AskX

Give your WordPress site an AI-powered customer support chatbot that uses your site content as context.
AskX is an agentic AI chatbot that answers visitors using a knowledge base built from your own data. This plugin connects your WordPress site to AskX through secure, API-key-protected REST endpoints — so the chatbot can answer using the content you choose to expose.
<h4>Why Use This Plugin?</h4>
This plugin creates a direct, authenticated data connection between WordPress and AskX. You control exactly which content types are shared — posts, pages, WooCommerce products, custom post types — and AskX uses that content for customer support and site-related answers.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Full WordPress Integration — AskX connects directly with your WordPress 
site through secure REST APIs. You choose exactly which content types to 
share: posts, pages, comments, users, and custom post types.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Support — When WooCommerce is active, product list/single 
endpoints and single-order-by-ID order endpoints are available. Orders 
cannot be listed in bulk; use a known order ID (for example for order-status 
lookups). Your chatbot can help visitors find products and answer 
store-related questions.</li>
<li>Works With Any Site — Compatible with standard WordPress sites, 
WooCommerce stores, LearnDash courses, BuddyPress/BuddyBoss communities, 
booking platforms, and any site using custom post types.</li>
<li>Simple Setup — Install the plugin, select your content types, download 
the JSON configuration file, and upload it to AskX. Your chatbot is connected.</li>
<li>Chatbot Display — Enter your AskX Chatbot ID in the plugin settings. 
The widget loads automatically on your frontend using standard WordPress 
script enqueueing.</li>
<li>Customizable AI Behavior — In AskX, configure how the chatbot responds: 
set system prompts, add predefined questions, and adjust parameters like 
creativity level and response length.</li>
<li>Visual Widget Builder — Design your chatbot widget in AskX to match 
your site theme and branding.</li>
<li>Knowledge Base Training — Train the AskX chatbot using uploaded documents, 
website URLs, or your WordPress content via this plugin API connection.</li>
<li>API-Key Security — Every API request requires authentication. No data 
is exposed without a valid API key</li>
</ul>
<h4>How AskX Uses Your Content</h4>
AskX builds its knowledge base from three types of input: documents (PDFs), website URLs, and WordPress content via API. This plugin provides a direct API integration: authenticated REST endpoints so AskX can read structured WordPress and WooCommerce data you enable, keeping answers aligned with your site as content changes.
<h4>How to Connect</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Choose which content types to expose in the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Download the API Configuration JSON file.</li>
<li>In AskX, provide the JSON during chatbot creation or via the “Connect WordPress” option.</li>
<li>Enter your AskX Chatbot ID in the plugin to display the chatbot on your site.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Available Endpoint Groups</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress core: posts, pages, users, comments</li>
<li>WooCommerce (if active): products (list and single); orders (single order by ID only, no list-all)</li>
<li>Custom post types: all public CPTs</li>
<li>Search: unified search across all enabled types</li>
<li>Chatbot-optimized: endpoints formatted for AI consumption</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who Is This For?</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress site owners who want AI-powered customer support that uses their published content</li>
<li>WooCommerce stores needing product-aware chatbot assistance</li>
<li>Agencies managing multiple WordPress sites with AskX</li>
<li>Developers building AI integrations with WordPress content</li>
</ul>
<h3>Third-party services</h3>
This plugin integrates with AskX-related services used from your site or browser.
1. AskX Blog API (admin screen)
<ul>
<li>Service: <code>https://askx.io</code></li>
<li>Purpose: display latest AskX news cards in the plugin admin page.</li>
<li>Data sent: pagination parameters (<code>page</code>, <code>page_size</code>, <code>is_published</code>) in a server-to-server request. Your API key is not included.</li>
<li>Trigger: when an admin opens the plugin settings screen or uses pagination controls.</li>
</ul>
2. AskX connection flow (browser)
<ul>
<li>Service: AskX web application (e.g., <code>https://askx.io/admin</code>).</li>
<li>Purpose: let AskX receive the configuration it needs to call your site’s REST APIs.</li>
<li>How it works: a site administrator completes the AskX Website Connection consent screen in wp-admin. On approval, the plugin sends a message to the AskX browser window using the standard <code>postMessage</code> API (no server-to-server HTTP request). On denial, only a denial status is sent.</li>
<li>Trigger: only when an administrator explicitly approves or denies on the consent screen.</li>
</ul>
3. AskX Chatbot Widget (frontend)
<ul>
<li>Service: <code>https://askx.io</code></li>
<li>Purpose: loads the AskX chatbot widget for site visitors.</li>
<li>Data sent: visitor chat messages are sent to AskX servers for AI processing.</li>
<li>Trigger: on every frontend page load when a valid Chatbot ID is saved and the widget is enabled.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Privacy</h3>
<h4>Data stored on your site</h4>
<ul>
<li>API key — authenticates requests to this plugin’s REST routes (stored in wp_options).</li>
<li>Exposed API types — your content-sharing preferences.</li>
<li>AskX Chatbot ID — used to load the chatbot widget.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data returned by REST API</h4>
When a valid API key is supplied, responses include WordPress and WooCommerce data according to your Exposed API Types settings. Prefer the <code>X-API-Key</code> header over query parameters to prevent accidental key exposure in logs.
<h4>Data sent to AskX</h4>
<ul>
<li>Admin screen: pagination parameters for blog/news cards (no API key sent).</li>
<li>Connection flow: site URL and API key via browser <code>postMessage</code> on explicit admin approval.</li>
<li>JSON export: downloaded locally — the plugin does not send it to AskX automatically.</li>
<li>Frontend visitors: chat messages are sent to AskX for AI processing when the widget is active.</li>
</ul>

Important Notice for Users Updating to Version 1.6.6+
The latest update improves the plugin’s file structure for better performance. As a result, the default paths for some images (like the chatbot icon and avatars) have changed.
If you notice that the chatbot button or avatars are not appearing after the update, it is almost certainly due to your browser or website’s cache.
Solution: Please perform a “hard refresh” in your browser (Ctrl+F5 on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). If you use a caching plugin (like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WP Fastest Cache etc.), please purge all caches from your plugin’s settings. This will solve the issue.

<h3>Configuration – Setting up your AI Chatbot</h3>
<ol>
<li>Get a Free API Key from OpenRouter.ai (Yes, it’s free!). OpenRouter offers access to over 400 models, including ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and many others, all at competitive prices!</li>
<li>Enter your OpenRouter API Key in the “Settings” tab.</li>
<li>Choose an AI Model. Free models have the suffix “:free” at the end of their name. Note that all models are accessed THROUGH OpenRouter, regardless of the original provider.</li>
<li>Provide context about your website in the “Information for responses” field.</li>
<li>Customize the chatbot’s appearance in the “Style” and “Images” tabs.</li>
<li>Click “Save settings”. Remember to refresh your website (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R) after saving, otherwise the changes may not be displayed correctly due to caching.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Message and IP Saving</h3>
You can enable or disable the saving of chat messages and user IP addresses in the “Messages” tab of the settings page. Message saving is disabled by default for privacy reasons. If enabled, all chat messages and IP addresses will be stored securely within the plugin’s dedicated database.
Using a dedicated database offers several advantages:
<ul>
<li>Simplified Management: All chatbot-related data is contained in a single location, making it easier to manage and maintain.</li>
<li>Reduced Impact: Storing data separately minimizes the impact on your website’s core database performance.</li>
</ul>
Important: If you choose to enable message and IP saving, you MUST update your website’s privacy policy to reflect this data collection practice and inform your users accordingly. You are responsible for complying with all applicable privacy laws.
