FAQ
-
Does this plugin work with the free OpenAI API?
-
No. To ensure high-quality content generation, the plugin is designed to use premium models like GPT-4o, GPT-4, and DALL-E 3. You must have a funded OpenAI account.
-
What happens if the generation process fails for a topic?
-
The plugin will automatically re-queue the topic and try again up to two more times. If it fails a third time, it is moved to a “Failed Topics” list (visible in your settings) with the reason for failure, and the plugin moves on to the next topic. This prevents a single problematic topic from halting all content generation.
-
Can I control the style and tone of the generated content?
-
Absolutely. The “Prompts” tab in the settings allows you to fully customize the instructions given to the AI. You can define its persona, writing style, formatting requirements, and much more.
-
Which SEO plugins are supported?
-
The plugin has direct integration for Rank Math, SEOPress, and Yoast SEO. It will automatically populate the meta title, description, and focus keywords for your generated posts.
