Chatroom is a WordPress chat room and group chat plugin designed to bring real-time communication to any WordPress-powered website. Whether you run a blog, online forum, community platform, directory, e-commerce store, or BuddyPress-based social network, Chatroom gives your users the ability to connect through group chat rooms and private conversations.
This plugin integrates with BuddyPress to power group chat functionality, allowing all registered users to participate in shared chat rooms while also maintaining the option to communicate privately with specific individuals. With built-in friend group creation and member management tools, site administrators and users can organize their community interactions efficiently.
Currently at version 3.34.2, Chatroom is distributed under a GPL license, which means you receive lifetime updates and can use the plugin across unlimited domains. The product ships with 100% clean files that are free from viruses, giving you confidence in what you install on your site.
Adding a chat system to your WordPress site transforms passive visitors into active community members. Chatroom makes it straightforward to introduce real-time communication without needing to build a custom solution from scratch.
For BuddyPress sites, the group chat integration means your existing user base can immediately start interacting in chat rooms, strengthening engagement and encouraging repeat visits. The private messaging feature adds a personal touch, allowing users to connect individually when they need to.
The ability to create friend groups and manage members gives both administrators and users control over their social circles within the site, which is especially valuable for community-driven platforms where organized interaction matters.
Chatroom is versatile enough to serve a wide range of WordPress-based websites:
Before purchasing, you can explore a fully functional demo of the Chatroom plugin. The demo site allows you to log in and experience the chat system firsthand.
