Turning the chat widget on and off
One checkbox controls whether the widget appears anywhere, and it is not the same thing as deactivating the plugin.
Category
Widget
The front-end chat surface.
Hiding the widget on specific pages
One filter decides, per request, whether the launcher renders — so any WordPress conditional will do.
Customising the welcome message and system prompt
One is what the visitor reads first; the other is what the model is told. They live on different screens and do different jobs.
Branding the widget
The widget deliberately does not inherit your theme. What you can change, and why the isolation is worth keeping.
Why other plugins can’t see inside the chat
The widget is isolated from the rest of the page on purpose. That breaks translation and session-recording tools, and not screen readers.
Does Sohay slow down my site?
An 8 KB launcher on every page, and the rest only when somebody opens the chat. What that costs, and the one setting that changes it.
