Getting Started with WP Taskmate: Your AI-Powered WordPress Assistant

Welcome to WP Taskmate! This guide will walk you through setting up and using your new AI-powered WordPress support assistant.

What is WP Taskmate?

WP Taskmate is a Chrome extension that combines screen-aware technology with GPT-4 Vision to help you diagnose and fix WordPress issues. Simply capture your screen, describe your problem, and get step-by-step solutions tailored to your exact setup.

Installing the Extension

Step 1: Download from Chrome Web Store

Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for "WP Taskmate" or use the direct link from our website. Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the installation.

Step 2: Pin the Extension

After installation, click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome's toolbar and pin WP Taskmate for easy access.

Step 3: Create Your Account

Click the WP Taskmate icon and create a free account. You'll get immediate access to basic features.

Your First Support Session

Capturing Your Screen

  • Navigate to the WordPress page where you're experiencing an issue
  • Click the WP Taskmate icon to open the side panel
  • Click the "Capture" button to screenshot your current view
  • The extension automatically detects your WordPress version, theme, and active plugins
  • Describing Your Problem

    After capturing your screen, describe what's wrong in the text field. Be specific:

  • "The header menu isn't showing on mobile"
  • "This image is loading slowly"
  • "The checkout button isn't working"
  • Getting AI Assistance

    Click "Ask WP Taskmate" and wait a few seconds. You'll receive:

  • Diagnosis: What's causing the issue
  • Steps: Exact actions to fix it, with UI paths
  • Code: Any snippets needed, ready to copy
  • Safety Notes: Warnings about potential risks
  • Understanding WP Context Detection

    WP Taskmate automatically detects:

  • WordPress Version: Ensures advice matches your WP version
  • Active Theme: Knows if you're using Astra, GeneratePress, etc.
  • Page Builder: Detects Elementor, Gutenberg, Divi, Beaver Builder
  • WooCommerce: Identifies if you're running an online store
  • Admin vs Frontend: Tailors advice based on where you are
  • Tips for Better Results

    Be Specific

    Instead of "my site is slow," try "the homepage takes 8 seconds to load."

    Include Error Messages

    If you see an error, include the exact text in your description.

    Capture the Right Screen

    For CSS issues, capture the element. For errors, capture the error message.

    Mention What You've Tried

    "I already cleared the cache" helps WP Taskmate skip obvious suggestions.
