## Description
Luis Rita AI Blog Writer with Sources is a draft-first AI blog writer. It creates
normal WordPress block content from your brief and selected sources, and never publishes
automatically.
This plugin is bring-your-own-key only. There is no bundled account, subscription,
or upsell.
* Use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or xAI API key and choose a GPT, Claude,
Gemini, or Grok model.
* Choose a Delegated or Guided workflow, supply up to eight source URLs, and review
the outline in Guided mode.
* Get a normal WordPress draft with sources, warnings, metadata suggestions, and
provenance.
* Save writer profiles linked to WordPress author accounts.
* Track provider usage with an optional estimated cost ceiling.
Generated content can contain errors, unsupported claims, or bias. Human review
is required before publication. No ranking, traffic, accuracy, or legal-safety guarantee
is made.
#### External services
This plugin sends data to two kinds of external destinations. Both happen only after
an administrator configures an API key or a user supplies URLs. Nothing is sent
during installation, activation, or idle time.
**1. Your selected AI provider**
Requests go to the provider matching the configured API key:
* OpenAI — `https://api.openai.com/v1/models`, `https://api.openai.com/v1/responses`
* Anthropic — `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/models`, `https://api.anthropic.com/
v1/messages`
* Google — `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models`, `.../v1beta/
models/{model}:generateContent`
* xAI — `https://api.x.ai/v1/models`, `https://api.x.ai/v1/chat/completions`
What is sent, and when:
* **Test connection** (Settings Test connection, and automatically once when an
administrator submits a new article brief): the API key and a request for the
provider’s model list. No content is sent.
* **Outline stage** (after a job reaches the outline stage): the API key, selected
model, your brief fields (topic, talking points, audience, search intent, keyword
phrases, tone, length, language, market, call to action, include/avoid notes),
the selected writer profile, and extracted notes plus titles and URLs of the
selected sources.
* **Draft stage** (after the outline is generated in Delegated mode, or approved
in Guided mode): the same brief, writer profile, and source notes, plus the approved
outline.
* **Propose writer profile** (Writer profiles Propose editable profile): the API
key, your prompt text, and any writing sample you paste.
* **Rewrite section** (block editor sidebar): the API key, the section content,
your instruction, and the source notes attached to that section.
Never sent: WordPress credentials, other database contents, visitor data, or payment
data. API keys stay server-side and are never exposed to the browser or the REST
API.
Provider terms and data policies apply to everything sent:
* https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/
* https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
* https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/your-data
* https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms
* https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
* https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
* https://policies.google.com/privacy
* https://x.ai/legal/terms-of-service
* https://x.ai/legal/privacy-policy
**2. Source URLs you supply**
During research, your server fetches each URL in the brief with a plain HTTP request
identified as `Luis-Rita-AI-Blog-Writer/; `. No brief content,
key, or user data is sent. Private addresses are rejected, redirects are limited
to three, and responses are capped at 1 MB.
### Privacy and data retention
#### What the plugin stores
In your own database only: jobs (brief, status, settings snapshot, owner, linked
post), sources and extracted notes, generated outline and draft versions, usage
and estimated cost per request, writer profiles, post meta on generated drafts (
job ID, provenance, SEO suggestions, warnings), the risk acknowledgement in user
meta, and settings plus encrypted API keys in options.
Nothing is sent to the plugin author. The plugin contains no analytics, tracking,
or phone-home code.
#### Retention
A daily WP-Cron event enforces the **Prompt/source/log retention days** setting (
default 90). For completed jobs older than the cutoff it deletes sources and artifacts
and clears the stored brief. Older usage rows are deleted. Generated posts are always
kept.
#### Personal data export and erasure
**Tools Export Personal Data** returns a user’s jobs and writer profiles. **Tools
Erase Personal Data** removes their profiles, sources, artifacts, generated-content
post meta, and acknowledgement, and unlinks their jobs and usage. Posts are kept.
#### Uninstall
Uninstall always removes the plugin capabilities. Define `AIBCG_REMOVE_DATA_ON_UNINSTALL`
as `true` first to also delete plugin tables, options, encrypted keys, transients,
and metadata on every site. Generated posts and linked author accounts are always
kept.
### Troubleshooting
#### Missing or invalid API key
Keys are stored per provider: after changing the provider, click **Save Changes**,
then save its key. Keys defined in `wp-config.php` cannot be edited here. Saving
keys requires Sodium.
#### Provider errors
```
provider_http_401: key rejected. `provider_http_429`: rate limit or quota. `provider_unreachable`: the server cannot reach the provider over HTTPS. "Selected model is unavailable": choose another model and test the connection again.
```
#### Jobs stay queued
WP-Cron is not running. Check **AI Blog Writer Diagnostics**, schedule `wp-cron.
php` from a server scheduler, then click **Retry stage**.
#### Source URLs fail
Sources must be public HTML or plain-text pages. Replace the URL and start a new
job.
#### Reporting a problem
Download the JSON report from **AI Blog Writer Diagnostics**. It excludes API keys,
prompts, article text, and source notes.

## Installation
1. Copy the plugin directory into `/wp-content/plugins/` and activate it.
2. Open **AI Blog Writer Settings**.
3. Choose a provider and model, enter its API key, save, and test the connection.
4. Open **New article**, review the acknowledgement, and create a draft.
For strongest secret isolation, define this in `wp-config.php` instead of saving
a key:
```
define( 'AIBCG_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'your-key' );
```
For other providers, use `AIBCG_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `AIBCG_GOOGLE_API_KEY`, or `
AIBCG_XAI_API_KEY`.
Saved keys are encrypted with Sodium using `AIBCG_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, or `AUTH_KEY`
if undefined. Define a stable `AIBCG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` so rotating `AUTH_KEY` does
not invalidate saved keys.
Generation runs as resumable WP-Cron stages. See the FAQ for sites with low traffic
or `DISABLE_WP_CRON`.
## FAQ
### Does it publish automatically?
No. Every successful generation creates a draft.
### Does it search the web automatically?
No. The plugin extracts only the URLs supplied by the user.
### Do I need a paid account with the plugin author?
No. The plugin is bring-your-own-key only. You pay your chosen AI provider directly,
and the plugin stores no billing data.
### What remains if I deactivate it?
Generated posts remain normal editable WordPress blocks. Deactivation does not delete
posts or plugin data.
### Does it work on low-traffic sites or with WP-Cron disabled?
Yes. WP-Cron runs on site requests, and the job screen checks status every few seconds,
so stages advance while it is open. If you leave, the job continues on the next
site request. With `DISABLE_WP_CRON`, stages advance only when a server scheduler
calls `wp-cron.php`; run it every minute. Administrators can also run one stage
with `wp aibcg job run `.
### Does it work with Rank Math?
Yes. When Rank Math is active, the editor sidebar can apply the suggested meta title,
meta description, and focus keyword to it. Values you already set in Rank Math are
kept unless you choose to replace them.
### Does it support multisite?
Yes. Activate it per site or network-wide. Network activation sets up every site,
including sites created later. Each site keeps its own API keys, settings, jobs,
and writer profiles.
