Asyntai AI Chatbot

Asyntai

An AI chatbot that answers your visitors from your own pages, posts and products, in their own language, and captures leads.

Download

More Info
Asyntai adds an AI chatbot to your ClassicPress site. It reads your pages and
posts, then answers your visitors in their own language, day and night.

This plugin is a client for Asyntai.com, an external service. Connecting a
free or paid Asyntai account is its primary function. Asyntai hosts the
chatbot, reads your site content and answers your visitors’ messages.

= What it does =
- Answers from your own content. Asyntai reads your pages and posts, so the
  replies match what your site actually says.
- Works in every language. It detects the visitor’s language and answers in it.
- Captures leads. A visitor can leave an email address or a phone number in
  the chat, and it lands in your Asyntai dashboard.
- Shows you what people ask. The chat logs tell you which questions come up
  and which pages leave visitors unsure.
- Runs on any ClassicPress site. A shop, a club, a school, a charity or a blog.
= WooCommerce shops =

If WooCommerce is active, the plugin makes a read-only WooCommerce REST key and
hands it to Asyntai. The chatbot then answers with the product name, today’s
price, the stock level and a link to the product page. Press Reset on the
plugin screen and the key is deleted from your site.

= Pricing =

The plugin is free. Asyntai offers a free plan and paid plans. Because the
chatbot runs as a hosted service, this plugin is listed as Premium under the
ClassicPress directory rules for Software-as-a-Service.

Create an account at Asyntai.com.

External services

This plugin connects to Asyntai.com to enable and run the chatbot.

What is sent, and when:
- When you press Get started, the plugin sends your site address to
  asyntai.com so your account can be linked to this site. Nothing is sent
  before you press it.
- If WooCommerce is active, the plugin also creates a read-only WooCommerce REST
  key on your site and sends it to asyntai.com in the same step, so the chatbot
  can quote the current price, stock and product link.
- While the sign-in window is open, the plugin asks asyntai.com whether you have
  finished. This carries only the one-time token made for that window.
- On your public pages the chatbot script loads from widget.asyntai.com, and
  visitor messages go to asyntai.com to be answered.

2. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
3. Choose the ZIP file and press Install Now.
4. Press Activate Plugin.
5. Open Asyntai AI Chatbot in the sidebar.
6. Press Get started and sign in to Asyntai in the window that opens.
The chatbot appears on your site as soon as the connection is made.

Frequently Asked Questions

= Do I need an Asyntai account? =

Yes. The plugin connects your ClassicPress site to Asyntai, which runs the
chatbot. You can make a free account during the connect step.

= Where does the chatbot get its answers? =

Asyntai reads your public pages and posts. On a WooCommerce shop it also reads
the catalogue through the read-only key.

= How do I remove it? =

Press Reset on the plugin screen, then deactivate and delete the plugin.
Reset also deletes the read-only WooCommerce key from your site.

ClassicPack

Ciprian Popescu

A modular toolkit for ClassicPress and WordPress. Enable modules from the ClassicPack admin screen.

Download

More Info

A modular admin toolkit: one plugin, many optional features. You turn only what you need on from a single place so unused code is never loaded.

Official plugin page: getbutterfly.com — ClassicPack
More plugins from the same author: ClassicPress plugins at getbutterfly.com

What this plugin is for

ClassicPack does not run any optional feature until you enable it. After installation, you open the ClassicPack item in the admin menu, choose the modules you want (grouped by category), and save. Disabled modules are not loaded, which keeps the site lean.

Use ClassicPack if you want several small admin utilities in one place instead of many separate small plugins, with a clear on/off switch for each one.

Quick start (first-time setup)

Install the classicpack folder under wp-content/plugins/ (or install the release zip from your Plugins screen) and activate ClassicPack.
In the admin sidebar, open ClassicPack (top-level menu). You will see checkboxes for each module, grouped (for example: Performance and SEO, Media, Content, Users).
Enable the modules you need and click Save Changes. Only enabled modules are loaded on the next request.
Some modules add their own subpage under ClassicPack (for example User Manager) or a link from the modules list. Others appear only in context (for example a row action on a post list, or a block on a user profile).

If something does not show up, confirm the module is enabled and that you meet the module’s context (for example the post type switcher is for the classic post editor, not the block editor).

Where things appear in the admin

You are looking for…	Where to go
Turn features on or off	ClassicPack (main screen, module toggles)
Module-only settings (when available)	ClassicPack → submenu for that module, or the Settings / Details action on the module row, if shown
Core redirects, email commenters, auto-save images, users online, user manager, etc.	As documented per module in the table below
This README as project documentation	On GitHub or in the plugin folder as `README.md`

Help in the dashboard: ClassicPress and WordPress do not add a “Help” dropdown for third-party plugin screens by default. For ClassicPack, use this README, the readme.txt Description and Frequently Asked Questions sections, and the short text under each module on the ClassicPack screen.

Modules (what each one does, at a glance)

Enable these on the ClassicPack screen. Nothing here runs when the module is off.

Module	What it does (short)	Where you use it
Core Redirects Manager	Lists automatic redirects the CMS stores when a post’s URL changes; you can remove unneeded ones.	Under ClassicPress-related redirects (see module link)
Email Commenters	Sends a single email to every address that commented on a chosen post or page.	ClassicPack submenu: Email Commenters
Auto Save Images	When you publish, can pull hotlinked images into the Media Library.	Settings on the Auto Save Images screen
Delete Post with Attachments	On permanent post delete, can remove media uploaded only to that post when safe.	Runs when you trash/delete content (see description on the modules screen)
Users Online	Shows who is browsing the site and a dashboard summary.	ClassicPack / dashboard widget as implemented
User Manager	Optional Users list columns (e.g. registration, last login) and options to keep posts or pages for logged-in users only.	ClassicPack → User Manager and Users list
User Content Overview	On a user’s profile, shows counts and links for content that user “owns” (by post type, media, optional Woo customer orders) for cleanup or reassignment.	Users → edit a user
Post type switcher	In the classic editor, switch an existing item to another public post type (with a warning).	Posts or Pages (or CPT) → edit, Publish box
Duplicate post	Row action to duplicate a public post type as a draft (content, meta, terms, featured image as applicable).	Post type list tables
User Avatar	Profile picture from the Media Library on the user profile screen; replaces Gravatar when set (legacy meta key unchanged).	Users → Profile / Users → Edit user
Admin Login	Custom login URL; redirects for wp-login.php and /wp-admin/ when not signed in.	Settings → Permalinks (Admin Login section)

Some modules are Classic-editor specific or list-table specific. If you use only the block editor, test before relying on a module.

Requirements

ClassicPress 2.5+ or WordPress 6.2+
PHP 8.0+

Changelog

Release notes match readme.txt (plugin directory listing).

0.3.7

Core Redirects Manager: add per-page and total redirect counts, pagination, and plain-language help for Delete and Delete All

0.3.5

Admin Login: use classicpack_admin_login_* options and resolve CPCS violations

0.3.3

Fix post type switcher nested-form submit (use detached form and HTML5 form association and fall back when wp_set_post_type is unavailable)

Update documentation and readme

Update Manager

Simone Fioravanti

Push updates for your ClassicPress plugins and themes from GitHub or other remote sources.

Download

More Info
Painlessly push updates to your ClassicPress plugin and theme users! Serve updates from GitHub, your own site, or somewhere in the cloud. 100% integrated with the ClassicPress update process; super-slim and performant. Incredibly easy!

With the Update Manager plugin for ClassicPress, developers can push plugin and theme updates out to their end users with ease! This isn’t a fork of a WordPress plugin – this is a brand new plugin built specifically for ClassicPress!

Remote Updates made Easy

No matter where you host your plugin or theme code – GitHub, BitBucket, AWS, or even your own website – the Update Manager plugin makes quick work of pushing updates to your end users. A fantastic tool for plugin and theme developers, agencies, and freelancers!

Simple & Lightweight

The Update Manager only requires that you add a single file to your plugin or theme – and it’s under 30k! There’s no libraries to think about. There’s no huge files to add bloat. There’s no complicated steps to trip you up! And, best of all, your users don’t have to install an extra plugin just to deal with updates.

Complete Integration

The Update Manager plugin is fully integrated with ClassicPress’ core update process. Adding your own icons, banners, and screenshots is as simple as dropping your images into the right directory. When your users click for information about your plugin in their dashboard, the popup windows look fantastic, complete with details, imagery, changelog, reviews…and more! Themes look great, too!

Plugin Integration

To setup a plugin to work with the Update Manager, the following general steps are recommended. This page details each of the steps and describes how to use the plugin going forward.
1. Install and activate the Update Manager plugin on your own site.
2. Add the Update Client file to your own plugin.
3. Create an update endpoint in the Update Manager.
4. Test the endpoint in a browser.
5. Test the update on an actual site.
6. Publish the endpoint.
Install the Update Manager Plugin
1. Install the Update Manager plugin according to the installation instructions.
2. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Plugins > Add New – this is where you will be managing your plugin updates.
Adding the Update Client file to a Plugin
1. Copy the UpdateClient.class.php file (from the Update Manager plugin) into your plugin’s file structure.
2. Set namespace to a unique value; line 22.
3. Set UPDATE_SERVER to the URL where your Update Manager plugin is installed; line 25.
4. Set USE_DIRECTORY to true to skip loading the class starting from ClassicPress v.2; line 30.
5. Set SECURE_SOURCE to the starting part of the URL of the updated zip file if you want to add an extra layer of security; line 35. See line 236 to understand how check is done.
6. Set UPDATE_TYPE to plugin or theme; line 38.
7. Use require_once('/path/to/UpdateClient.class.php') in your plugin’s primary PHP file to run the update client.
Creating an Update Endpoint for a Plugin
1. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Plugins > Add New
2. Set the Endpoint Identifier for your plugin; ie, my-plugin-folder/my-plugin-file.php.
3. Add your Plugin Details to the editor; if you have a readme.txt file, you can copy it right in.
4. Optionally, add URLs for any Testing Domains that can receive test updates.
5. Optionally, add contact methods for receiving Notifications of issues.
6. Click Publish to make the update immediately available.
Viewing an Update Endpoint in the Browser

If your update endpoint isn’t working as expected, neither will your update. So, before even testing the update process, it’s a good idea to call up the endpoint in a browser and verify that it looks like valid JSON data. The following steps will allow you to view endpoints in the browser. This is not available for endpoints in Draft status.
1. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Plugins
2. Hover over any of the listed endpoints and click View Endpoint.
Pushing an Update to all Plugin Users

When you create a new version of your plugin, you’ll need to push it out to your end users. To do this:
1. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Plugins
2. Click to Edit the particular endpoint.
3. Update the Plugin Details section to reflect the new version’s details.
4. Click to Update the endpoint.
Pushing an Update to Limited Users for Testing Purposes
1. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Plugins
2. Click to Edit an endpoint.
3. Set the Status to Pending Review.
4. Click to Update the endpoint.
With the plugin in Pending Review status, the update will be made available only to those domains specified in the Testing Domains field. Note that if you are trying to test an update on a plugin that is installed on the same server as the Update Manager plugin, you must still whitelist the domain, otherwise it will not receive the update notification.

Promoting Feedback from your Test Team
1. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Plugins
2. Click to Edit an endpoint.
3. Add one or more contact methods to the Notifications field.
4. Click to Update the endpoint.
This field accepts multiple email addresses and a single URL, separated by commas. The order is not important. If you supply email addresses, a link will be crafted that prepopulates an email with some basic information. If you supply a URL, it will be used to point the user toward a feedback form, GitHub repo, or wherever. If you supply email(s) and URL, both options will be offered. These links will appear in the test notice that appears in the modal windows.

Pushing Alpha, Beta, and Release Candidate Versions

Semantic versioning is used throughout. You can push updates for alpha, beta, and release candidate versions without any trouble. Let’s say you wanted to run through the basic steps with a version 1.0.0 plugin. You might release a plugin at 1.0.0-alpha. Next, you could bump the version to 1.0.0-beta… and then 1.0.0-rc1, and then 1.0.0-rc2, and then 1.0.0. Each version in that chain succeeds the previous. Here’s the upgrade path, a bit more visually.

1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-rc1 < 1.0.0-rc2 < 1.0.0

Supplemental Note: You can also push sequential updates for a given pre-release (alpha, beta, or RC version). For example, 1.0.0-alpha1 is less than 1.0.0-alpha2 which is less than 1.0.0-alpha3, which is less than…well, you get the idea.

