</li>
</ul>
<h3>🛡️ Power Mode for High-Impact Actions</h3>
To protect your website from accidental or harmful changes, the AI Agent for WordPress includes a built-in safety layer called Power Mode.
Power Mode is disabled by default to ensure that high-impact actions are never executed without your explicit confirmation. When you request a potentially irreversible operation, the Agent will pause and alert you before proceeding.
Actions that require Power Mode ON include:
<ul>
<li>
Deletions: posts, pages, categories, tags, users, media files, plugins, themes, products, orders.
</li>
<li>
Bulk operations: mass-editing post titles, updating URLs across multiple pages, mass-deleting drafts.
</li>
<li>
Create, edit, and delete users
</li>
<li>
Updating global site settings
</li>
<li>
Creating, updating, or deleting WooCommerce products and orders
</li>
</ul>
By combining AI automation with built-in safeguards, SiteGround ensures you get speed and convenience without compromising safety.
<h3>🌐 Manage Multiple Sites in Bulk</h3>
Connect any number of WordPress sites to SiteGround AI Studio and manage them all from a single AI-powered workspace. Turn repetitive wp-admin logins into one set of instructions that instantly runs across your connected sites.
<ul>
<li>
Push plugin and theme updates across your entire portfolio with one command.
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
Perform bulk content changes such as updating text or URLs across dozens of pages on multiple sites.
</li>
<li>
Standardize WordPress settings like site title or timezone across all connected sites instantly.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>✨ AI Connector</h3>
The plugin also enables SiteGround AI as an AI connector for your WordPress. SiteGround AI is a multi-model AI service that intelligently routes each task to the best-suited LLM, optimizing for output quality and cost efficiency. It powers WordPress AI features, including text, image, and code generation, translation, research, analysis, and more. It orchestrates several models – Gemini, Nano Banana, ChatGPT, GPT-Image, Claude – and automatically selects the best one for each job.
Install the AI Agent by SiteGround plugin, create a free account for SiteGround AI Studio service, and the connector activates automatically. No API key is needed to activate.
In the plugin you have separate settings to activate and deactivate the SiteGround AI Connector separately from the AI agent. If you deactivate the Connector it will stop powering up AI features in the WP admin, enabled by the AI plugin. Disconnecting the SiteGround AI Connector will not affect the work of the AI agent – it will remain active until you disable this plugin entirely. <a href="https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ai-agent-wordpress/enable-siteground-ai-provider/" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn More.</a>

AI Agent by SiteGround


siteground installed this plugin plugin automatically when 7.0 rolled out, without my consent. That’s a huge security issue and I’ll be moving hosts. 


Auto installed without consent


Siteground have no right to add plugins to my sites, and certainly not without my consent, without any notification and without the ability to opt-out.



I am paying you to provide hosting, not so you can randomly deploy your own software onto my domains. I find it wholly unnacceptable that you've done this, and can’t believe that anyone internally signed this off as acceptable. 


Auto-installed without consent, or notification


I found this plugin installed, activated and connected to SiteGround AI Studio on all my WordPress sites, without a clear explicit opt-in from me.



This is not acceptable.



I manage client websites, including WooCommerce stores, and I need full control over every plugin and external connector added to them.



An AI agent connected to WordPress is not a minor feature. It should be something users actively choose to install and connect, not something they discover afterwards.



I removed it from my sites.



The problem is not AI. The problem is trust. This should be strictly opt-in.


Auto-installed, auto-activated and auto-connected. Why?


This plugin has been installed and activated on all my Siteground-hosted sites without my authorization or even knowledge.



Once confronted about this, Siteground support tried to lie about it, stating that they did send out a notice and allowed users to opt out. That is a lie, nothing beyond default update notice for 7.0 WP Core update was sent. 



Initially the support refused to clean up this mess, trying to shift the burden on me, but after some pushback agreed to remove the plugin themselves. As of time of publication this has not happened yet.



I believe this plugin should be banned from the repository for trying to game usage stats by sneakily boosting user numbers without site owners' consent. It might even qualify as a cybersecurity incident.


Unauthorized installation and activation


Again, another voice to the hundreds to say this plugin was auto installed, connected and setup without consent. There was an email saying so, but yeah not great.


Auto Installed, connected and setup


THIS WAS AUTO INSTALLED ON MY SIITE! I DID NOT ASK OR WANT FOR THIS TO BE INSTALLED EVER!!!



You need to give the clients the ability to opt-in to having this plugin on their site, not just opt-in everyone if you have hosting services with SiteGround! That is very very bad! 



It also was unstable and caused an error to be displayed in the WP Admin. I removed it immediately and installed a plugin to disable all Wordpress AI features. Removing the plugin caused the error to go away and all related errors in the debug log have been resolved.



I do not trust SiteGround anymore.


Did not ask for this to be installed automatically


You should never, ever FREAKING EVER!!! install a plugin on an existing site without the customer's permission!!!!! 



Additionally, it broke the website with fatal errors.



Siteground has really gone down the tubes in the last bunch of years. They were THE BEST when they launched, now I struggle to recommend them at all.



Note the only acceptable reply to this is, "We are sorry. We will not do something like this again."


Siteground installed this without permission, crashes site


THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!Seriously though, you should know better.


WHEN WILL YOU LEARN.


Installed without consent. Are you kidding me?


Installed without consent.


For site owners, especially organizations in regulated industries, adding AI functionality is not a minor change. It raises real concerns around privacy, compliance, data handling, user trust, accessibility, security review, and governance. Anything AI-related needs to be intentionally evaluated before it is added to a production website. Absolute joke of a decision.


This is a disaster. Should never have been a thought


This was installed and activated without consent.


Auto installed without permission


Forced install. We did not want this plugin. Caused support work.


Thought site was hacked first but it was a forced install


Installing this completely useless plugin without consent is just typical SiteGround. Like with SiteGround Central and all the other bloat. Deserved 1 star.


Typical SiteGround
