## Description

This plugin by [Zactonz Technologies](https://zactonz.com/) provides [Ollama](https://ollama.com/)
integration for the WordPress AI Client. It lets WordPress sites use large language
models running locally, on a remote self-hosted Ollama instance, or on Ollama Cloud
for text and image generation and other AI capabilities.

**Disclaimer:** Zactonz AI Connector: Ollama is developed by Zactonz Technologies.
Ollama is a third-party project. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by,
or sponsored by Ollama.

Ollama exposes an [OpenAI-compatible API](https://ollama.com/blog/openai-compatibility),
and this connector uses that API to communicate with any model you have pulled into
Ollama (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, and many more).

**Features:**

 * Text generation with any Ollama model
 * Image generation with supported models
 * Automatic model discovery from your Ollama instance
 * Function calling support
 * Structured output (JSON mode) support
 * Connector integration for Settings > Connectors with an Ollama Cloud or self-
   hosted connection switch
 * Separate saved API keys for Ollama Cloud and protected self-hosted endpoints
 * Self-hosted host URL and port controls, default model selection, thinking mode,
   and model discovery from the selected endpoint
 * Admin text request timeout for slow local or thinking responses
 * Works without an API key for local instances

**Requirements:**

 * PHP 7.4 or higher
 * WordPress 7.0 or higher
 * Ollama running locally or on a remote server (like Ollama Cloud)

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/zactonz-ai-provider-ollama/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Connectors** to choose Ollama Cloud or a self-hosted Ollama 
    connection.
 4. Add the required Ollama Cloud API key, or save the self-hosted host URL, port, 
    and optional self-hosted API key.
 5. Go to **Settings > Ollama** to review available models and choose a default model,
    thinking mode, and text request timeout.

## FAQ

### How do I install Ollama?

Visit [ollama.com](https://ollama.com/) to download and install Ollama for your 
platform. Once installed, pull a model (example `ollama pull llama3.2`) and the 
connector will automatically discover it.

### Do I need an API key?

Ollama Cloud requires a valid API key in **Settings > Connectors** or **Settings
> Ollama**.

Self-hosted Ollama does not need an API key by default. If your self-hosted endpoint
is protected, enter the optional self-hosted API key. Cloud and self-hosted keys
are stored separately in Zactonz-owned options and are applied to Ollama provider
requests for the active connection mode.

An `OLLAMA_API_KEY` environment variable or PHP constant can also be used and takes
priority over saved admin keys.

### How do I change the Ollama host URL?

By default, the connector uses `http://localhost:11434`. You can change this in 
two ways:

 1. Set the `OLLAMA_HOST` environment variable (takes precedence).
 2. Choose **Self-hosted** on **Settings > Connectors** or **Settings > Ollama**, then
    enter your host URL or IP and port.
