Hello cloudduster (@cloudduster),
Thank you for asking this question as several people have made inquires about this already.
Conversation logging is on the roadmap for a release in the very near future. I’m considering several different approaches to make this most useful.
The approach currently under consideration is to have a table in the WordPress Database where each interaction is logged as a row in the table.
The table would include columns such as and ID, date/time, chatbot/visitor and text of the interaction.
With conversation loggin turned on, should the chatbot get a lot of interaction, the DB will grow quickly. A manual or automated archiving or deletion methodology is needed.
So, I have a bit of work to do around this. Watch this space for developments.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback, as it helps me continually improve and provide a better experience for our users.

Thank you for your reply.

Hello Mac,
I decided to work on this now. So, watch for logging to be included in Version 1.7.6 which should be released shortly – most likely in the coming week.

Oh wow, thanks. This is exciting.

Hello Mac,
Conversation logging is live with version 1.7.7 of Chatbot ChatGPT for WordPress!!!
I’m very excited about this and looking forward to some feedback.
Stephen
Super speedy! Thanks. I’ll surely be checking it out.
So I went ahead and Download Data under Download Conversation Data and it says “error reading file”.
I’m pretty sure it ain’t empty because I’m chatting the bot myself.
Hello cloudduster (@cloudduster),
Upon installation, conversation logging is OFF by default.
You can check the setting on the “Reporting” tab? It should be “On”.
You can also set the retention period for conversations.
If all that looks good, can you check your WP DB?
Look for a table called “*_chatbot_chatgpt_converation_log”.
Let me know what you find out.
Stephen
Table “_chatbot_chatgpt_converation_log” exists and I can read all the conversations in message_text, along with the other columns. I don’t see any garbled messages in this table.
Hello cloudduster (@cloudduster),
Are there any messages in the debug.log that might give us a clue?
If you’re on discord, I can get online in a bit and we can look together.

Hello cloudduster (@cloudduster),
Question, are you running your code on localhost or on a sever?
When I run on a localhost, I have lots of issues with file handling.
Let me know.
Stephen
