It combines: * **Guided 8-step workflow** — define a project, pick keywords + locations, choose a template, configure shortcodes, write AI prompts, set SEO rules, configure publishing, launch. * **Bring-your-own LLM** — works with any OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint. Switch between OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, or a self-hosted gateway. * **Bulk meta description regeneration** — pick a category or filter, regenerate hundreds of Yoast / RankMath meta descriptions in a single batch. * **404 tracker** — log 404s and queue the worthwhile ones into the content pipeline. * **Template system** — Block Editor / Gutenberg templates with dynamic shortcodes that map to AI-generated sections. * **Yoast / Rank Math integration** — writes generated meta descriptions to whichever SEO plugin you run. * **Queue + cron** — long-running generation handled in background with retry, rate-limit, and progress UI. * **Activity log** — every API call, validation pass, and publish event recorded for audit and debugging. SCE is built for **agencies, SEO teams, and content operations** that need to produce dozens-to-hundreds of optimized posts on a recurring schedule without burning hours on each one. ### Features * AI provider abstraction with strict OpenAI-compatible contract * Dashboard overview with queue stats, error counts, recent activity, Resume Workflow CTA * Shakvaro keepalive cron (for hosted-tier deployments that use refresh tokens) * Workflow JSON state with breadcrumb navigation across all 8 steps * Settings page with per-provider configuration + diagnostic Test Connection * CSV keyword/location bulk import * WP-CLI compatible (`wp cron event run shakcoen_process_queue`) * GPLv2-licensed; secrets stored encrypted via `SHAKCOEN_Secrets` ### Free vs Pro Everything above ships in the free plugin and works standalone — no account, no key, no locked buttons. **Shakvaro Content Engine Pro** is a separate paid add-on( distributed off WordPress.org) that turns the engine into a hands-off SEO suite. Pro adds: * **Automation** — auto-process queue cron, 404 AI validator with auto-queue, scheduled auto-image for drafts * **AI images** — multi-provider generation (DALL·E 3, Imagen, Replicate SDXL), smart alt text, near-duplicate rejection, media offload to Cloudflare R2 / S3 * **Internal linking suite** — automatic anchor engine, bulk re-link, broken-link scanner, anchor-diversity warnings, per-post stats * **RSS auto-blog** — multi-feed import with per-feed AI prompts, AI-rewrite or direct publish, deduplication * **SEO automation** — JSON-LD schema (Article / FAQ / Breadcrumb), content-decay detection + auto-refresh, crawl hygiene (noindex thin/paginated/empty archives), pillar consolidation with 301 redirects * **Content intelligence** — Originality.ai AI-detection + plagiarism gate, DataForSEO keyword volume / difficulty / CPC * **Multi-template routing** (auto by category / post type), **REST API** (headless),** activity-log CSV export**, **dashboard widget**, **failure notice with one-click retry**, and priority support Learn more: https://shakvaro.com/shakvaro-content-engine ### External services This plugin connects to several external services so that AI-generated content, URL validation, and article enrichment can happen. Every service is opt-in via configuration. No data is sent until you configure a provider and trigger a generation. **OpenAI (api.openai.com)** — only used when you configure an OpenAI API key in Settings AI Provider. It sends the prompt you author (typically including target keyword and template instructions), generation parameters, and your API key in the` Authorization` header. It is sent on: every queued post generation, every Test AI Prompt click, and every meta-description regen. Terms of use: https://openai.com/ policies/row-terms-of-use/ Privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy- policy/ **Google Gemini (generativelanguage.googleapis.com)** — only used when you configure a Gemini API key in Settings AI Provider. It sends the prompt, generation parameters, and your API key in the request URL. Same trigger points as OpenAI. Terms of use: https://ai.google.dev/terms Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy **Wikipedia REST (en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1)** — used by the optional `[olink: PHRASE]` shortcode inside generated content to resolve a phrase to its Wikipedia article URL. It sends the literal phrase (URL-encoded) as part of the request path. Up to 3 lookups per article. Responses are cached for 30 days. Triggered only when generated content contains an `[olink: ...]` shortcode. Terms of use: https://foundation. wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Terms_of_Use Privacy policy: https://foundation.wikimedia. org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy **Shakvaro WP Insights (track.shakvaro.cloud)** — optional, privacy-first usage analytics. **Off by default — nothing is sent unless you explicitly opt in** via the in-admin notice or Settings Data Sharing. When enabled, it sends, on activation and once weekly: anonymized environment data (WordPress / PHP / MySQL versions, locale, multisite flag), the plugin version, which plugin features are turned on, aggregate usage counts (e.g. how many posts have been generated, 404s tracked, templates created — numbers only, never your content, titles, keywords, prompts, or API keys), and a one-way SHA-256 hash of your site URL plus the site title. Your admin email is sent only if you separately opt in to the marketing tier. Opting out or uninstalling sends a one-time erasure request and removes the local data. This service is operated by the plugin author.

