, and place the KW Buzz Bot code right before the</body>

What If Your Platform Isn’t Listed?
Most platforms follow a fairly similar installation process. If yours isn’t mentioned here, a quick search for “how to install custom scripts on [platform name]” should point you in the right direction.
🚧 Unsupported Platforms:
Currently, KW Buzz Bots are not supported on:
- Durable.co
- Google Sites
- GoDaddy Page Builder
Although some users have successfully implemented inline embed bots on Google Sites and GoDaddy Page Builder, support is limited because these platforms are not designed for robust functionality.
My Bot Isn’t Appearing or Disappears
If your KW Buzz Bot isn’t showing up or disappears, here’s how to identify and resolve the issue:
Common Fixes:
Verify the Code Installation
Ensure the bot code is correctly installed on your site:
- Right-click your website and select “View Page Source”.
- Use
Ctrl+F
(Windows) orCmd+F
(Mac) to search the source code for the term ‘KW Buzz Bot’. - If nothing comes up, the code isn’t installed. The code should ideally be placed before the
</body>
tag, though installing it in the header may work if the footer isn’t an option.
Custom HTML Sites
If the code is installed but the bot isn’t appearing, and you’re using a custom HTML site (not a website builder/platform):
- Add this line of code to your header section, immediately after the
<head>
tag:<meta charset="UTF-8">
GHL or Groove Specific Codes
If your bot is disappearing and you’re using GoHighLevel (GHL) or Groove, ensure you’re using the platform-specific integration code from the Integration Code tab (beneath the Universal Integration Code) in your dashboard.
WordPress Users
WordPress caching or optimization plugins (like WPRocket, SiteGround Optimize, etc.) are the most common reason for the bot not appearing. Follow these steps:
- Go into the plugin’s settings and disable all JavaScript-related functions (e.g., JS caching or JS optimization).
- Disabling the entire plugin isn’t enough. The last cached version will still load unless you manually turn off JS-related settings.
- Double-check that the bot was installed correctly. You can use the free WPCode Plugin for easier script management if needed.
Unsupported Platforms
Unfortunately, Google Sites and GoDaddy’s Website Builder do not currently support floating widgets like the KW Buzz Bot because they embed custom code in frames, which aren’t compatible. These platforms are better suited for small personal projects. However, the new inline-embeddable bot might work, though it hasn’t been extensively tested.
- Another unsupported platform is Durable, which does not yet support KW Buzz Bot widgets. We’ve reached out but haven’t received a resolution.
Local Test Environments
If you’re testing the bot on a local test environment (i.e., offline, without uploading to a live server), the bot won’t load. The site must be hosted online for the KW Buzz Bot to function.
Clear Cached Versions
After making any fixes or updates to your site, open a private browsing window (Incognito mode) to check that you’re seeing the updated version of the site rather than a cached one.
