Server-side alternatives:

  • Manual server install: ../be-client/README.md

Requirements

  • A WordPress site with admin access
  • Ability to upload a plugin ZIP

Install via WordPress Admin (recommended)

  1. In your WP dashboard, go to: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  2. Select the boteraser-latest.zip file in this folder
  3. Click “Install Now”, then “Activate”
  4. After activation, look for the “Boteraser” menu in your dashboard to configure

Manual (FTP/SFTP) install

  1. Extract boteraser-latest.zip
  2. Upload the extracted folder to wp-content/plugins/
  3. In your WP dashboard, go to: Plugins → Installed Plugins → Activate “Boteraser”

Configuration

  • Open the “Boteraser” settings page in WordPress
  • Provide any required API URL/keys if prompted (for self‑hosted, point to your BE Client URL)
  • Save changes and verify the plugin’s status notice

Notes

  • If activation fails, verify your WordPress/PHP meets the plugin’s requirements
  • For self‑hosting, ensure your server endpoint is reachable from your site
  • If you self-host the BE Client, make sure it is scheduled via the system cron to run every 5 minutes (see ../be-client-install-script/README.md or ../be-client/README.md)
