About this tool.

Turn your WordPress pages, posts, products, events, and archives into an AI-powered answer engine. Visitors ask questions; Ask My Content answers using your actual site content and shows sources.

Unlike standard content search plugins that rely on keyword matching, Ask My Content uses semantic embeddings and retrieval-augmented generation to return direct answers in full sentences.

Supports Gutenberg, Elementor, Avada, and WooCommerce content.

Demo website

Try the live demo: Ask My Content live demo

Click “AI Chat by Pavel!” in the bottom right corner.

Key Features * Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) – answers are grounded in your actual site content. * Uses AI for embeddings and completions (via a secure Node.js backend). * Change tracking – edited pages/posts can be auto re-indexed immediately, or queued for manual re-indexing. * Deleted content removal – auto notifies the backend when pages or posts are trashed or permanently deleted. * Lightweight – no heavy admin UI or visual layout tools, just the essentials. * Flexible – works with posts, pages, other content types, and header/footer. * Website Admin can see Questions and Answers history, and related details.

How it works 1. After activating the plugin, go to Dashboard -> Ask My Content and press “Start Indexing” (or run wp amc index ) to send your site content to the backend. Indexing must be completed before the chat can answer questions. 2. Enable the floating launcher to show the chat site-wide; or add the Ask My Content block to an existing or new page (or place the [ask_my_content] shortcode) and publish/update the page so the chat interface has a front-end location. 3. When a visitor asks a question, the chatbot retrieves the most relevant snippets from your indexed website content. 4. AI generates an answer based on that content.

After you edit content, enable Automatically re-index modified pages, posts, and content to sync changes in the background, or re-run indexing manually from Dashboard -> Ask My Content (or via wp amc index ). Deleted posts are sent to the backend automatically when they are trashed or removed.

Note: Your site’s content and user questions are securely sent to an external AI service for processing.

Command Line Usage

The plugin bundles a WP-CLI command suite ( wp amc ) for scripted indexing and status checks. It complements the Ask My Content Settings admin screen:

Use the settings page for a guided UI, manual start/stop buttons, and real-time counters inside the WordPress dashboard.

Payments

On the Payments tab you can see your tokens usage, balance, and make the payments. You get one-time US $5.00 credit, which is applied to third-party AI services (like OpenAI and Gemini) indexing/embedding and chat completion/answers.

Why is indexing stuck?

The admin “Start Indexing” button schedules a background task via WordPress cron. Caching, blocked loopback requests, or a missing server cron runner can prevent that task from starting. The settings page checks queued jobs while it is open, retries cron dispatch at most once every 30 seconds, and shows a warning if indexing remains scheduled for more than two minutes.

Solutions: 1. Use Stop Indexing, then Start Indexing to retry. Scheduling failures and missing workers now display an error instead of remaining scheduled indefinitely. 2. Ask your hosting provider to check WordPress cron and loopback requests. If automatic WP-Cron is disabled, a server cron runner must execute queued jobs. 3. If your host provides WP-CLI, use wp amc index from your WordPress directory. It runs synchronously and uses your saved content-type settings. See Command Line Usage .

For detailed diagnostics on sites you manage, enable ASKMYCO_DEBUG , WP_DEBUG , and WP_DEBUG_LOG in wp-config.php , with WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY disabled. AMC cron log entries include the site URL, hook, scheduled time, dispatch attempts, lock contention, worker start, and completion. Repeated status polls do not repeat the same warning.

Should I enable auto re-index?

Enable Automatically re-index modified pages, posts, and content if you want content edits to appear in chat results quickly without running manual indexing.

Keep it disabled if your site has frequent edits to large pages (for example long landing pages or content-heavy builder pages). In that case, each update can trigger additional background embedding requests, which may increase API usage and add server/backend load.

Practical guideline: * Enable it for low-to-moderate edit frequency or smaller pages. * Disable it for high-frequency editing of large pages, and run indexing in batches when convenient.

Why my indexed token count is low

Low indexed token count usually means the plugin did not find much readable page content to send for indexing.

This can happen if: 1. The page is mostly built from theme templates, banners, sliders, or other repeated global sections. 2. The important content is loaded by a plugin or builder widget that does not expose much text to WordPress. 3. Indexing finished before the latest content changes were re-run.

Ask My Content now supports common WordPress content builders much better, including Gutenberg , Elementor , Avada , and WooCommerce product content.

If your indexed token count still stays unexpectedly low after re-running indexing, see the next FAQ section: What content is supported for indexing?

If the chat still answers with “No available content,” the page may rely heavily on content generated outside the main WordPress content flow.

What content is supported for indexing?

Ask My Content is designed to index the main readable text of your site content.

Currently supported: * Standard WordPress pages and posts * Gutenberg block content * Elementor content in many common setups * Avada content in many common setups * WooCommerce product content, including product descriptions, short descriptions, price, SKU, weight, dimensions, and attributes * Other public post types, if enabled in plugin settings * Server-rendered homepage sections generated by themes and the Customizer, indexed separately from the normal front-page content

In general, the plugin reads the main post content the way WordPress normally renders it, using the standard content pipeline ( apply_filters('the_content', ...) ).

Every full “Start Indexing” run also checks the public homepage for theme-generated text. When automatic re-indexing is enabled, Customizer saves, active theme-mod changes, theme switches, and saves of the front page or pages selected in theme mods queue a delayed homepage refresh. This uses server-rendered HTML; text loaded later by JavaScript is not captured.

That means it usually works well with content that lives inside the main editor content area, but it may still miss text that comes only from: * headers or footers * sliders, popups, and announcement bars * heavily customized builder widgets * content injected from external sources or loaded later with JavaScript

If a page is important for search quality, open it in WordPress and make sure the main text is actually stored in the page, post, or product content itself before re-running indexing.

Does this plugin use my own AI API key?

By default, the plugin uses the developer’s AI API key on a secure backend (with generous usage limits). This means you don’t need your own AI API key.

Will this slow down my site?

No. Heavy AI processing (embeddings, search, completions) happens on a separate Node.js backend service.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Content is transmitted securely to the backend.

Does this plugin support WordPress Multisite?

Not yet. Ask My Content is not currently compatible with WordPress multisite installations, so it must be activated on individual sites (no network-wide support yet).

Can I customize the shortcode output?

Yes. The [ask_my_content] shortcode accepts optional attributes such as title , sessionId , width , height , and the various color tokens ( headerBackground , headerTextColor , chatBackground , chatUserBubble , chatBotBubble , inputBackground , inputTextColor ). They map to the same style variables used by the block. See the inline comment above amc_render_chat_shortcode() in ask-my-content.php for the current list and defaults.
