So I had a client want to use Intercom. Great! So I went to Intercom and signed up for an account, then went to our WordPress instance and downloaded the Intercom for WordPress plugin. Everybody wins! Until…I get the requirement after the fact that the client does not want the chat pop up on every page…but only on certain pages. However, the out of the box Intercom for WordPress plugin is only built to be supported for all pages and not some. What to do…what to do…let’s figure it out.
First, login into your WordPress (.org version) as an admin and uninstall the Intercom for WordPress plugin. Next install the Head, Footer and Post Injections Plugin:
Once installed, go to the Head, Footer and Post Injections plugin settings and insert the following script injection into the Desktop and Mobile (Check the Mobile checkbox) BEFORE THE CLOSING TAG (FOOTER).
<script>
var ref1= window.location.pathname;
var search1 = "/pagepath1/";
var search2 = "/pagepath2/";
if (ref1.indexOf(search1) > -1 || ref1.indexOf(search2) > -1)
window.intercomSettings = {
app_id: "YourIntercomID"
};
</script>
<script>(function(){var w=window;var ic=w.Intercom;if(typeof ic==="function"){ic('reattach_activator');ic('update',intercomSettings);}else{var d=document;var i=function(){i.c(arguments)};i.q=[];i.c=function(args){i.q.push(args)};w.Intercom=i;function l(){var s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async=true;s.src='https://widget.intercom.io/widget/nna8fbly';var x=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];x.parentNode.insertBefore(s,x);}if(w.attachEvent){w.attachEvent('onload',l);}else{w.addEventListener('load',l,false);}}})()</script>
Save the plugin settings. This JavaScript will check on the specified page paths and only execute turning on Intercom for the specific page paths. Hope this helps!
