C. Testing Connections Natively
Every premium card contains a dedicated Test Connection button. When clicked, Wawp securely proxies a lightweight, encrypted check request through your local WordPress server to the selected provider. This verifies:
- Your API key is active and correctly input.
- Your credit balance is sufficient to run queries.
- Your host server has a clear cURL route to the AI provider endpoint.
Page Reload Required: Whenever you change any provider keys, toggles, or preferred models inside the AI Settings Center, you MUST refresh your browser page completely (F5 / Ctrl+R / Cmd+R). This ensures that the newly configured credentials, switches, and active models are cleanly loaded into the React context state for the "Ask AI" global assistant.
3. Developer & Security Overview
Wawp prioritizes standard security compliance across all integrated AI routines:
- API Key Hiding: All calls are secure backend-to-backend proxies through standard WordPress endpoints. Raw keys never print in the React frontend DOM or database options visible to non-admin accounts.
- No Middleware Logging: AI prompts and conversation histories are stored directly in your local WordPress database tables (
ai_sessionsandai_chats), ensuring zero data sharing with third-party tracking portals.
