Javascript 在 Wordpress 中消失了

Question

I'm using the Tawk.to plugin to add a live chat to my website, and want to let customers open the chat by clicking a text link. Tawk.to gave me this link but when I paste that into my Wordpress editor it disappears as soon as I save the page. I paste it in the text screen as well as by inserting it as a hyperlink on the visual editor screen.

This is the link: <a href="javascript:void(Tawk_API.toggle())"> Click to Chat </a>

This is what I completely have on the website:

<div class="text">
<div class="phone"><strong>Vragen?</strong> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i><a href="javascript:void(Tawk_API.toggle())"> Click to Chat </a></div>

Does anyone know why it disappears and how it can be fixed?

WordPress's page / post editors won't let you put Javascript in pages or posts. Both editors (TinyMCE and Gutenberg) strip it out before saving your data, as you have seen. This is to avoid cross-site-scripting attacks . Because cybercreeps.

To use this tawk app in WordPress, follow their installation instructions . They provide a plugin .
