 * Hi,
 * Newcomer to WordPress looking for a little help. The plugin looks awesome but
   when I submit a message to the AI, I get the following error:
 * “Error while calling OpenAI: cURL error 56: Received HTTP code 403 from proxy
   after CONNECT”
 * I’ve tried to read up and search as to why this is happening, but haven’t got
   any guidance. What’s causing this, and can you provide instructions how to resolve?
   Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Are you sure OpenAI is accessible in your country?

 * Hi Jordy. Thanks for coming back to me.
 * Yes – I am in the UK. The AI Playground is working, but it’s the live (public)
   blog that provides that error when an input is submitted.
