The responsive layout adapts to different screen sizes.

Excluded Pages

SmartLink Chatbox includes an Excluded Pages feature that allows you to prevent floating chat buttons from appearing on specific pages.

This can be useful when you want to hide the buttons from pages such as:

• Contact pages
• About pages
• Checkout pages

• Any other selected page

To configure excluded pages:

1. Go to Settings > SmartLink Chatbox.
2. Find the Excluded Pages section.
3. Enter one URL or path per line.
4. Select the desired exclusion mode.
5. Save the settings.

Exclusion Modes

SmartLink Chatbox provides two exclusion modes.

Exact

The Exact mode checks for an exact URL/path match.

For example:

/about

can be used to exclude the About page.

Contains

The Contains mode excludes pages when the specified text is found in the current URL/path.

For example:

/product

can exclude URLs such as:

/product/123

and other URLs containing the specified text.

Use Exact when you want a more specific exclusion and Contains when you want to exclude a group of related URLs.

Reset to Defaults

The plugin includes a Reset to Defaults option in the settings panel.

Use this option to remove your saved SmartLink Chatbox settings and restore the original default configuration.

Use the reset option carefully because previously saved customization settings may be removed.

SmartLink Chatbox is designed to have a minimal impact on your website.

The plugin does not require external JavaScript libraries or external services to display the floating buttons.

The interface is responsive and designed to work across:
