• Logs the deployment timestamp in your dashboard

v1.1.0 — AI Chatbot Mode (Claude-powered)

Major Update — AI Chatbot

Complete transformation from scripted questionnaire to live Claude-powered AI assistant.

New Features

• AI Chat Engine — Powered by Anthropic Claude API (Haiku by default). Visitors can ask any question and get accurate, on-brand answers.
• ideaBoss Knowledge Base — Full company knowledge pre-loaded: services, industries, pricing tiers, process, FAQs, brand voice, founder story.
• Natural Email Collection — Bot asks for email organically after 3–4 exchanges. No hard-coded form prompts.
• Chat Transcript Leads — Full conversation saved to Leads DB when email is collected. Team notification and visitor follow-up emails fire automatically.
• New AI Settings Tab — API key, model selector (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), welcome message, input placeholder, and fully editable system prompt/knowledge base.

Setup

1. Go to ideaBot Settings → AI tab
2. Enter your Anthropic API key from console.anthropic.com
3. Select your model (Haiku recommended)
4. Save — the bot is live

v1.0.5 — Send Test Email diagnostic tool

New

• Send Test Email — New section at the bottom of the Emails settings tab. Fires a real wp_mail() call and shows:
  • ✅ Success: confirms delivery with From name, From email, and Reply-To details
  • ❌ Failure: shows the exact error from wp_mail_failed + a diagnostic hint about common Mailgun/SMTP causes

Use this to pinpoint exactly why emails are not sending without needing server log access.

v1.0.4 — Version sync fix

Fixes

• Plugin header Version: tag, IDEABOT_VERSION constant, zip filename, and GitHub release tag all now match (1.0.4).
• Auto-updater reads installed version from WordPress plugin header (via $transient->checked) rather than hardcoded constant — header and updater can never drift out of sync again.

Previous changes (v1.0.3)

• Emails not sending — str_contains() replaced with strpos() for PHP 7.x compatibility
• Checkboxes not persisting — ideabot_field_chk() now echoes correctly
• GitHub auto-updater added

v1.0.3 — Email fix, checkbox fix, GitHub auto-updater

Fixes

• Emails not sending — str_contains() replaced with strpos() for PHP 7.x compatibility.
• Checkboxes not persisting — ideabot_field_chk() now echoes correctly. All checkboxes (Bot Enabled, Auto-Open, Hide on Mobile, Enable Webhook) save and display properly.
• Plugin header version — Version tag in plugin header now correctly reads 1.0.3.
• Auto-updater — Reads installed version from WordPress plugin header instead of hardcoded constant.

New

• GitHub auto-updater — WordPress detects new releases from this repo and shows the standard "Update available" notice in the Plugins screen.
