Easy Setup
Just activate the plugin and place the chat wherever you like using Elementor. You can even add it to the MegaFooter to keep the chat persistent across all pages — perfect for listeners who browse while tuning in.
Age Restriction
From the settings, you can set a minimum age for access, keeping your youngest audience safe.
Anti-Spam Protection
A built-in rate limit system prevents message flooding and unpolite usage, so conversations remain enjoyable and under control.
Lightweight – No Database
The chat runs without touching your database. Messages are stored in a small local file, keeping your WordPress site fast and your server performance safe.
IP Banning & Auto-Ban
- Add IPs to a ban list to block unwanted users.
- Quickly ban users directly from the chat log with a single click.
Auto-Refresh & Cleanup
Older messages are automatically pruned from both the public chat file and the secure IP log, keeping everything clean and efficient.
Swear Words Filter
We’ve included a pre-compiled, encrypted bad-words list with hundreds of terms in multiple languages. You can also add your own banned words for complete control.
A hidden file keeps track of user IPs and chat activity. This makes it easier to review issues and block offenders, while remaining invisible to users.
Built-In Privacy
A privacy checkbox informs users that messages and IPs are stored temporarily on the server, keeping your station transparent and GDPR-friendly.
Multiple Instances
Need a chat in more than one place? You can add the SimpleChat widget on multiple pages with no limitations.
Customizable Design
Directly from Elementor, you can adjust colors, fonts, and layout in just a few clicks — making the chat fit your station’s style.
Emojis
A handy emoji selector makes conversations more fun and expressive.
Fully Responsive
Whether your listeners connect from desktop or mobile, the chat is designed to adapt and deliver the same smooth experience everywhere.
Unlike many chat solutions that rely on external services, SimpleChat is hosted directly on your website. That means:
- Zero monthly fees
- No third-party apps required
- Everything is included with ProRadio Plus
Zero Login
Listeners just type a username and start chatting. The name lasts only for the session — no emails, no accounts, no friction.
Safety & Volatility
You decide how long messages are stored via the admin panel. After that period, they disappear — no permanent data saved.
Why Your Station Will Love It
- Engage your audience directly while they listen.
- Build a real-time community without third-party platforms.
- Keep everything fast, safe, and private on your own site.
- No extra costs — it’s all included.
ProRadio SimpleChat will be officially available with the release of Pro Radio 8.1.
If you’re a ProRadio Plus subscriber, get ready to activate it at no additional charge!
