 * I need to activate only via shortcode because the plugin use third part cookies.
   
   When user accept cookie, the shortcode will launch. But if i remove Show floating
   box, the chat will not show.

 * Hi [@gemedj89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemedj89/)
    are you using 
   the shortcode and not the floating box, right? Are you using a shortcode like
   this?
 *     ```
       [cresta-facebook-messenger text="Need Help?" icon="yes" position="top"]
       ```
   
 * Because I made a test and tried to disable “Show floating box” but I see the 
   box on the page where I placed the shortcode.
    Best Regards, CrestaProject
