The simplest possible persistent chat solution!

Privacy
This plugin collects voluntary user chat data (i.e., Name, Chat Message, and optional URL field). It also gives the administrator the option to collect or not collect user IP information. Aside from those two things, this plugin does not collect or store any user data. Further, this plugin does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. Thus, with the exception of optional IP collection, this plugin does not affect user privacy in any way.
Works perfectly with or without Gutenberg Block Editor
