WordPress chat integration with your WordPress members

Here are the settings that you need to set-up after downloading the chat plugin.

  • Let’s assume you’ve installed the plugin and created a RumbleTalk account. Firstly, you’ll see the default chat (if you want more, you need to upgrade your account). Next, you want to connect your WordPress users to the chat. Simply check Members (see the example above). Then, save. By checking this checkbox, it will then seamlessly integrate the WordPress chat to use the WordPress registered users.
  • The second thing that you would need to do is to embed the chat on your site. So, add the chat to a page where users need to login to see the content (e.g., member’s area). You’ll need to use the shortcode to do this.
