How to customize the Assistant Widget of WordPress documentation

Here’s the front overview of the assistant widget!

Activating/deactivating the assistant widget

Here’s the frontend overview of the assistant widget after deactivating it. See it’s appearing here!

Also, you can individually turn off each section. Here we have disabled the “explore.” tab.

Now let’s see how it will appear on site. Here you can see the “explore” tab is not appearing.

Note

Please note: This setting is similar to the messaging option. Just disable the messaging option; it will show only the “explore” tab instead of messaging.

Customizing the Explore Tab

On the upper section of the “explore tab” settings, you’ll find two options.

1. Helpful content: Depending on which articles the visitors deem to be the most useful, the Explore Tab will display the top 10 articles. It will be set automatically in descending order.
2. Selected content: Or, you can manually select which content will appear in the Explore Tab of the Assistant widget
3. Explore tab title: Title of the explore tab
4. Explore tab subtitle: Subtitle of the explore tab
5. Explore tab subtitle 2: Second title of the explore tab

Let’s see if you enable the first option. Don’t forget to save things once you’re done.

You can see the details in the “Explore Tab“. Also, you can see the documentation selected or liked by the users.

Now enable the second option and choose your preferred documentation from the settings. Then hit the save button.

If you preview it, you can see the selected content displayed on the “Explore Tab“.

Customizing the Messaging Tab

Let’s now customize the Messaging tab like the “Explore Tab“. Tap on it, and you’ll get the options!

• Cloudflare turnstile site key: To enable the messaging option, you need to connect your site with CloudFare. And you’ll get a key to use here.

Once you’re done, you’ll get site keys. Just enter here!

If you preview it on your website, you can see the messaging option. Now add your name, email, and message. After that, hit the send button.

So now your users are ready to send messages!
