Description

AANYA AI Chatbot connects your WordPress site to an AI assistant you configure and train at AANYA.ai. Open Settings AANYA Chatbot, click Authorize with AANYA, sign in on aanya.ai, and return to WordPress. Manage training, appearance, conversations, leads, and store features directly in WordPress Admin (no iframe). The chat widget appears on your site when published — no theme editing required.

On eligible AANYA plans, visitors can use Connect human to reach a live agent (availability is controlled in AANYA Live Desk).

WooCommerce (optional)

If WooCommerce is installed, you can opt in (per data type) to share catalog, order, or customer fields with AANYA so the chatbot can answer shop questions. Customer sharing defaults to off.

External services

This plugin connects to the AANYA.ai service (https://www.aanya.ai) to provide the chat widget, native admin studio APIs, and optional store sync.

Data that may be sent:

Site URL and WordPress admin origin (for authorize)
Chatbot ID and embed token (stored in your WordPress options after you authorize)
Studio API requests for chatbot settings, knowledge, conversations, and leads (admin only)
Storefront widget requests for configuration and chat messages (visitor messages and related session data)
If you enable WooCommerce sharing: product fields (name, price, stock, description, URL), order fields (id, status, total, billing email), and/or customer fields (id, email, name)

Changelog

1.1.12

Auto-fix install folder: if the plugin lives in aanya-ai-chatbot-1.1.x, it renames to aanya-ai-chatbot when an admin opens wp-admin (so WordPress.org updates work without asking each client).

1.1.11

Fix: Authorize no longer fails with “invalid security token” after returning from AANYA (OAuth uses one-time state, not a fragile WP nonce in return_url).

1.1.10

Security hardening notes for Plugin Check; AJAX/uninstall nonces unchanged.

1.1.9

Fix: fatal “Cannot redeclare aanya_chatbot_init()” when two plugin folders are present.
Zip installs into aanya-ai-chatbot/ so upgrades replace the same plugin directory.

1.1.8

Studio tip note: manage more settings from the Aanya.ai dashboard with registered credentials.

1.1.7

Meridian template locks Light theme; brand-color hint so accents stay visible.
Enterprise upgrade opens AANYA pricing with subject prefilled (via API upgrade_url).

1.1.6

Studio UI aligned with Shopify: piano tabs, primary buttons, live CSS widget-template mocks (no broken images).
Knowledge training library list with View / Remove action pills (Shopify Knowledge Forge style).

1.1.5

Knowledge: Shopify-style crawl loader, progress bar, and disabled Start crawl while a job runs (prevents duplicate clicks).

1.1.4

Widget settings UI aligned with Shopify (template preview cards, form layout, theme pills, brand color + hex).
Plan chip: Manage plan / Upgrade links open AANYA billing from WordPress Admin.
Preview widget Connect human enabled (widget build 114).

1.1.3

Fix: native studio bootstrap “Not connected to AANYA” after a successful Authorize (credentials passed reliably to admin-ajax; option storage hardened).
Clearer errors when the server cannot reach www.aanya.ai over HTTPS.

1.1.2

Fix: settings page slug aligned to aanya-ai-chatbot so Authorize / return / disconnect no longer hit “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”
Legacy page=aanya-chatbot return URLs are still accepted.

1.1.1

Internationalization: text domain updated to match plugin slug aanya-ai-chatbot.
Security: sanitize/validate logo and knowledge document uploads (filename, MIME, is_uploaded_file).
Front-end widget loads current AANYA CDN build (includes Connect human / Live Desk support).

1.1.0

Native WordPress Admin studio — no iframe.
Chatbot settings, knowledge, conversations, leads, and store features via AANYA studio APIs.
Authorize flow, widget inject, and WooCommerce sync unchanged.

1.0.2

WordPress.org packaging: LICENSE, languages path, External services disclosure.
Restored compact WooCommerce data-sharing settings when connected.
Compliance and i18n hardening for Plugin Directory review.

1.0.1

Professional WordPress connect screen.
After authorize: full-page AANYA studio iframe with Uninstall only.

1.0.0

Initial release — widget inject, authorize flow, optional WooCommerce sync.