Using Custom Images

You can use your own plugin banner and icon images to improve the end user experience. If you have these images, create an /images/ directory in your plugin and drop them there. They will be automatically discovered and you are free to mix and match any of the following filetypes. If you prefer, you can define your own custom image path; see the filters documentation. If you do not have such images, the default system image will be used for the icon, and your plugin modal windows just won’t have a header graphic. The following are supported:

Normal Images

SVG: icon.svg, banner.svg
PNG: icon-128.png, banner-772x250.png
JPG: icon-128.jpg, banner-772x250.jpg

Retina Images

SVG: icon.svg, banner.svg
PNG: icon-256.png, banner-1544x500.png
JPG: icon-256.jpg, banner-1544x500.jpg

Screenshots

PNG: screenshot-1.png, screenshot-2..png, …
JPG: screenshot-1.jpg, screenshot-2.jpg, …

Note: Screenshots are displayed from lowest to highest, however, they need not be sequentially named. The plugin will find them regardless and will apply the correct caption(s) to the correct image(s).

Theme Integration

To setup a theme to work with the Update Manager, the following general steps are recommended. This page details each of the steps and describes how to use the plugin going forward.
1. Install and activate the Update Manager plugin on your own site.
2. Add the Update Client file to your own theme.
3. Create an update endpoint in the Update Manager.
4. Test the endpoint in a browser.
5. Test the update on an actual site.
6. Publish the endpoint.
Install the Update Manager Plugin
1. Install the Update Manager plugin according to the installation instructions.
2. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Themes > Add New – this is where you will be managing your theme updates.
Adding the Update Client file to a Theme
1. Copy the UpdateClient.class.php file (from the Update Manager plugin) into your theme’s file structure.
2. Set namespace to a unique value; line 25.
3. Set UPDATE_SERVER to the URL where your Update Manager plugin is installed; line 28.
4. Set UPDATE_TYPE to ‘theme’; line 31.
5. Use require_once('/path/to/UpdateClient.class.php') in your theme’s functions.php file to run the update client.
Creating an Update Endpoint for a Theme
1. Navigate to Dashboard > Update Manager > Themes > Add New
2. Set the Endpoint Identifier for your theme; ie, my-theme-directory-name.
3. Add your Theme Details to the editor; if you have a readme.txt file, you can copy it right in.
4. Optionally, add URLs for any Testing Domains that can receive test updates.
5. Optionally, add contact methods for receiving Notifications of issues.
6. Click Publish to make the update immediately available.

Transient Inspector

Dashboard > Update Manager > Transients

The Update Manager plugin contains functionality that allows you to view and delete the transients related to plugin and theme updates. This functionality provides a reliable method of forcing an update check, regardless of when the last check took place. Note that this functionality reveals all update data, so, even if a plugin or theme is not integrated with the Update Manager plugin, its update data can be viewed (and deleted) here.

Inspecting Transient Data

Clicking the Plugin Update Data or Theme Update Data tabs will reveal the data stored in your database related to plugin and theme updates. The data is only presented for informational purposes and is not editable on these screens.

Previewing Updates

Clicking the Update Data tab will show plugin and theme update information on the same screen and in a more reader-friendly format.

Delete Plugin Transients

Clicking the text link to delete Plugin transients will delete the data stored in the options table as _site_transient_update_plugins. With this transient data deleted, the system will check for plugin updates on the next page load regardless of when the last update check took place.

Delete Theme Transients

Clicking the text link to delete Theme transients will delete the data stored in the options table as _site_transient_update_themes. With this transient data deleted, the system will check for theme updates on the next page load regardless of when the last update check took place.

Delete Both Transients

Clicking the text link to delete Both transients will delete the data stored in the options table for both _site_transient_update_plugins and _site_transient_update_themes. With this transient data deleted, the system will check for both plugin and theme updates on the next page load regardless of when the last update took place.

