Activation & Initial Setup
Activating the Plugin
Once you have installed the Supervised AI Bots plugin, you must activate it to enable the chatbot features on your WordPress site.
- Navigate to the Plugins menu in your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
- Locate Supervised AI Bots in your list of installed plugins.
- Click the Activate link.
Once activated, the plugin will create a dedicated management interface in your sidebar.
Accessing the Settings Menu
To configure your chatbots, you need to access the plugin’s administrative dashboard:
- Look for the Supervised AI Bots menu item in the left-hand navigation sidebar of your WordPress admin area.
- Click on the menu item to open the Bot Configuration page.
Initial Configuration
Before displaying a chatbot on your site, you must provide the source URLs for your Supervised AI instances.
1. Adding Bot URLs
In the settings page, you will find a textarea labeled for bot URLs.
- Enter the full URL of your Supervised AI chatbot.
- Add only one URL per line.
- The plugin automatically assigns an ID to each bot based on its line number (the first line is ID 1, the second is ID 2, and so on).
2. Saving Settings
After entering your URLs, click the Save Settings button. This registers your bots and prepares them for shortcode integration.
Deploying Your First Bot
To display a chatbot on a specific page or post, use the [supervised_ai_bot] shortcode. The id attribute corresponds to the row number of the URL you entered in the settings.
Usage Example
To display the bot listed on the first line of your settings:
[supervised_ai_bot id="1"]
To display the bot listed on the third line:
[supervised_ai_bot id="3"]
When the page is viewed, a blue circular chat icon will appear in the bottom-right corner. Clicking this icon will launch the chatbot in a responsive popup overlay.
