Troubleshooting Installation

Plugin won't activate

  • PHP version too low: Check your PHP version in Tools → Site Health → Info → Server. Intufind requires PHP 8.0+.
  • Memory limit: Increase PHP memory limit to at least 128MB
  • Plugin conflicts: Deactivate other plugins temporarily to identify conflicts

Plugin not appearing in menu

  • Clear your browser cache and refresh
  • Check that the plugin is activated in Plugins
  • Verify you have administrator privileges

Server requirements check

Run this in your theme's functions.php temporarily to check requirements:

add_action('admin_notices', function() {
    if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '8.0', '<')) {
        echo '<div class="notice notice-error"><p>Intufind requires PHP 8.0+. Current: ' . PHP_VERSION . '</p></div>';
    }
});

Uninstallation

To completely remove Intufind:

  1. Go to Plugins in WordPress admin
  2. Deactivate Intufind
  3. Click Delete

Uninstalling performs a complete cleanup:

  • Cloud data — All indexed content, chat configuration, prompts, and styling are deleted
  • Plugin settings — All options and configuration removed
  • Sync data — Post metadata and sync history cleared
  • Scheduled tasks — All cron jobs cancelled
💡
Reinstalling?
If you reinstall the plugin later, you'll need to reconnect with your API key and sync your content again. The previous indexed data is not recoverable.
