It lets WordPress sites use large language models running locally or on a remote Ollama instance for text and image generation and other AI capabilities. Ollama exposes an [OpenAI-compatible API](https://ollama.com/blog/openai-compatibility), and this provider uses that API to communicate with any model you have pulled into Ollama (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, and many more). **Features:** * Text generation with any Ollama model * Image generation with supported models * Automatic model discovery from your Ollama instance * Function calling support * Structured output (JSON mode) support * Settings page for host URL and seeing available models * Works without an API key for local instances **Requirements:** * PHP 7.4 or higher * WordPress 7.0 or higher * Ollama running locally or on a remote server (like Ollama Cloud) ## Screenshots [⌊Settings > Ollama screen showing available AI models and Host URL configuration.⌉⌊ Settings > Ollama screen showing available AI models and Host URL configuration.⌉[ Settings > Ollama screen showing available AI models and Host URL configuration. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/ai-provider-for-ollama/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings > Ollama** to configure the host URL and see available models. ## FAQ ### How do I install Ollama? Visit [ollama.com](https://ollama.com/) to download and install Ollama for your platform. Once installed, pull a model (example `ollama pull llama3.2`) and the provider will automatically discover it. ### Do I need an API key? No. For local Ollama instances, no API key is needed. The plugin automatically handles authentication for local setups. For remote Ollama instances that require authentication, enter the API key in the** Settings > Connectors** screen. If using Ollama Cloud, you also need to set your Ollama host URL in the **Settings > Ollama** screen to `https://ollama.com`. ### How do I change the Ollama host URL? By default, the provider connects to `http://localhost:11434`. You can change this in two ways: 1. Set the `OLLAMA_HOST` environment variable (takes precedence). 2. Go to **Settings > Ollama** in the WordPress admin and enter your host URL. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5a44c17d3bdc4af14ba61b24860dccecb3462b86a6fca91660365794676d2099? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfect, thanks!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfect-thanks-4/)󠁿 [soportetecnico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/soportetecnico/) May 22, 2026 I used the local provider to generate alternative text with local templates to speed up development.
