Live Chat: Different windows open based on Classic and Default View #62420

Open nerdysandy opened 2 years ago

Quick summary

If you access chat from within your account and click on Contact Us, you will notice that it takes you to a different window depending on whether you access it from Classic View or the Default View.

(It wouldn't upload recording because of size limit, sorry)

Steps to reproduce

1 - Go to your site account, click on the Fab icon to start chat, click on Contact Us, and notice which window opens. 2 - Now click on the View dropdown at the top right and click on Classic View (or Default View if you were already in Classic View) 3 - Access the Live chat FAB icon again, click on Contact Us.

What you expected to happen

It should open the same chat window/UI for both the Views. Users should always be taken to the Help page https://wordpress.com/help because that has list of helpful resources and a link to Contact Support if needed.

What actually happened

It takes you to different links and pages for each of the Views as shown in the screen recording above.

Thanks @nerdysandy for the report.

I can confirm that this is indeed the case, and needs to be investigated for a consistent experience irrespective of the view.

Clicking on FAB icon while being on Default View opens a popup where you can then click on the "More Help" section to reach the dedicated help page inside WordPress.com.

Whereas clicking on FAB icon while being of Classic View directly opens the new page which is a dedicated help page inside WordPress.com.

Moved this to Vertex's column - but with the changes to the Help Center and Help Icon/Chat window - this may no longer be an issue
