Post Chick Pro
Need the premium edition? Post Chick Pro is available separately from PingBooster. Visit the official Post Chick Pro page for its current features, plans, licensing terms, and purchase options.
Post Chick Free remains usable without purchasing Post Chick Pro. The Pro edition is a separate premium product and is not hosted on WordPress.org.
External services
Post Chick can optionally connect to Google Gemini or OpenAI when an administrator enables AI generation, selects a provider, saves an API key, and an editor clicks Auto Complete. The current title, main keyword, content type, and article text are sent to the selected provider to generate a suggested title, article HTML, and meta description. No provider request is made when external AI is disabled.

API availability, free-tier quotas, and charges are controlled by each provider. ChatGPT subscriptions and OpenAI API billing are separate.
Post Chick improves content readiness but cannot guarantee rankings, indexing, traffic, or inclusion in AI-generated answers.

FAQ
-
Does Post Chick guarantee Google rankings?
-
No. It helps writers improve content structure and completeness, but search engines make their own ranking and indexing decisions.
-
Does the Free version require an AI API?
-
No. Local generation works without a key. Gemini and OpenAI are optional and use an administrator’s own API account.
-
Can I use my ChatGPT Plus subscription as an API key?
-
No. ChatGPT subscriptions and OpenAI API usage are billed separately. Create an API key in the OpenAI Platform and check its billing settings.
-
Can an administrator publish despite warnings?
-
Yes. Authorized roles can record an override reason and accept responsibility for unresolved recommendations.
-
What should I do if I find a bug?
-
Please ask the developer in the Post Chick support forum. Include your WordPress version, PHP version, Post Chick version, the steps that reproduce the problem, and any visible error message. Do not post passwords, API keys, license keys, or private customer information.
