Description

What the plugin provides
– Custom Post Type socranext_post for AI-optimized articles (default URL slug artikelen-sn, configurable via the SocraNext platform).
– Custom Taxonomy socranext (hierarchical) for categorizing those articles.
– Template-based rendering for single/archive article views (plugin templates via template_include).
– Admin screens under SocraNext (Overview, Articles, Categories). FAQ management is handled via the SocraNext platform.
– Cache flush on (de)activation to correctly register permalinks.

Display
The plugin renders views via bundled templates for:
– Single SocraNext articles and archive list.

Structured Data
– The FAQ display includes FAQPage JSON-LD to help search engines and AI systems better understand the Q&As.
– SocraNext articles output their own SEO title, meta description, Open Graph tags and Article JSON-LD (independent of third-party SEO plugins; mirrored into Yoast / AIOSEO / Rank Math when present).

REST API (for platform integration)
Under the namespace socranext/v1, routes include:
– GET /pages and GET /pages/{id} – list site pages (for adding/showing FAQ widgets).
– POST /toggle – enable/disable the FAQ widget per page.
– POST /store-aio-information and GET /aio-information/{page_id} – store/retrieve per-page FAQ data.
– POST /blog and POST /store-blog-custom – create articles and store global custom HTML/CSS/JS for article display.
– POST /collection-slugs – sync the configurable articles URL slug from the SocraNext platform (rewrite flush + cache purge).
– GET /articles-list-custom – retrieve configuration for list views.
– POST /llmstxt and GET /llmstxt – publish and read llms.txt / llms-full.txt content from the SocraNext platform; served at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt on the site.

Note: without an account/connection to app.socranext.ai, the auto-generation routes are typically not used, but the created post types, taxonomy, and pages remain available for display.

Privacy & external services
– The plugin does not call external APIs on its own; the integration is typically initiated by the SocraNext platform to your website.
– Websites: product site https://socranext.ai and platform https://app.socranext.ai.

Prefix & naming policy

All plugin identifiers use the unique prefix family “SocraNext”:
- Functions, hooks, options, AJAX actions, REST namespace, script/style handles: socranext_* (lowercase)
- Constants: SOCRANEXT_* (uppercase)
- Human-facing labels and PHP namespaces (if used): SocraNext (PascalCase)
We avoid reserved prefixes like wp_, _, and __ for custom identifiers.
Existing options and routes already comply; no migrations are required.

SocraNext is one of the most impressive WordPress plugins I have used in a long time. With just one click, it prepares your entire website to be discoverable in AI tools. The setup is straightforward, the interface is intuitive, and you do not need any technical background to get started. What really stands out is how easy it is to fully customize the output. You can style all generated content so it perfectly matches the look and feel of your website. This makes the integration seamless and professional. If you care about AI visibility and want a solution that is both powerful and simple to use, SocraNext is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Changelog

1.12.0

Added: On multilingual sites (WPML or Polylang) SocraNext can now publish each article in your other languages, linked as translations of the original.
Changed: Removing an article also removes the language versions SocraNext published for it; translations you made yourself in WPML or Polylang are left untouched.
Changed: The SEO title and meta description of SocraNext articles are no longer offered in WPML’s Translation Editor; SocraNext writes them per language itself.
Fixed: New articles and categories on multilingual sites are always assigned a language, so they no longer disappear from your site and the article overview.
Fixed: Translated articles now show labels such as “In this article” and “In short” in the page language, instead of keeping the Dutch wording.
Fixed: On Polylang sites with the language in the URL (for example /en/…), translated articles that sit under a category no longer show a “page not found” error.
Fixed: Saving an article’s FAQ without changing anything no longer clears that page from the cache.
Fixed: Search engines keep seeing a FAQ’s questions and answers when one of them contains a double quote.

1.11.0

Changed: Saving a FAQ now refreshes only the cache of the page it belongs to; the home page, archives and the rest of the site stay cached.
Changed: Saving a FAQ that has not changed no longer clears any cache.
Changed: Saving styling that has not changed no longer clears any cache.
Changed: Turning a FAQ on or off can now be sent together with its questions in one save, so the page is refreshed once instead of twice.
Fixed: On sites with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Cache Enabler, SiteGround Optimizer, WP-Optimize, NitroPack, Hummingbird or WP Fastest Cache, FAQ and article updates now reliably appear on the live page.
Fixed: On sites with Proxy Cache Purge (Varnish or nginx), Breeze, Spark Speed or the Cloudflare plugin, FAQ and article updates now reach the cache through the plugin’s own purge instead of a full site refresh.
Fixed: On multilingual sites with a separate domain per language and LiteSpeed Cache, FAQ updates on the non-default language domains now refresh the cached page.
Fixed: Viewing a product page no longer triggers a cache purge of that product and the home page on sites with WP Rocket or Hummingbird.
Fixed: Saving article or archive styling no longer empties the site’s object cache (sessions, carts and transients are kept).
Added: After each save the plugin reports which pages were refreshed and how well it could reach the site’s cache, so SocraNext can rebuild those pages before a visitor lands on them.

1.10.0

Added: FAQ headings, article titles and buttons can now have their own wording per language on multilingual sites.
Added: The call-to-action on article pages can now be turned off from SocraNext.
Changed: On WooCommerce sites the FAQ now appears directly below the product or the product list, and with display set to shortcode only it no longer appears automatically.
Fixed: FAQ blocks, articles and article lists no longer lose their styling on sites that use an optimization plugin such as LiteSpeed Cache.
Fixed: Removing SocraNext content no longer deletes images that are also used on your own pages or products.
Security: Tightened who can read SocraNext data on your site (update recommended).

1.9.0

Added: Articles can now use a new reading layout, with a table of contents that follows along while scrolling, breadcrumbs, the featured image at the top, related articles at the bottom and optional extras such as a key-takeaways box, a call-to-action, a reading progress bar and a blog face; switch it on per site in SocraNext.
Added: The articles overview now shows each article’s featured image.
Changed: Articles now credit your own organisation as author and publisher in their structured data instead of a generic default name.
Changed: Maintenance and reliability improvements.

1.8.0

Fixed: Publishing the same article twice no longer creates a duplicate.
Fixed: An article keeps its category when that category was deleted in WordPress; the category is recreated by name.

1.7.0

Added: Every language version of a page can now have its own FAQ, so a Dutch page and its English translation no longer share one set of questions.
Added: SocraNext articles and article categories can be translated with WPML or Polylang.
Fixed: WPML no longer overwrites FAQs that are managed per language in SocraNext.

1.6.5
