## Setting Up for Installation <a href="#setting-up-for-installation" id="setting-up-for-installation"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
In order to install a web chat widget on WordPress, you will need the following: - Access to your website's WordPress Dashboard - A code snippet for your web chat widget
{% endhint %}

If you don't have a code snippet already, you will generate one when creating a Bonomi [Website Chat Widget](/channels-overview/website-chat-widget.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have the channels already connected on the Bonomi platform and you need to retrieve the generated code snippet, navigate to the Manage Channels section under Settings. Press the respective blue **Edit** button to find the generated script.
