<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to an API provided by Cohere (https://cohere.com) to perform AI-powered filtering of WordPress posts and custom post types. It sends the prompt entered by the admin to Cohere’s <code>/v2/chat</code> endpoint. The API responds with a set of WP_Query arguments based on understanding of the prompt.
<h3>Details of the API integration</h3>
<ul>
<li>
What the service is: 
The plugin integrates with the Cohere Chat API (https://cohere.com), a third-party AI service that specializes in natural language understanding and generation.
</li>
<li>
What it is used for: 
The API is used to analyze admin-entered prompts and return relevant WP_Query arguments. These are used by the plugin to filter posts or custom post types intelligently, enabling semantic searching in the WordPress admin area.
</li>
<li>
What Data is Sent:
<ul>
<li>The prompt entered by the WordPress admin is sent to the Cohere API. No personal user or customer data is collected or transmitted.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Why the data is sent: 
The data is sent so that the Cohere API can understand the context of the content and the user’s intent behind the prompt. This allows it to return accurate WP_Query arguments to filter posts, instead of relying on simple keyword-based filters.
</li>
<li>
When Data is Sent: 
Only when the admin enters a prompt in the plugin interface and initiates the filter action
</li>
<li>
How Data is Sent: 
Data is sent via a secure <code>wp_remote_post()</code> request to <code>https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat</code>
</li>
<li>
Terms and Privacy:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://cohere.com/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Cohere Terms of Use</a></li>
<li><a href="https://cohere.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Cohere Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This API connection is essential for the plugin’s AI features to function. If you choose not to use the AI filtering functionality, the rest of the plugin remains functional.

<h3>Plugin Upgrade Permission Issues</h3>
If you see a “folder permission” or “update failed” error while upgrading this plugin, it means WordPress does not have permission to replace the existing plugin folder. This issue occurs due to file/folder permissions or ownership on the server.
Please follow the steps below or share them with your hosting provider:
<ol>
<li>
Ensure the following recommended WordPress permissions:
<ul>
<li>Folders: 755</li>
<li>Files: 644</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Verify that all WordPress files are owned by the web server user:
<ul>
<li>www-data (Ubuntu/Debian)</li>
<li>apache (CentOS/RedHat)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Ask your hosting provider to correct ownership and permissions using: 
chown -R : /path/to/wordpress/ 
find /path/to/wordpress/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; 
find /path/to/wordpress/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
</li>
<li>
Make sure no security plugins or hosting rules are blocking file deletion during updates.
</li>
<li>
If your hosting requires FTP credentials for updates, enter them in: 
WordPress Admin → Updates → Enter FTP details.
</li>
</ol>
If the issue continues, please contact your hosting provider and ask them to “fix WordPress file permissions and ownership.” This will resolve the problem in most cases.