AI text substitutes here at queue processing time. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin archive via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**, or extract into`/ wp-content/plugins/shakvaro-content-engine/`. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Open **SEO AI Generator Settings** and configure your AI provider (paste an API key + endpoint URL). 4. Open **SEO AI Generator Workflow Setup** and walk through the 8-step wizard. 5. Hit **Launch** at the end; the queue processes in background via WP-Cron. ## FAQ ### Does the plugin send my content to a third-party service? Your content goes only to the AI provider you configure (OpenAI, Gemini, or any endpoint you set) — your prompt and the generated response transit that provider’s API. The plugin also includes optional, privacy-first usage analytics (Shakvaro WP Insights) that is **off by default**: nothing is sent unless you explicitly opt in, and it never includes your content, prompts, keywords, or API keys. See “External services” for the full disclosure. ### Does it work with Yoast SEO or RankMath? Yes. The plugin fills focus keyword + meta description fields automatically when either is active. ### Will it conflict with my existing posts? No. SCE never modifies posts it didn’t create unless you explicitly trigger a bulk action (e.g. “Regenerate meta descriptions”). All generated posts are marked with the `_shakcoen_generated` post meta key. ### Is there a Pro version? A Paid tier is planned and will ship as a separate **Pro** plugin distributed off WordPress.org. The free plugin remains fully functional standalone. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Shakvaro Content Engine” is open source software.

Off by default; enable it under Settings Email Alerts, with an optional custom recipient (defaults to the site admin email). No email is sent when there are no failures. * Improve: queue items with no keyword now fail fast with a clear “no keyword” message instead of wasting three AI calls and reporting a misleading “missing shortcodes” error. * Fix: when the AI provider is set to Shakvaro but its companion plugin is inactive, the plugin now reports the real reason instead of a misleading “Gemini” error, and never silently falls back to another provider. #### 1.1.3 * Fix: deleting then reinstalling the plugin no longer creates a duplicate record in usage analytics — the install identity is now derived from the site, so a reinstall reuses the same record. (Analytics SDK 1.2.7.) #### 1.1.2 * Fix: reactivating the plugin now reliably restores the “active” status in usage analytics. The activation signal is recorded during activation and sent on the next admin load (the previous approach could miss it because the analytics SDK is not fully loaded during activation). #### 1.1.1 * Fix: deactivating the plugin could show two dialogs (the plugin’s own “keep / delete data” prompt plus the analytics survey). Removed the duplicate analytics survey so the plugin’s own deactivation dialog is the single, reliable flow. #### 1.1.0 * New: optional, privacy-first usage analytics (off by default, opt-in only) to help prioritise development. See “External services”. * New: “Free vs Pro” comparison page under the plugin menu, with a one-tap “notify me when Pro launches” opt-in. * New: Support link on the Plugins screen. * Fix: readme now lists only features included in the free plugin (schema, advanced internal linking, auto-image, multi-template routing, CSV log export, and failure- retry are Pro features). #### 1.0.0 * First public release on WordPress.org. * Guided 8-step AI content workflow (project, keywords + locations, template, shortcodes, AI prompts, SEO + internal linking, publishing, launch). * Bring-your-own LLM key — OpenAI / Gemini / any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. * Bulk meta-description regeneration with per-post override. * 404 tracker with auto-queue to content generation. * Template engine with chip-block shortcode editor (Gutenberg + Elementor compatible). * Settings import / export with allowlisted option keys; secret keys encrypted at rest via AES-256-GCM. ## Meta * Version **1.2.0** * Last updated **35 seconds ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [AI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/)[content automation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/content-automation/) [content generation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/content-generation/)[meta description](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/meta-description/) [seo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/seo/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shakvaro-content-engine/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
