Installation Methods

Method 1: Plugin Installation (Recommended)

The easiest way to add Accesstive to your WordPress site is through the official plugin.

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Download the Plugin: Get the Accesstive plugin files from the official repository
2. Upload to WordPress:
   1. Navigate to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
   2. Choose the plugin ZIP file
   3. Click Install Now
3. Activate the Plugin: Click Activate after installation completes
4. Access Accesstive Dashboard: Find the new Accesstive menu item in your WordPress admin sidebar

Method 2: Manual Code Integration

For advanced users who prefer manual implementation or need custom control over the integration.

Using Theme Functions:

1. Access Theme Editor: Navigate to Appearance → Theme Editor
2. Edit functions.php: Add this code to your theme's functions.php file:

function accesstive_add_assistant_script() {
    echo '<script async src="https://cdn.accesstive.com/assistance.js" type="module"></script>';
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'accesstive_add_assistant_script');

 

Using Child Theme (Recommended for Manual Integration):

1. Create a child theme if you haven't already
2. Add the above code to your child theme's functions.php
3. This ensures the integration survives theme updates
