Manual & Admin Installation

Installation Methods

You can install the Supervised AI Bots plugin either through the WordPress Admin Dashboard or manually via FTP. Before starting, ensure you have downloaded the plugin zip file from the Supervised AI official site.

Option 1: WordPress Admin Dashboard (Recommended)

This is the simplest method for most users.

1. Log in to your WordPress admin area.
2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
3. Click the Upload Plugin button at the top of the page.
4. Click Choose File and select the supervised-ai-bots.zip file you downloaded.
5. Click Install Now.
6. Once the installation is complete, click the Activate Plugin button.

Option 2: Manual Installation via FTP

Use this method if you have restricted permissions on your WordPress dashboard or prefer using an FTP client (like FileZilla).

1. Extract the supervised-ai-bots.zip file on your local computer. This will create a folder named supervised-ai-bots.
2. Connect to your web server using your preferred FTP/SFTP client.
3. Navigate to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation.
4. Upload the entire supervised-ai-bots folder to that directory.
5. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
6. Navigate to the Plugins menu and locate "Supervised AI Bots" in the list.
7. Click Activate.

Post-Installation Configuration

After activation, you must configure your bot URLs to make them available for use on your site.

1. Setting Up Bot URLs

1. In the WordPress sidebar, go to the Supervised AI Bots settings page.
2. Locate the text area provided for bot URLs.
3. Enter the full URL of your Supervised AI chatbot.
4. If you have multiple bots, enter one URL per line.
   • Note: The order of these URLs determines their ID (the first line is ID 1, the second is ID 2, etc.).
5. Click Save Settings.

2. Verifying Installation

To verify the plugin is working correctly, create a test page and insert the following shortcode:

[supervised_ai_bot id="1"]

If configured correctly, a blue circular chat icon will appear at the bottom-right of your page. Clicking this icon will toggle the chatbot popup containing the interface for the bot URL listed on line 1 of your settings.
