,
   so per-address limits and IP blocks cannot be sidestepped. Extra trusted proxies:
   the filter `baza_lc_trusted_proxies`.
 * The visit counter asks “was this address already counted today?” before it spends
   a rate-limit write.

#### 1.3.1

 * A “Get Pro” button in the plugin’s header and an “Upgrade to Pro” item at the
   bottom of its menu; both are plain links to the plugin’s page and can be turned
   off.
