Everything the plugin does, and how to set it up
Start with Getting started. Every page is also available as plain Markdown (add .md to the URL) and in llms-full.txt.
Getting started
Install the plugin, connect an AI provider with your own API key, and create your first source-backed WordPress draft in about ten minutes.
AI providers and API keys
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or xAI Grok with your own API key, store it encrypted or in wp-config.php, and test the connection.
Delegated and Guided workflows
How each job moves from research to outline to draft, and when to use Guided mode to review sources and the outline before the plugin writes.
Sources and citations
What makes a good source URL, how the plugin fetches and extracts it, how citations appear in the draft, and what the warnings mean.
Writer profiles
Create reusable writer profiles with voice, tone, expertise and words to avoid, linked to a real WordPress author, or have AI propose one from a sample.
Editor sidebar and Rank Math
Use the AI Blog Writer panel in the block editor to check provenance, warnings and sources, rewrite one section, and apply SEO metadata to Rank Math.
Usage and cost ceilings
Track provider token usage and estimated cost per job, and set site-wide or per-user monthly cost ceilings so spending on your own API key stays predictable.
Background jobs and WP-Cron
How generation runs as resumable WP-Cron stages, what to do on low-traffic sites or with DISABLE_WP_CRON, and how to run a stage with WP-CLI.
Privacy and external services
What the plugin sends to your AI provider, source URLs, and optional usage data, what it stores, retention, export and erasure, and uninstall.
Troubleshooting
What each AI Blog Writer error means and how to fix it, from API keys and provider limits to stuck jobs, failing sources and section rewrites.
AI Blog Writer Pro
Set up the paid add-on that finds sources automatically and checks every claim in your drafts against them. License, Tavily key, and what the checks mean.
