Installation Guide

Installation Requirements

Before installing the Supervised AI Bots plugin, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

• WordPress: Version 5.0 or higher.
• PHP: Version 7.4 or higher.
• Supervised AI Account: You must have your chatbot URLs ready from the Supervised AI platform.

Standard Installation (WordPress Dashboard)

The easiest way to install the plugin is directly through your WordPress admin area.

1. Download the Plugin: Obtain the plugin ZIP file from the Supervised AI Bots WordPress Plugin Page.
2. Upload Plugin:
   • Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
   • Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
   • Click the Upload Plugin button at the top of the page.
   • Choose the downloaded supervised-ai-bots.zip file and click Install Now.
3. Activate: Once the installation is complete, click the Activate Plugin button.

Manual Installation (FTP/SFTP)

If you prefer to install the plugin via FTP or if your server environment restricts dashboard uploads:

1. Extract the Files: Unzip the supervised-ai-bots.zip file on your local computer.
2. Connect to Server: Access your WordPress server using an FTP client (like FileZilla) or your hosting provider’s File Manager.
3. Upload Directory: Navigate to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
4. Transfer Files: Upload the extracted supervised-ai-bots folder into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
5. Activate:
   • Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
   • Navigate to the Plugins screen.
   • Locate Supervised AI Bots in the list and click Activate.

Post-Installation Setup

After activation, you must configure the plugin to connect to your Supervised AI chatbots.

1. Configure Bot URLs

1. Navigate to the Supervised AI Bots settings page in the WordPress admin sidebar.
2. In the provided textarea, enter the URLs of your chatbots.
3. Important: Enter only one URL per line.
4. Click Save Changes.

2. Verify Integration

To confirm the installation is working correctly, you can use the built-in shortcode on any post or page:

[supervised_ai_bot id="1"]

Note: The id attribute corresponds to the row number of the bot URL you entered in the settings page (e.g., id="1" for the first URL, id="2" for the second).

Troubleshooting Installation

• Permissions: Ensure the /wp-content/plugins/ directory has write permissions (usually 755 or 775).
• Memory Limit: If the upload fails, check if your upload_max_filesize in php.ini is at least 8MB.
• Conflict Check: If the settings page does not appear, ensure you do not have another plugin with a conflicting slug (supervised-ai-bots).
