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:
- Go to Plugins in WordPress admin
- Deactivate Intufind
- 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.
