Create a generic support center
You should use this method only if your purpose is to create a single generic support center displayed throughout your website.
The generic support center can also be used as a fallback, in order to have a generic support center if there are no specific support centers.
To create a generic support center you have to enable the “Use in Template” option in the Support Center Pro meta box and paste the related function just before the body tag of your theme, usually located in the footer.php file.
<?php put_support_center(x); ?> </body>
