Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

DevPress Factory Live Chat is a real-time chat plugin for WordPress, inspired by YouTube’s live chat design. It is ideal for live events, streaming, community websites, or any context where users need to communicate in real time.

The chat features a YouTube-style dark theme: inline messages with avatar, username, and text on the same row, online users displayed as chips/pills, and a rounded input bar with a send button. Fully optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.

Key Features:

  • Real-time public chat via AJAX polling (configurable refresh interval)
  • Private messaging between users with card-style popup notifications
  • Built-in emoji picker with 60 emojis
  • Word filter moderation with automatic asterisk replacement
  • User blocking directly from the chat or from the admin panel
  • Browser push notifications and email notifications for private messages
  • 30 Google Fonts with live preview in the admin panel
  • Configurable login wall to restrict access to registered users only
  • One-click full chat history deletion from the admin panel
  • Separate size settings (height and width) for desktop and mobile
  • Compatible with shortcodes, Elementor, WPBakery, and Gutenberg blocks
  • Automatic cleanup of messages older than 30 days via WP-Cron
