I am trying to add tawk.to chat widget to my django site. I used the Django-tawkto package from https://pypi.org/project/django-tawkto/. But still, it's not showing the widget on the page. Here is the output of my page: My Django template for where I want to use tawk.to chat widget
I did check the page source and I can see the tawk.to script over there. But it's not working. I don't know why?
page source for above Django template
Please help me out here. Thanks in Advance.
The problem was not with the code. It's because I was running it on the local machine. Tawk.to Script doesn't work on the local machine. It works fine when you upload it on the server.
I talked with the tawk.to support agent and he gave me a solution.
Add the below meta tag and then place the Django tawk.to tag in the head section. Both tags should be inside the head section.
<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer-when-downgrade">
{% tawkto_script %}
if the above code doesn't work, replace the tag with the following. use your correct widget id.
{% tawkto_script widget_id='somewidgetid' %}
For me, the solution was to add:
SECURE_REFERRER_POLICY = "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
To settings.py.
You should read the docs for this setting carefully to decide whether it's an acceptable security change for your site.
For those using the tawk to script without installing any packages:
Just add the meta tag inside the <head> </head>:
<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer-when-downgrade">
and paste the tawk.to script before the </body> tag.
This works smooth.
