      I just purchased Ultimate specifically for the Chat feature. But the setup for Firebase has changed and when entering the following from your setup guide:

      {
      “rules”: {
      “.read”: “true”,
      “.write”: “true”
      }
      }

      And

      || request.auth == null

      Both lines of code generate errors.

      Can you advise what the updated code should be.

      Thanks

      Hi Kenneth

      I chose the wrong type of firebase database and the data entry options didn’t match up with the WCLovers guide. Once I used the correct DB it went smoothly. The WCLovers documentation on the steps involved is spot on:

      https://docs.wclovers.com/live-chat-firebase-rules/

      Also watch out for:

      Quote: Step 8 : Add “|| request.auth == null” at the last in to the code

      Look at the screen shot – line 4: “allow read, write: if request.auth !=null || request.auth == null;

      In the default settings make sure the “:” is moved from after the first “null” to after the second “null”

      Good luck!