Processing Incoming Requests

To work with the data received from incoming requests, the following filter can be added to a utility plugin. This might be used for tracking installations or adding/removing values to/from the request before querying the endpoint for data. This filter accepts 1 argument, $request. Replace {component-type} with either plugin or theme, depending on the type of request you are trying to filter.
```
function some_function_name($request) {

     // Do your processing here.

    // Return the processed request.
    return $request;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_filter_{component-type}_request', 'some_function_name');
```
Processing Outgoing Responses

When a request is received by the Update Manager plugin, the relevant plugin (or theme) data is assembled and passed back as a response to the calling site. This filter allows final processing of that data before it is returned to the calling site. This filter accepts 2 arguments, data and request and returns the possible-amended data.
```
function some_function_name($data, $request) {

     // Do your processing on $data here.

    // Return the processed data.
    return $data;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_filter_parsed_component_data', 'some_function_name', 10, 2);
```
Active Installations

The Update Manager plugin does not track or know how many active installations there are of any given plugin. If you are otherwise tracking those numbers, you can filter them into the remote modal windows by adding the following filter to a utility plugin. The filter accepts only uses the first of the two arguments, $number. Replace {identifier} with your plugin identifier, ie, my-plugin-dir/my-plugin-file.php.
```
function some_function_name($number, $identifier) {
    return $number;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_{identifier}_active_installs', 'some_function_name', 10, 2);
```
Admin Menu

Position To change the admin menu item’s position, this filter can be added to a utility plugin. See also the following table of menu position values.
```
function some_function_name($position) {
    return 22;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_menu_pos', 'some_function_name');
```
Menu Item Positions 1: Top of menu 2: below Dashboard 5: below Posts 10: below Media 20: below Pages 25: below Comments 60: below first separator 65: below Plugins 70: below Users 75: below Tools 80: below Settings 100: below second separator null: below Comments, in natural order; default

Plugin Images Path & URL

These filters can be used if you already have a particular directory schema under which your plugin’s images are stored. These filters would be used in your own plugin.

Plugin-specific filters

Those new filters prevents plugins from accidentally overwrite other’s path.
```
function new_custom_image_path($path) {
	return plugin_dir_path(__FILE__).'beautifulimages';
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_{plugin-slug}_image_path', 'new_custom_image_path');

function new_custom_image_url($url) {
	return plugin_dir_url(__FILE__).'beautifulimages';
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_{plugin-slug}_image_url', 'new_custom_image_url');
```
Global filters (deprecated since version 2.3.0)

Note that you should always check for the right plugin slug before altering the path, as shown in the examples here. Be sure to replace {plugin-slug} with the slug of your own plugin.
```
function my_custom_image_path($path) {
    if (strpos($path, {plugin-slug}) !== false) {
        $path = '/path/to/your-site/wp-content/plugins/your-plugin-name/assets/images';
    }
    return $path;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_image_path', 'my_custom_image_path');

function my_custom_image_url($url) {
    if (strpos($path, {plugin-slug}) !== false) {
        $path = 'https://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/your-plugin-name/assets/images';
    }
    return $path;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_image_url', 'my_custom_image_url');
```
Filter Notification

Email Properties If you are using the notification features for endpoints to allow your testers to contact you with feedback, you can filter the default subject and body of the email message with the following filters.
```
function some_function_name($subject) {
    return 'Some custom subject line';
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_notification_email_subject', 'some_function_name');

function some_function_name($body) {
    $body = 'A line followed by two blank lines.'."nn";
    $body .= 'Another line...';
    return $body;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_notification_email_body', 'some_function_name');
```
Footer Credit

For extension authors, this filter allows for a credit link to be appended to the Code Potent footer text. This filter accepts a single argument, $text, which is an empty string, by default. Note that all HTML is stripped, except for the tag. The URLs can be as long as needed, but, the visible text and links may be truncated at 50 characters. This filter is for adding a credit link, not for marketing text and upsells; misusing this feature will cause it to be removed.
```
function some_function_name($text) {
    return 'Featuring <a href="#">My Extension</a> by <a href="#">Author Name</a>';
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_extension_footer_{your-slug-here}', 'some_function_name');
```
Request body

This filter allows to add fields to the request made by the UpdateClient.class.php. It’s useful for plugin authors that wants to pass data to some Update Manager extension. For example Stats for Update Manager uses it to allow plugin authors to give their users the choice to opt-in or out from their site being counted usage in statistics.
```
function some_function_name($body) {
	if( 'no' === get_option( 'my-slug-usage-statistics' ) ) {
		$body['sfum'] = 'no-log';
	}
	return $body;
}
add_filter('codepotent_update_manager_filter_{your-slug-here}_client_request', 'some_function_name');
```
