Installing and Activating Product Search by Image AI

Product Search by Image AI installs like any other WordPress plugin. Activate WooCommerce first: the plugin adds its icon to the WooCommerce product search form, so without WooCommerce it prints an admin notice and stops there.

Go to Plugins → Add New and press Upload Plugin.

Press Choose File and pick the zip you downloaded.

Press Install Now and wait for WordPress to unpack the zip.

Then press Activate Plugin.

A Product Search By Image AI entry appears under DevDiggers Plugins in the admin menu. Activating also creates the two analytics tables the dashboard reads.

Go to DevDiggers Plugins → Product Search By Image AI → Configuration → License and enter the purchase code and email from your order.

Do not skip this. Until the license is active the plugin loads nothing on the storefront. No camera icon, no loader and no keywords box, whatever the settings say. Every admin screen keeps working, which is what makes it hard to spot. If the settings look right and the search box still has no icon, check this tab before anything else.

Go to Configuration → General and tick Enable WooCommerce Product Search By Image AI, then press Save Changes.

The icon appears in your product search box straight away. Nothing else has to be set: the plugin ships with TensorFlow.js selected, which needs no account and no key.
