<?php } elseif(pll_current_language() == ‘es’){ ?>

    <!–  WIDGET SCRIPT –>

Adding the WhatsApp Widget in WordPress with ShortCode

Using the file functions.php from the active theme, we can create a shortcode using add_shortcode.

<?php function sc_tochat() {
    ob_start();
?>

<script defer src=”https://widget.tochat.be/bundle.js?key=ef8c9006-a28c-4bb4-a602-5caebffa34a0“></script>

<?php
    $output = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode( ‘tochat_widget’, ‘sc_tochat’ );

Once we have the shortcode we can add it anywhere in our website.

• Using the theme editor: [tochat_widget]
• In our template using do_shortcode:
  <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[tochat_widget]’) ?>
