BitBot – AI Chatbot, Content Generator, Forms & Leads

1.6.2

• SEO fix: the “Powered by BitBot” widget footer and “Draft by BitBot” post footer are now regular dofollow links (was nofollow by mistake in 1.6.0–1.6.1). Free-tier installs now contribute proper backlinks.

1.6.1

• Fixed: BitBot Dashboard Subscription card still said “$10/month” — now correctly shows Free / Pro plan + $20/mo pricing.
• Fixed: Plugin description and FAQ — removed the old “$10/month, first month free trial” wording now that Free is forever.

1.6.0

• Free plan is now free forever — no more trials that expire. Upgrade to Pro ($20/mo) whenever you’re ready.
• Free plan includes: 100 chat messages/month, 3 AI-generated blog posts/month (24h cooldown), 1 contact form, up to 10 stored leads, multilingual chatbot, full content indexing.
• Pro plan ($20/mo) unlocks: unlimited chat, unlimited posts from any source (prompt, URL, PDF upload), unlimited forms, unlimited leads, AI lead research + drafted follow-up emails, email notifications on new leads, Topic Discovery, Style Analysis, AI form generation, and removes the “Powered by BitBot” branding.
• Usage banner — see your current-period usage on the BitBot Dashboard at a glance.
• Fixed: “Settings saved” notice now appears when saving BitBot settings.
• Fixed: Chat no longer resets when visitors navigate between pages in the same tab.
• Fixed: Existing installs get their notification email auto-configured on upgrade (no need to open Settings).

1.5.2

• New lead email notifications — get an email the moment a visitor turns into a lead, with their details and a link to the dashboard
• Notification email setting — customise the recipient in BitBot → Settings; defaults to the WordPress admin email
• Menu badge for unviewed leads — red pill on the BitBot menu shows how many leads you haven’t opened yet (drops as soon as you open each one)
• Fixed: 500 error when saving posts in the block editor — REST save no longer blocks on BitBot’s background sync; saves return immediately
• Faster editor saves — content re-indexing now happens ~10s after save in the background, and rapid saves coalesce into a single sync
