This is why WPML is now offering live chat support. With chat support, our average time to resolve a problem is less than an hour, while you receive the same professional support as with tickets.<\/p>\n<h2>Why chat support<\/h2>\n<p>We handle a lot of support and we\u2019ve noticed that on many tickets, much of the time is wasted on getting the right information.<\/p>\n<p>Many support tickets look like this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5065823 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example-953x1024.png\" alt=\"A typical support ticket\" width=\"953\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example-953x1024.png 953w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example-279x300.png 279w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example-140x150.png 140w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example-768x826.png 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example-300x322.png 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/typical-ticket-example.png 1335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The reason this is so irritating is because it takes hours to receive a reply to a simple question. Sometimes, it\u2019s already the end of the shift for the supporter, so you need to wait until the next day or start interacting with a different supporter.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters are asking \u201cscript-like\u201d questions not because they are lazy or stubborn but because these questions actually resolve many of the problems. By simply updating the plugins, most problems go away without additional support.<\/p>\n<p>These questions are not the problem. The delay between each question and reply &#8211; that\u2019s what\u2019s making it so irritating.<\/p>\n<p>Chat support takes the pain out. You\u2019ll be through with this round of fact-checking in a minute and the supporter can get to work on the real problem.<\/p>\n<h2>How chat support works<\/h2>\n<p>By default, when you contact WPML support, you will start a chat session. We have a team of supporters who staff the chat sessions from Asian morning until the US afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The number one priority of supporters is to resolve your problem (not to deflect or postpone it).<\/p>\n<p>We manage to resolve over 2\/3 of the support issues during the live chat session. Most sessions take about 30 minutes. Some questions take a bit longer (up to an hour) and some issues require longer debug.<\/p>\n<p>If we need to debug a problem, the support question turns into an offline ticket. The supporter will send the issue to one of the developers, who will reproduce and debug. We do our best to solve problems quickly. Some development issues we can resolve in a couple of days and some take longer. Issues may take longer especially when they\u2019re related to compatibility with other themes and plugins.<\/p>\n<p>When a ticket goes \u201coffline\u201d, you will receive email updates instead of chat \u201cpings\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>What clients are saying<\/h2>\n<p>Here are just a few comments from our clients after using our chat support:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5065871 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/wpml-chat-support-testimonials-1024x651.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/wpml-chat-support-testimonials-1024x651.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/wpml-chat-support-testimonials-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/wpml-chat-support-testimonials-150x95.png 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/wpml-chat-support-testimonials-768x488.png 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/wpml-chat-support-testimonials.png 1266w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Give chat support a try when you need our help<\/h2>\n<p>We hope that you will use WPML for years to come without needing our support.
