Pivra AI Chatbot for WordPress: Secure Setup Without Editing Your Theme

Install Pivra AI Chatbot 1.0.1 on WordPress with a single-use setup code, site-scoped connection health, and no theme edits or shared account password.

·3 min read·The Pivra Team

WordPress businesses should not have to edit footer.php, keep a script-injection plugin around, or give someone their Pivra password just to add website chat.

Pivra AI Chatbot 1.0.1 is a dedicated connector between a published Pivra chatbot and a WordPress site. It uses a single-use setup code, keeps the connection visible in Pivra, and can be disabled without another theme change.

WordPress.org status: Pivra AI Chatbot 1.0.1 is available from the official WordPress.org plugin directory. Pivra also keeps the exact reviewed version 1.0.1 ZIP available as a manual-install fallback.

What the plugin changes

The manual Pivra embed still works, but the plugin gives WordPress owners a cleaner operational path:

  • no theme file editing
  • no Pivra password or private account API key stored in WordPress
  • a setup code that expires after 30 minutes and works once
  • a site-scoped connection credential bound to the connected domain
  • an approximately hourly health check
  • remote disable and a clear disconnect path
  • normal WordPress capability checks and request nonces for settings changes

Visitor conversations remain in Pivra's hosted service rather than being copied into the WordPress database by the plugin.

Install it in four steps

  1. Create a free Pivra account, train a chatbot, and set it to Active/Published.
  2. In WordPress, open Plugins → Add New, search for Pivra AI Chatbot, then select Install Now and Activate. If directory installation is unavailable, download the reviewed version 1.0.1 ZIP and use Upload Plugin.
  3. Open Pivra → Chatbot → Install → WordPress and generate a one-time setup code.
  4. Paste the code under WordPress → Settings → Pivra AI Chatbot, connect, and verify the widget on the public site.

The complete WordPress installation and troubleshooting guide covers cache plugins, JavaScript optimisation, duplicate widgets, outbound HTTPS restrictions, remote disable, disconnect, and uninstall.

What was checked before publication

Version 1.0.1 was packaged from reviewed source and tested across:

WordPressPHPMode
6.27.4Single site
7.18.1Single site
7.18.4Multisite

The matrix covered activation, setup-code exchange, public rendering, connection health, remote disable, reconnection, deactivation, uninstall, classic and block themes, and a representative cache plugin. The original submission passed the automated WordPress.org scan; version 1.0.1 also passes the official Plugin Check rules locally with zero warnings. The WordPress Plugins Team completed its review and approved the plugin on 31 August 2026.

The data boundary

The plugin sends only the information needed to connect and operate the installation: the administrator-provided setup code during connection, the public site URL/domain, a site-scoped identifier and credential, compatibility versions, and connection-health details.

The visitor's browser loads the Pivra widget from the allowlisted Pivra embed host. Conversations are processed by Pivra according to the Privacy Policy. The plugin does not request WordPress administrator passwords, read posts for training automatically, or store visitor conversations in WordPress.

Download and get help

The official directory listing and WordPress.org-generated 1.0.1 download were verified after publication. Existing customers can keep using the direct Pivra ZIP; both installation paths contain the same reviewed runtime files.
