08/16/2023, 5:55 PMTried installing my bot onto my WordPress website and it's now white screened. I have removed the code from the website and it's still the same. Don't think I'll be using Botpress from now on, I'll use a simpler bot building software.

08/16/2023, 6:14 PMthis shouldn't happen (obviously) - is it possible something else got changed as you were adding the code to your website?

08/16/2023, 6:15 PMsome follow up questions might be - where did you try adding the code to your website, which Botpress code did you add, and is your bot functional elsewhere? (like on the shareable link, for instance)

08/19/2023, 9:46 PMAs a web dev with over a decade experience, embedding the JavaScript from BotPress can not permanently whitescreen your site. Yes there may be a conflict with another script used to load your pages, but fully removing the botpress script would return the site exactly as before. The botpress script does not and cannot alter the sites database or its filesystem permanently. Also check you're site isn't still cached after removing the script.
