This guide is for HighLevel AI Studio clients who set up Buying Buddy using the older JavaScript plugin method (a <script> tag plus <bb-widget> elements) and are finding that widgets do not work reliably. AI Studio requires a completely different installation process, and the script method is not reliable there. The fix is to convert your site using the guided AI prompt below.
Did you install the wrong plugin?
If your site is built with HighLevel AI Studio, check the list below. If any of these sound like your situation, you installed the JavaScript version and should follow the migration steps on this page.
- ❌ You instructed Ai Studio assistant to install the Buying Buddy plugin using the original JavaScript plugin instructions.
- ❌ You pasted a Buying Buddy
<script>tag into your site's custom code or page head. - ❌ You added widgets to your pages as
<bb-widget>tags (for example<bb-widget data-type="SearchResults">). - ❌ Widgets show up sometimes but go blank when you click between pages.
- ❌ Widgets appear on the first page load but disappear after navigating around the site.
The correct method for an AI Studio site uses our new Ai Studio Buying Buddy plugin instead:
- ✅ Buying Buddy is added using the Ai prompt
- ✅ Widgets are placed as
<BuyingBuddyWidget>components. - ✅ Widgets load reliably and keep working as you navigate between pages.
Good news: You do not have to fix this by hand. Both options below use an AI prompt that you paste into your Ai Studio assistant — the AI does the work for you, whichever option you choose.
Choose your fix: Full Deletion or Migration
There are two ways to resolve an incorrect JavaScript install on HighLevel Ai Studio. Pick the option that matches how much Buying Buddy content you have already built on your site.
Option 1: Full Deletion (start over)
Choose this if you have just started out, your widgets are not working, and you have not yet built widgets across many pages. The cleanest path is to delete everything Buying Buddy from your site, then install fresh using the modern Ai Studio plugin.
This is destructive. Full Deletion removes the JavaScript plugin, deletes your foundation pages (Search Results and Property Details), removes the disclaimer widget from your footer, and removes every other Buying Buddy widget on every page. It is perfect if you want to start clean — but it is not the right choice if you have already built many widgets across many pages, because all of that work would be lost.
After deletion, follow the standard installation guide to set up Buying Buddy fresh on your Ai Studio site using the AI prompts: Install Buying Buddy on HighLevel Ai Studio.

Option 2: Migration (preserve your work)
Choose this if you have already built widgets across many pages and want to keep all of that work. The migration removes the JavaScript plugin and converts every existing widget to the new format in place, so your pages, widgets, and disclaimer are preserved — just upgraded to the modern system.
Full migration details and downloads are below.
How the migration works
There are two downloads below. The Agent Instructions are for you — they walk you through the whole process step by step. The AI Prompt is the text you copy and paste into your AI Studio assistant when the instructions tell you to.
- Download and read the Agent Instructions first.
- Make the account changes it describes in your Buying Buddy dashboard ().
- When prompted, paste the AI Prompt into your AI Studio assistant and follow along.
- Preview your site, then publish when everything looks right.
Important: Use this migration only if you already installed the JavaScript (<script> + <bb-widget>) version. The prompt will create a backup before making changes, and it will not publish your site — you stay in control of publishing.
