Wonda Client Plugin

Lightweight Connector – Installation & Usage Guide   |   v2.7

1. Introduction

The Wonda Client plugin is a lightweight connector that allows you to embed the Wonda AI chatbot on your WordPress website. It does not contain any dashboard, analytics, or chat logs – it simply stores your credentials and outputs the central embed script.

All chatbot management (settings, knowledge base, leads, logs, etc.) is handled through the Central Dashboard at https://wonda.co.zw/dashboard/. This separation ensures that your WordPress site stays clean and your chat widget always works, even across multiple tabs and cached pages.

Key Capabilities of the Client Plugin

  • πŸ” Securely stores your Site ID and Site Secret.
  • πŸ“Œ Optionally restricts the widget to specific pages/posts.
  • ⚑ Lightweight – no AJAX, no nonces, no bloat.
  • 🌍 Works with any WordPress theme.

2. Getting Started

2.1 Registration Process

    • Website domain (e.g., yourcompany.com)
    • Full website URL (e.g., https://yourcompany.com)
    • Create a secure password
  3. Submit Registration – Click "Create Account".
  4. Check Your Email – You'll receive your unique credentials:
    • Site ID – Your unique identifier (format: site_a1b2c3...)

⚠️ Important: Keep your Site ID and Site Secret secure. Never share them publicly.

4.1 Entering Credentials

FieldDescription

4.2 Test Connection

Click the Test Connection button to verify that your credentials are correct. A green success message means the central server accepted them.

4.3 Widget Placement (Optional)

By default the widget appears on all pages. You can restrict it to selected pages/posts:

  1. Choose Only selected pages.
  2. Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and click the pages/posts where you want the widget.
  3. Save settings.
Note: The placement rule only applies to singular posts/pages – not archives or search results.

5. Embedding on Any Website (Standalone)

The Wonda widget can be embedded on any HTML website – not just WordPress. You can get the embed code from your central dashboard under Embed Code.

  1. Log in to your central dashboard: https://wonda.co.zw/dashboard/
  2. Go to Embed Code in the sidebar.
  3. Choose where it appears:
    • Global – The widget appears on every page of your site.
    • Custom pages – Specify URL paths (e.g., /contact, /products/*).
  4. Copy the script tag – It looks like:
    <script src="https://wonda.co.zw/wp-content/plugins/wonda-central/widget/embed.js" data-site-id="site_abc123" data-site-secret="sk_xyz789" async defer></script>
  5. Paste it just before the closing </body> tag of your website.

If you are using the WordPress plugin, you do not need to manually add this script – the plugin does it automatically based on your settings.

πŸ’‘ Security Note: The embed code includes your Site Secret. It is protected by domain validation – the secret will only work from your registered domain. Always use HTTPS.

6. Central Dashboard Overview

  • Dashboard – Stats, token usage, charts.
  • Settings – Bot name, greeting, colour, lead capture, knowledge base, etc.
  • Knowledge Base – Train your bot with information about your business.
