Use AI to Debug WordPress Forms Like a Pro feat. Divi Form Builder

Описание: Want ChatGPT (or any coding AI) to actually help you write or debug code? In this video, we go beyond asking ChatGPT to “write some PHP” and show you how to guide it when things go wrong.

Join Pavak from the Divi Engine team as he tackles a real-world issue in Divi Form Builder: uploaded form images staying in the WordPress media library.

Along the way, you’ll learn:

How to prompt ChatGPT (and DeepSeek, etc.) for code

What to do when the code doesn’t work

How to give AI the right context like documentation and actual PHP error logs

A practical example of debugging through logs and iterations

How to delay file deletion until after emails are sent, using wp_schedule_single_event

This is more than a tutorial, it’s a demonstration of how you can collaborate with AI tools to solve real development problems, step by step.

🔧 Tools Used:
→ ChatGPT
→ WordPress + Divi Form Builder
→ PHP Logs + Terminal
→ Your brain 😄
