WordPress

The safest way to add a script to every WordPress page is through a header/footer plugin — this survives theme updates. Alternatively, edit your theme’s footer.php directly, but note that changes will be lost when the theme is updated.

Plugin (recommended)
Theme footer.php

Install a header/footer scripts plugin

Go to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress admin. Search for and install one of:

Insert Headers and Footers (WPBeginner)
Head, Footer and Post Injections
Scripts n Styles

Activate the plugin after installing.

Paste the snippet into the footer section

Open the plugin’s settings page (the exact path varies by plugin, e.g. Settings → Insert Headers and Footers). Find the Footer or Scripts in Footer field and paste:

<script
  async
  src="https://widget.beforequery.com/beforequery-widget.js"
  data-knowledge-base-id="kb_xxx"
  data-client-key="bq_pk_..."
></script>

Replace kb_xxx and bq_pk_... with your actual values. Save the settings.

Verify on the front end

Visit any page of your site. The “Ask AI” launcher should appear in the bottom corner.

Open the Theme File Editor or connect via FTP

In WordPress admin, go to Appearance → Theme File Editor (or connect via FTP/SFTP). Open your active theme’s footer.php.If you are using a child theme, edit the child theme’s footer.php. If none exists, create one inheriting from the parent.

Paste the snippet before </body>

Locate the closing </body> tag (or the wp_footer() call that sits just before it) and insert the snippet immediately above it:

footer.php

<script
  async
  src="https://widget.beforequery.com/beforequery-widget.js"
  data-knowledge-base-id="kb_xxx"
  data-client-key="bq_pk_..."
></script>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

Replace kb_xxx and bq_pk_... with your actual values.

Save and verify

Save the file and visit any page of your site to confirm the launcher appears.

Editing theme files directly (the non-plugin approach) means your changes will be overwritten when the theme updates. Use a child theme or the plugin approach to avoid losing the snippet.

Get your keys — your knowledge base ID and public client key (bq_pk_...) are in the BeforeQuery dashboard under Knowledge Base → Integration. Add your WordPress site’s domain to the key’s origin allowlist.

For all widget configuration options, see Widget reference.
