Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant

A: This is an issue that can occur in rare cases after an update, especially if the new version includes changes to the internal database structure (as was the case in version 1.6). WordPress's update process sometimes doesn't fully execute all the necessary steps to adapt the plugin's database to the new changes. Fortunately, there's a simple and quick fix that will resolve the problem in most cases: manually deactivate and reactivate the plugin. Follow these steps: Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. Navigate to the Plugins > Installed Plugins section. Find the "Chatbot AI Free Models" plugin in the list of installed plugins. Below the plugin name, you will see a Deactivate link. Click on it. Once the plugin has been successfully deactivated, the link will change to Activate. Click on it to reactivate the plugin. This action will force the complete execution of all activation and update scripts included with the plugin, including those for the database. Once reactivated, check your frontend site and the chatbot settings page again. The issue should be resolved, and the chatbot should function correctly. If the problem persists after following these steps, please contact support and provide a detailed description of the issue and the steps you have already tried.

A: You can get an API key from any supported provider: OpenAI (platform.openai.com), OpenRouter (openrouter.ai), Anthropic (console.anthropic.com), Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com), DeepSeek, Groq, xAI, Together AI, Mistral, or Perplexity. OpenRouter is a convenient choice because a single free key unlocks access to 500+ models from many providers.

A: You can customize the chatbot's appearance in the "Style" and "Images" tabs on the settings page.

A: First, check your API key and make sure it's valid and that the correct provider is selected. A: Second, check the status page of your AI provider (for example the OpenRouter status page) to see if there are any known issues with the API. A: Third, if the issue persists, try switching to a different model. Free models can sometimes experience high traffic and connection problems, so experimenting with alternative models might resolve the issue.

A: Yes, the plugin includes an automatic notification system to alert you of new, unread conversations. Here’s how it works: Notification Badge in the Menu: When a user starts a new conversation, a red notification badge with a number will appear next to the 'Chatbot' menu item in your WordPress admin sidebar. This number does not represent individual messages, but rather the total number of conversations that contain at least one unread message. Detailed Tooltip: If you hover your mouse over the "Chatbot" menu item, a tooltip will provide more details (e.g., "You have 2 unread conversations"). Highlighting in the Table: Once you navigate to the 'Messages' tab, unread conversations are easy to spot because the entire row is displayed in bold text. How to Mark as Read: To mark a conversation as 'read' and decrease the notification counter, simply click on the conversation's row to view its messages. The action is automatic, and the bold styling will disappear.
