<p>ActionPanel AI gives you a built-in AI helper directly inside wp-admin for troubleshooting, maintenance checks, and approved site maintenance actions.</p>
<p>Instead of switching between Site Health, plugin screens, settings pages, docs, and browser tabs, you can ask questions in plain English and get answers that are shaped around the site you are working on.</p>
<h4>What ActionPanel AI can help with</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Site troubleshooting:</strong> Ask what might be broken, why a page is returning an error, why links are failing, or what to check after a site change.</li>
<li><strong>Performance checks:</strong> Review plugin bloat, autoloaded options, homepage assets, scheduled task backlogs, and other common causes of slow WordPress sites.</li>
<li><strong>Plugin and theme review:</strong> Find outdated, duplicated, inactive, or potentially risky plugins and themes, then get plain-language next steps.</li>
<li><strong>Site Health summaries:</strong> Turn WordPress Site Health, REST/runtime details, and maintenance signals into a prioritized explanation of what matters.</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce checks:</strong> Review common store setup areas such as checkout pages, payment gateways, shipping zones, and basic configuration.</li>
<li><strong>Debug log help:</strong> When log reads are enabled, use sanitized excerpts from a readable WordPress debug log file to help explain errors and warnings.</li>
<li><strong>Guided maintenance actions:</strong> When write operations are enabled, ActionPanel AI can propose supported maintenance actions and explain what they do before you approve them.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Common tasks</h4>
<p>Use ActionPanel AI when you need to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Check whether a site is ready for plugin, theme, or WordPress core updates.</li>
<li>Understand why a page, checkout, form, or permalink may not be working.</li>
<li>Review plugin clutter before cleaning up a site.</li>
<li>Get a plain-English summary of Site Health and maintenance issues.</li>
<li>Investigate slow pages without jumping between multiple admin screens.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for wp-admin workflows</h4>
<p>ActionPanel AI lives in the WordPress dashboard, keeps recent conversations available in a sidebar, and includes starter prompts for common maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.</p>
<p>It is designed for site owners, developers, agencies, and support teams who want faster analysis rather than spending hours digging through admin screens or documentation.</p>
<h4>Site context it can use</h4>
<p>ActionPanel AI is built around WordPress maintenance workflows. It can use selected WordPress context such as plugin and theme details, Site Health results, REST/runtime information, scheduled tasks, performance signals, WooCommerce setup, same-site page checks, template information, and approved debug log excerpts.</p>
<p>Supported write operations are limited to specific maintenance actions such as flushing rewrite rules, updating allowlisted settings, clearing caches, and running approved maintenance tasks.</p>
<h4>You stay in control</h4>
<ul>
<li>Admin-only access inside WordPress.</li>
<li>Optional per-request approval before site data is shared.</li>
<li>Optional 72-hour read-only debug log sharing that can be turned off anytime.</li>
<li>Proposed write changes always require explicit approval and are never auto-applied.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to an external service at <code>https://api.wpassistant.ai</code>.<br />
Plugin UI JavaScript/CSS assets are bundled locally in the plugin (not remote-loaded), and any external links shown in the UI are only opened through user-initiated navigation.</p>
<p>Requests are sent when:</p>
<ul>
<li>An administrator enables assistant features and uses chat/diagnostic tools.</li>
<li>The assistant requests additional site data needed to answer a troubleshooting question.</li>
<li>Account/login features are used.</li>
<li>Optional “Allow Log Reads (72h)” is enabled to read sanitized excerpts from a readable WordPress debug log file when <code>WP_DEBUG_LOG</code> is set to an absolute file path.</li>
<li>WordPress personal data export/erase tools are used for ActionPanel AI data.</li>
</ul>
<p>Data may include (depending on feature use):</p>
<ul>
<li>Chat messages.</li>
<li>Site diagnostics/context.</li>
<li>Site configuration summaries, including plugin/theme details, WordPress settings, REST/runtime, and performance diagnostics.</li>
<li>Same-site diagnostic HTTP results, such as response status, selected headers, asset URLs, and redacted text previews from pages an administrator asks the assistant to inspect.</li>
<li>Sanitized excerpts from a readable WordPress debug log file (only if enabled).</li>
<li>Sampled or masked user/account metadata used for troubleshooting.</li>
<li>Sanitized home-root server configuration snippets and drop-in metadata.</li>
<li>Allowlisted theme or upload file metadata or text contents, plus plugin manifests, needed for troubleshooting.</li>
<li>Session/auth metadata required for service operation.</li>
<li>Email address and site URL for account and privacy workflows.</li>
</ul>
<p>Safeguards:</p>
<ul>
<li>External API calls are disabled by default on fresh installs until an administrator completes setup.</li>
<li>“Per-Request Approval for Reads” can require a preview and approval before site data is shared.</li>
<li>“Allow Log Reads (72h)” is optional, read-only, requires <code>WP_DEBUG_LOG</code> to be set to an absolute debug log file path, and can be turned off at any time.</li>
<li>AI initiated write operations require explicit approval before live changes are applied.</li>
</ul>
<p>Service policies:</p>
<ul>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://wpassistant.ai/privacy/</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://wpassistant.ai/terms/</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>ActionPanel AI can send prompts and selected troubleshooting context to external ActionPanel AI services when used.<br />
Depending on feature use, this can also include conversation history, configuration summaries, plugin/theme details, selected WordPress settings, sampled or masked user/account metadata, sanitized home-root server configuration snippets, plugin/drop-in metadata, and allowlisted theme or upload file metadata or contents needed for troubleshooting.<br />
Optional log sharing includes sanitized excerpts from a readable WordPress debug log file only when enabled. The plugin does not create, write, rotate, or relocate log files.<br />
Anonymous plugin session chat data is retained for up to 7 days before automatic deletion.</p>
<h3>Data Export and Erasure</h3>
<p>For account-linked data, WordPress Tools -> Export Personal Data and Tools -> Erase Personal Data can request site-scoped export/erase by email.<br />
The plugin exposes a public privacy-proof REST endpoint that returns only a challenge signature and site host; this lets ActionPanel AI verify site control before processing remote personal data export or erasure requests.</p>
<h3>Source Code For Bundled Assets</h3>
<p>The distributed JavaScript/CSS bundle in <code>/build</code> is generated from source included in this plugin package at:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/assets-src/frontend</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Build/reproduction notes are included at:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/assets-src/BUILD.md</code></li>
</ul>

WP Mail Debugger

I "found" this plugin when its creator presented it at WCPhx 2020. Its extremely easy to use, and is helpful in a day and age when SPFF and DKIM issues make debugging mail tough. Show your users the mail is going out. Or as a plugin developer, use it to review output.

This is so good
