Full-Page Chat Interface (Shortcode)

Summary: The Full-Page Chat Interface is a feature of the Antimanual plugin that renders the chatbot as a large, inline chat interface embedded directly within a WordPress page. Rather than appearing as a floating widget anchored to the corner of the screen, the chat interface is placed inside the page's content area and occupies the full width of the content column.

This is useful when you want to dedicate an entire page to the chatbot — for example, a support page, a help center page, or a contact alternative — where the chat interface is the primary focus of the page.

Difference from the floating widget

	Floating Widget	Full-Page Chat Interface
Position	Fixed, overlaid on every page	Inline, within the page content
Trigger	Toggle button in the page corner	Always visible when the page is loaded
Page scope	Appears site-wide	Appears only on the page where the shortcode is placed
Shortcode	You are offline Hi there! How can I help you today? Sources Not sure what to ask? How to install Docy? Import Docy demo Enable assistant in Eazydocs Chat with a Human (not required — loads automatically)	[antimanual_chat] (required)

When the [antimanual_chat] shortcode is present on a page, the floating widget is automatically suppressed on that page to avoid conflicts.

Requirements

• Antimanual plugin version: 3.10.0 or later
• Antimanual Pro plugin: Required (the Pro plugin must be installed and active alongside the free Antimanual plugin)
• License plan: Pro Max is required. The [antimanual_chat] shortcode produces no output on the free plan or on standard Pro plans. The shortcode is also available during an active 14-day Pro Max trial.
• Chatbot module: The Chatbot module must be enabled in Antimanual settings.
• Chatbot status: The chatbot must be enabled in Antimanual settings.

Shortcode

Syntax

[antimanual_chat]

This is the complete shortcode. It does not accept any attributes or parameters.

All chat appearance settings — including the chatbot title, help text, avatar, welcome message, and suggested questions — are pulled from your Antimanual chatbot configuration in the WordPress admin dashboard. These settings are shared with the floating widget.

How to Add the Full-Page Chat Interface

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Pages → Add New, or open an existing page where you want the chat interface to appear.
3. In the WordPress Block Editor, click the + (Add Block) button to insert a new block.
4. Search for and insert a Shortcode block.
5. In the shortcode field, type or paste the following:[antimanual_chat]
6. Click Publish (for a new page) or Update (for an existing page).
7. Open the published page in your browser. The full-page chat interface should be visible in the content area.

Tip: Only one instance of [antimanual_chat] should be placed on a page. If the shortcode appears more than once on the same page, only the first instance renders; subsequent instances are silently ignored.

Using the Shortcode with WordPress Editors

WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg)

Use the Shortcode block (found under Widgets in the block inserter, or search for “Shortcode”). Paste [antimanual_chat] into the block’s input field and save the page.

Classic Editor

In the Text (HTML) tab of the Classic Editor, place [antimanual_chat] at the position in the content where you want the chat interface to appear. The shortcode can also be placed in the Visual tab as plain text.

Elementor

The shortcode is compatible with Elementor. Use the Shortcode widget (search for “Shortcode” in the Elementor widget panel), drag it onto the page, and enter [antimanual_chat] in the widget’s shortcode field.

Example

The following is the complete, copy-ready shortcode:

[antimanual_chat]

Place this on a dedicated WordPress page — for example, a page titled “Chat with Us” or “AI Support” — to give visitors a focused chat experience.

Result

After publishing the page, visitors will see a full-width chat panel embedded in the page content. The panel:

• Displays the chatbot header (title and help text, if configured).
• Shows the configured welcome message.
• Displays up to three suggested questions (if configured).
• Provides a text input area for sending messages.
• Includes a Reset Conversation button in the header.
• Shows a Live Chat escalation button if escalation to live chat is enabled on your Pro plan.
• Adapts to the viewport — the panel height adjusts automatically on tablet and mobile screens.

The floating chatbot widget that normally appears on all pages is suppressed on any page where the [antimanual_chat] shortcode is active.
