supervised-ai-bots.zipfile and click Install Now.

Manual Installation (FTP/SFTP)
If you prefer to install the plugin via FTP or if your server environment restricts dashboard uploads:
- Extract the Files: Unzip the
supervised-ai-bots.zipfile on your local computer. - Connect to Server: Access your WordPress server using an FTP client (like FileZilla) or your hosting provider’s File Manager.
- Upload Directory: Navigate to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Transfer Files: Upload the extracted
supervised-ai-botsfolder into the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate:
- Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to the Plugins screen.

Post-Installation Setup
After activation, you must configure the plugin to connect to your Supervised AI chatbots.
1. Configure Bot URLs
- Navigate to the Supervised AI Bots settings page in the WordPress admin sidebar.
- In the provided textarea, enter the URLs of your chatbots.
- Important: Enter only one URL per line.
- 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 (usually755or775). - Memory Limit: If the upload fails, check if your
upload_max_filesizeinphp.iniis 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).
