Installation

- WordPress 6.0 or higher. - PHP 7.4 or higher. - An API key from OpenAI or Anthropic (free signups available; you fund usage directly with the provider).

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or higher.
  • PHP 7.4 or higher.
  • An API key from OpenAI or Anthropic (free signups available; you fund usage directly with the provider).

Method 1 — From the WordPress Plugin Directory (recommended)

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New.
  2. In the search box at the top right, type ReplyMind.
  3. Find ReplyMind — AI Comment Responder in the results.
  4. Click Install Now, then Activate.
  5. You'll be redirected automatically to Settings → ReplyMind.

Method 2 — Upload the zip manually

  1. Download the latest zip from https://wordpress.org/plugins/replymind-ai-comment-responder/ — click Download in the sidebar.
  2. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Click Choose File, select the zip you downloaded.
  4. Click Install Now, then Activate Plugin.

Method 3 — Via WP-CLI

wp plugin install replymind-ai-comment-responder --activate

After activation

You'll land on Settings → ReplyMind. The next step is Getting started — adding your API key and picking a provider.

Updating

The plugin updates through the standard WordPress plugin update channel:

  • Dashboard → Updates shows new versions when available.
  • Plugins → Installed Plugins has an Update Now link on the ReplyMind row when a new version is out.

You don't need to re-enter your API key when updating — settings persist.

Uninstalling

  1. Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  2. Click Deactivate on ReplyMind.
  3. Click Delete to remove the plugin code.

When you delete the plugin, the cleanup script automatically removes:

  • replymind_api_key option
  • replymind_settings option
  • replymind_logs option
  • All comment meta keys starting with _replymind_

The AI replies that were already posted as comments stay — they're regular WordPress comments now and not the plugin's responsibility.

Multisite

Each subsite installs and configures the plugin independently. There is no network-level setting in this version.
