Check that live chat is working

Save the template, then open your blog in a private browsing window. A private window matters: as a signed-in administrator you may see a different version of the page than your visitors do.

  1. Look for the chat launcher on the page. If it is missing, view the page source and search for mylivechat to confirm the code is really being served.
  2. Start a chat as a visitor and send a test message.
  3. Sign in to the web console and confirm the message arrives and that you can reply.
  4. Close the chat and check the transcript is saved, so you know follow-up will work.

If your blog caches pages, clear the cache before deciding something is broken. A cached copy of the old page is the single most common reason a correct installation looks like a failed one.

Common Blogger setup mistakes

  • The theme editor rejected the paste. Blogger's theme editor is strict about markup. Paste the snippet as-is immediately before the closing body tag rather than inside another element.
  • You changed themes afterwards. Switching Blogger themes replaces the HTML you edited. Re-add the code after a theme change.
  • Chat looks offline to everyone. The widget shows an offline form when no agent is signed in. That is working as intended - set your hours and your offline message so the page tells visitors when to expect a reply.

Make the chat window fit your blog

Colours, position, language and the pre-chat form are all set in your MyLiveChat dashboard, not in the Blogger code, so you can change them without touching your blog again. See customization options for what can be changed, and visitor monitoring if you want to see which page a visitor is on before you reply.

Blogger live chat FAQ

Will the chat button show on every post?

Yes. The code is added to your Blogger template, which every post and page shares.

What happens if I change my Blogger theme?

A new theme replaces the template you edited, so the code goes with it. Re-add it after any theme change.

Will it slow down my blog?

The chat code loads asynchronously, so it does not block your page from rendering. If you want to check that for yourself rather than take our word for it, measure your own pages before and after with your usual speed tool.

Is it really free?

Yes. One agent, unlimited chats and unlimited websites are free forever, with no credit card required.

Any questions?

If anything is unclear, contact our support team from the chat button on this page or visit the Support page. We can help you choose the right setup path.
