What's going wrong
Site owners report that this WordPress chat-button plugin cannot be switched off or removed from the dashboard. One reviewer says the only way out is a tiny, greyed-out option tucked into a corner of the prompt, which reads as a deliberate dark pattern rather than an accident. Others say removal is blocked too, and that the vendor's support did not help them get unstuck. Owners who want to leave are trapped, unable to deactivate or uninstall the plugin cleanly. There is an opening for a tool that lets site owners disable or remove a stubborn plugin safely from outside the admin screen, in one step.
