## Description

BotBard AI Editor turns a sentence into a change to your site. You describe what

you want, BotBard proposes it, you look at it in a preview only you can see, and
it goes live when you press Publish.

**What it can change**

 * Pages and posts — text, headings, buttons, block layout
 * New posts and pages, created as drafts you review first
 * Publishing, scheduling, and status changes
 * Categories and tags, chosen from the terms your site already has
 * Block theme templates and template parts, including your header and footer
 * Colours, spacing, typography and borders, through the block settings
    WordPress
   already supports
 * Media, added to your Media Library
 * Make Hero — a hero section generated for a page, built from structured text
    
   and video that BotBard’s service produces

**What it will not change, ever**

Your theme’s PHP. Your theme’s JavaScript. Any plugin’s code. Any file on your
 
server. This is not a limitation that can be switched on: the plugin contains no
code that writes a file, and its build refuses to package if a filesystem-writing
function appears anywhere in it.

Everything BotBard does goes through WordPress’s own functions —
 wp_update_post(),`
wp_insert_post()`, `wp_set_object_terms()` — with a capability check on every object
it touches and a checksum that refuses to overwrite work someone else did while 
your change was waiting.

**Classic themes**

If your site uses a classic theme, its header, footer and templates are PHP
 files,
so BotBard AI Editor does not change them. Pages, posts, media, categories, scheduling
and block styling all work normally. The editor tells you which kind of theme you
have rather than offering something it cannot do.

**When BotBard cannot help**

If you ask for something that genuinely needs code — a PHP hook, a custom
 shortcode,
tracking JavaScript, a plugin installed — BotBard says so and points you at BotBard
Full, a separate product distributed from botbard.ai. Nothing downloads, installs
or activates itself.

### External services

This plugin requires a BotBard account and sends data to BotBard’s service to
 generate
changes. It does not work without it.

**BotBard — wp.botbard.ai** (operated by BotBard)

 * Service: https://www.botbard.ai/
 * Terms of Service: https://www.botbard.ai/terms.html
 * Privacy Policy: https://www.botbard.ai/privacy.html

The plugin contacts this one service for four things.

**1. Signing in and your account.**
 Triggered when you type your email address 
on the BotBard screen, and each time you open that screen while connected. Sent:
your email address, your site’s address, and a one-way fingerprint of your installation(
a SHA-256 hash of your site URL and install path). While connected, only your installation
credential. Returned: a one-time code by email, then your credential, your plan 
name and your remaining allowance.

**2. Preparing a change (the AI Editor).**
 Triggered only when you press Send on
a request you typed. Sent: your request; the content of the single page, post or
template you are editing; your site’s title, tagline, language and text direction;
the colour palette, font sizes and content width from your theme’s `theme.json`;
the names of the blocks registered on your site; and the names of your existing 
categories and tags. Returned: a list of proposed changes described as WordPress
operations — never code, never files.

**3. Make Hero.**
 Triggered only when you press Create hero. Sent: your site address,
the page’s address, title and ID, your language and text direction, and the style
options you chose. If your site is not reachable from the internet, BotBard cannot
look at the page itself, so it asks — every time, with a Continue button — before
sending a snapshot of that page’s rendered HTML, stylesheets and images. Returned:
hero text (a headline, a subheadline and button labels), layout settings, and the
names of the video and image files it produced.

**4. Downloading generated media.**
 Triggered when you add a finished hero to a
page. Sent: your installation credential and the name of one file belonging to one
of your own hero jobs. The plugin builds this request itself and accepts no URL 
from the service. Returned: the image or video, which is saved to your Media Library.

**What is never sent:** your theme’s PHP or JavaScript files, any plugin’s code,

your `wp-config.php`, pages you are not editing, your users, your visitors’ IP addresses,
or any analytics or telemetry. This plugin contains no tracking.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Open **BotBard** in your admin menu.
 3. Read the summary of what BotBard sends, then enter your email address.
 4. Enter the code BotBard emails you.
 5. Choose a page and describe the change you want.

## FAQ

### Will this edit my theme’s files?

No. The plugin contains no code capable of writing a file, and the build script

fails if a filesystem-writing function ever appears in it. If BotBard’s own service
were completely compromised, the worst it could do to your site is propose a bad
paragraph — which you would see in the preview before publishing.

### What happens to my site while I am editing?

Nothing. Proposed changes are stored separately and shown only to you, in a
 preview
only your account can open. Visitors see your site exactly as it was until you press
Publish.

### Can I undo?

Before publishing: undo, redo, or discard everything. After publishing:
 WordPress
saves a revision of every page BotBard edits, so you can restore it from the normal
WordPress revisions screen.

### Someone else edited the page while my change was waiting. What happens?

BotBard refuses to publish and tells you. It compares a checksum of the page
 taken
when the change was prepared against the page as it is now, so it will never overwrite
work you did not see.

### Do I need an account?

Yes. BotBard is a hosted service; this plugin is the part that runs on your site.

The free plan includes 15 AI edits each month, and they reset at the start of every
month.

### I asked for something and BotBard said it could not do it.

The request needed theme or plugin code changed. That is deliberate: not being
 
able to edit code is what makes this edition safe to run. Advanced code editing 
is available in BotBard Full at https://www.botbard.ai/.

### Does it work with my theme?

Pages, posts, media, categories, scheduling and block styling work with any
 theme.
Template, header and footer editing needs a block theme, because on a classic theme
those are PHP files.
