Add the chatbot widget​

Chatbot widget for docs

  1. Install a header/footer editor plugin:

    • Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.

    • Navigate to Plugins > Add New.

    • Search for "WPCode – Insert Headers and Footers" or another similar plugin.

    • Click Install Now and then Activate.

      tip

      If you prefer not to use a plugin, you can manually add the code snippets to your theme's header.php and footer.php files. See the basic installation guide for instructions.

  2. Add the Biel.ai styles and scripts:

    • Navigate to Settings > Insert Headers and Footers (or the relevant plugin settings page).

    • In the Scripts in Header section, add the following code:

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/biel-search/dist/biel-search/biel-search.css">
      <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/biel-search/dist/biel-search/biel-search.esm.js"></script>

    • Click the Save button to apply the changes.

  3. Insert the chatbot before the closing body tag:

    • In the same plugin settings, locate the Scripts in Footer section.

    • Add the following snippet:

      <biel-button project="<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>"
          header-title="Biel.ai chatbot"
          button-position="bottom-right"
          modal-position="bottom-right"
          button-style="dark">
              Ask AI
      </biel-button>

      Replace <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> with your project's ID from the Biel.ai dashboard.

    • Click the Save button to apply the changes.

  4. Visit your WordPress website in a web browser to ensure the chatbot is visible and operational.
