Installation Guide

Step-by-step guide to installing and setting up the AIO Radar WordPress plugin.

Requirements

Before installing AIO Radar, ensure your site meets these requirements:

  • WordPress 6.0 or higher
  • PHP 8.0 or higher
  • SSL Certificate (HTTPS enabled)
  • AIO Radar Account (start a 7-day trial)
  • Installing the Plugin

    The plugin isn't in the WordPress.org plugin directory yet, so it is installed from a ZIP file we send you when you sign up.

    If you don't have the ZIP, email hello@wearego.digital and we'll send it.

    Upload in WordPress

  • In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  • Choose the ZIP file (named like aioradar-plugin-X.Y.Z.zip)
  • Click Install Now
  • Activate the plugin
  • Once connected, the plugin keeps itself up to date from AIO Radar.

    Or with WP-CLI

    If you have WP-CLI access, install the same ZIP file:

    bash
    wp plugin install ./aioradar-plugin-X.Y.Z.zip --activate

    Initial Setup

    Step 1: Connect Your Account

    After activation, you'll see the AIO Radar menu in your WordPress admin:

  • Click AIO Radar in the admin sidebar
  • Click the Connect to AIO Radar button
  • Log in to your AIO Radar account (or create one)
  • Authorize the connection
  • The plugin will automatically receive an API key and link to your site.

    Step 2: Run Your First Scan

    Once connected, scan your site to analyze your content:

  • Go to AIO Radar → Dashboard
  • Click the Scan Site button
  • Wait for the scan to complete (usually 1-2 minutes)
  • The scan inventories all your pages and posts, gathering information needed for AI optimization.

    Step 3: Generate LLMs.txt

    After the scan completes:

  • Go to AIO Radar → LLMs.txt
  • Click Generate LLMs.txt
  • Review the generated content
  • The file is now served at yoursite.com/llms.txt
  • Verifying Installation

    Check Plugin Status

    Go to AIO Radar → Dashboard and verify:

  • ✅ Connection status shows "Connected"
  • ✅ Site domain matches your WordPress site
  • ✅ Last scan date is recent
  • Test LLMs.txt

    Visit https://yoursite.com/llms.txt in your browser. You should see your generated LLMs.txt content.

    Check Using WP-CLI

    bash
    # Check connection status
    wp aio status
    
    # Validate API key
    wp aio validate

    Troubleshooting Installation

    Plugin Won't Activate

    Error: "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error"

    Solutions:

  • Verify PHP 8.0+ is installed: php -v
  • Check WordPress 6.0+ is running
  • Deactivate conflicting plugins temporarily
  • Connection Fails

    Error: "Could not connect to AIO Radar"

    Solutions:

  • Ensure your site uses HTTPS
  • Check your firewall allows outbound connections to aioradar.vercel.app (the address the plugin calls)
  • Verify your server can resolve DNS
  • LLMs.txt Returns 404

    Error: Visiting /llms.txt shows a 404 error

    Solutions:

  • Go to Settings → Permalinks
  • Click Save Changes (this flushes rewrite rules)
  • Try accessing /llms.txt again
  • Or via WP-CLI:

    bash
    wp rewrite flush
