No request is ever made until a site administrator configures a provider (an API key in the plugin settings, or a provider under Settings Connectors) and a permitted user actively triggers a feature. The plugin does not collect analytics and does not track visitors or site users. When an API key is saved in the plugin settings, requests go directly from your server to the selected provider (OpenAI or Google Gemini). When no key is saved, requests go through the WordPress AI Client to the provider connected under Settings Connectors. What is sent for content generation, internal links and chat: the post title and post content of the entry being edited (truncated before sending), the custom prompt configured for the field, the chat messages you type, the recent chat history of the current conversation, and your WordPress display name so the assistant can address you by name. When it is sent: only when a logged-in, permitted user clicks a “Generate” or “Regenerate” button, requests internal links, or sends a chat message. #### OpenAI API Used when “OpenAI (GPT)” is selected and an API key is saved. Requests are sent to https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions with the data listed above and your API key. To show which models your key can use, the settings page also sends your API key to https://api.openai.com/v1/models when the key is saved, when “Refresh available models” is clicked, or when the settings page is opened after the cached list (kept for 6 hours) has expired. * Terms of use: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/ * Privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/ #### Google Gemini API Used when “Google Gemini” is selected and an API key is saved. Requests are sent to https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/ with the data listed above and your API key. * Terms of service: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms * Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy #### WordPress AI Client / connected providers Used when no API key is saved in the plugin and an AI provider is connected under Settings Connectors (WordPress 7.0+). The request is sent with the data listed above to whichever provider the site owner has connected. Official provider plugins register with the Connectors screen and send the request from your server. Provider terms depend on which connector you enable, for example: * OpenAI terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/ * OpenAI privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/ * Google Gemini terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms * Google privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * Anthropic terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/terms * Anthropic privacy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy #### Upstash Search (optional) Used only for the internal linking feature, and only when “Use Upstash for Search” is enabled in the Internal Links settings and an Upstash REST URL and token are configured. When it is disabled, the plugin uses the built-in WordPress search instead and contacts no external search service. What is sent: search queries derived from the keywords of the post being edited, sent to the Upstash Search REST endpoint you configure, together with your Upstash REST token. When it is sent: only when a user generates internal link suggestions while the option is enabled. Terms of service: https://upstash.com/trust/terms.pdf Privacy policy: https://upstash. com/trust/privacy.pdf ### Support For support, please use the plugin’s support forum on WordPress.org.

You use your own OpenAI or Google Gemini API key, or the provider you connect under Settings Connectors. Costs depend on that provider’s pricing. This plugin does not add its own usage fees. The Usage Guardrails settings let you cap daily requests and tokens. ### I am updating from version 1.0.0. Do I need to enter an API key? No. If you do not save an API key, the plugin keeps using the WordPress AI Client and the provider you connected under Settings Connectors, exactly as in 1.0.0. Your fields, prompts, limits, Quick Prompts and User Access settings are kept. You can add an API key later to call OpenAI or Gemini directly. ### How is my API key stored? API keys and the Upstash token are encrypted with a key derived from your site’s WordPress salts, stored in a separate option that is not autoloaded, and never printed back into the settings page. ### How do character limits work? Simply enter a number in the “Char Limit” field (e.g., 140 for meta descriptions). The AI will generate content within that limit, and a safety net ensures it never exceeds the limit. Truncation happens at sentence boundaries for natural-looking content. ### Can I set both character and word limits? Yes, but typically you’d use one or the other. If both are set, the AI will respect whichever limit is more restrictive. For SEO meta descriptions, use character limits. For article summaries, word limits work better. ### What if I don’t set any limits? That’s fine! The plugin will generate content based on your custom prompt instructions. Limits are optional and only needed when you have specific requirements (like SEO meta descriptions). ### Does it work with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)? Yes! It works perfectly with ACF, Meta Box, Pods, and standard WordPress custom fields. It also supports Yoast SEO and Rank Math fields. ### Can I use it on custom post types? Yes! The plugin works on all public post types. You can control access through user permissions. ### How does the internal links feature work? The AI analyzes your post content, extracts relevant keywords, and matches them with other posts in your database. You can review and approve links before they’re applied to your content. ### Can I customize the AI prompts? Yes! Each field can have its own custom prompt. You can specify instructions, tone, format requirements, and any other details. The character/word limits are set in separate fields for precision. ### What happens if I get a “Token limit reached” error? The plugin includes automatic token optimization. It adaptively reduces article content when generating short outputs (like meta descriptions) to prevent token errors. You can also raise “Max Output Tokens” in the settings. ### Does the chat feature remember conversation history? Yes! The chat maintains conversation context throughout your session, allowing for follow-up questions and deeper analysis. ### Can I use both OpenAI and Gemini? You can switch between providers in settings; one provider is active at a time. When requests go through Settings Connectors, the selected provider is a preference and the WordPress AI Client falls back to any compatible connected model. ### How do I control who can use AI features? Go to Settings Dropndot AI Content for Custom Fields User Access tab. Administrators always have access. You can grant access to specific users who can edit posts. ### What happens to my data when I delete the plugin? By default your settings are kept, so re-installing restores them. To erase everything on delete, enable “Remove all plugin data when the plugin is deleted” under Settings General Data & Uninstall. Deactivation never deletes data. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Dropndot AI Content for Custom Fields” is open source software.

Sites without a key keep using the WordPress AI Client (Settings Connectors) as in 1.0.0. * **NEW**: Choose the Gemini model and the OpenAI model; the OpenAI list is filtered to the models your API key can reach, with a “Refresh available models” button. * **NEW**: Configurable max output tokens, retry attempts and continuation count. * **NEW**: Per-user request rate limiting plus site-wide daily request and token quotas with a hard stop (Settings General Usage Guardrails). * **NEW**: Response cache and in-flight de-duplication for identical generations(“ Regenerate” always bypasses it). * **NEW**: Monitoring tab showing today’s usage and the 100 most recent AI calls( user, action, model, field, status, tokens), stored in a local log table pruned after 30 days. * **NEW**: “Remove all plugin data when the plugin is deleted” option (Settings General Data & Uninstall). Off by default, so deleting the plugin keeps settings, Quick Prompts and User Access unless you opt in. * **SECURITY**: API keys and the Upstash token are encrypted at rest (site-salt derived), stored in a dedicated non-autoloaded option, and never rendered into the settings page. An Upstash token saved by 1.0.0 is encrypted and moved there automatically. * **SECURITY**: Raw provider error messages are no longer shown in the browser; a generic message is displayed and the detail is kept in the local log. * **CHANGED**: Explicitly granted users must also hold the edit_posts capability. A new `dnaic_user_has_access` filter can adjust access. * **CHANGED**: The custom field list in the post editor no longer scans all post meta on every page load. * **CHANGED**: Debug details for internal link errors are only returned when WP_DEBUG is enabled. * **CHANGED**: Minimum WordPress version lowered to 6.0 for the API key connection; Settings Connectors still requires WordPress 7.0. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * Custom field AI generation through the WordPress AI Client * Character and word limits with sentence-boundary truncation * Internal links feature * AI chat assistant * Custom prompts support * User access control * SEO field support (Yoast SEO, Rank Math) * WYSIWYG formatting support * Quick prompts feature ## Meta * Version **2.0.0** * Last updated **3 weeks ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [AI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/)[content generation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/content-generation/) [custom fields](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/custom-fields/)[Gemini](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/gemini/) [openai](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/openai/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dropndot-ai-content-custom-fields/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
