AI Blog Writer with Sources

Editor sidebar and Rank Math

By Luis Rita ·

Generated drafts are ordinary WordPress posts made of core blocks. They keep working if you deactivate the plugin. While it is active, the block editor shows an AI Blog Writer Details sidebar.

  • Provenance: job ID, provider, model and generation time.
  • Warnings: everything to check before publishing (see Sources and citations).
  • Sources: every source used, with retrieval dates.
  • SEO suggestions: meta title, meta description and slug, and from version 1.6 up to five related posts to link to: published posts found by searching the brief’s primary phrase, each supporting term, and the topic. They are looked up when the sidebar opens, so posts published after the draft count too. Open each before linking to check it fits.
  • Rewrite one section: see below.

A reminder at the bottom of the sidebar says that generated content can contain errors or unsupported claims.

Rewrite one section

Choose a section and an action (Rewrite for clarity, Shorten, Expand, Change tone, Add supporting detail or Remove unsupported detail), then click Generate preview. Only that section’s content, the action and the draft’s source notes go to the provider. The preview lists any warnings; nothing changes until you confirm, and the previous version stays in Revisions. The rest of the post stays as it is.

Regenerate using selected sources

From version 1.5, when the draft has sources, the action list also offers Regenerate using selected sources. Tick the sources the section should rest on, including ones you left out in Guided mode, and generate a preview. The section is rebuilt from those sources only: claims they support are kept and cited, claims they don’t support are removed and listed as warnings, and relevant facts from the sources are added. Use it after you find a better source, or when a section leans on general knowledge you would rather back up.

Rank Math integration

When Rank Math is active, the SEO suggestions panel can apply the suggested meta title, meta description and focus keyword to Rank Math. Values you already set in Rank Math are kept unless you choose to replace them.

Without Rank Math, copy the suggestions into your SEO plugin by hand.
