Additional Notes #

• This guide assumes that you’re using a standard WordPress theme. The exact process may vary depending on the theme and whether it allows editing PHP files from the dashboard.
• Be cautious when editing your theme’s PHP files. A small mistake can make your site inaccessible. It’s advisable to backup your website before making any changes.
• If you’re not comfortable editing the theme files directly, consider using a WordPress plugin that allows you to insert scripts in the footer section of your site.
• If the Futr AI chatbot does not appear on your website after following these steps, or if you encounter any problems, contact Futr AI support for assistance.
