On WordPress 7.0+, it uses the native WordPress AI Client and the text-generation provider configured by the site owner in Settings > Connectors. The plugin does not connect directly to OpenAI or store new provider credentials. * AI Suggestions: generates proposed improvements, missed steps and follow-up questions about an existing project. * Statement of Work: generates a draft document from project goals and task details. * What external service is used: Whichever compatible AI provider the site owner connects in WordPress Settings > Connectors (such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Google); providers and terms vary. * What is sent: Project name, description and goals (when available), and the relevant task/step text including categories/subcategories, dependencies and notes. Only tasks the user can view are included. * When information is sent: Only when the plugin’s optional AI feature is enabled and a logged-in user explicitly requests an AI result. WordPress handles the provider API request using the site owner’s configured credentials. * Credentials: Configure the provider via Settings > Connectors. Old OpenAI keys in legacy Planner settings are not transferred to WordPress; they are removed from the legacy option on upgrade. No AI call is made merely by enabling AI or viewing an ordinary project page. * Data retention: The plugin temporarily caches generated suggestions and Statements of Work for up to 12 hours; provider processing and retention depend on the provider’s terms. The plugin does not promise a provider-independent equivalent of the old OpenAI `store: false` option. * Provider terms/privacy: Review the policies of the provider you choose before activating AI. Examples: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/ ; https:// www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy ; https://policies.google.com/privacy . * Costs: Any AI API charges are billed under the credentials configured in WordPress; Undergroundact Project Planner does not pay those charges. Administrators can view recent successful requests and provider-reported tokens in Planner AI Settings. The adjustable prompt-size guard measures bytes, not tokens or dollars; the existing 12-hour response cache avoids repeat requests, while refreshing makes another provider call. Recent usage metadata (not prompts or generated content) is stored in a bounded WordPress option, with entries older than 30 days pruned on the next successful request. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` (or install via the Plugins screen). 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Create a WordPress Page and place this shortcode in the content: 4. [betpp_dashboard] 5. In WP Admin, go to Undergroundact Project Planner Getting Started. 6. Define your lookups (Projects, Categories, Subcategories, Statuses, Priorities, Frequencies, Owners). 7. Set User Access (who can view/edit by project + category). 8. Use Bulk Import to paste tasks and start running work. 9. Optional AI: go to Settings > Connectors and configure an AI provider, then enable AI under Undergroundact Project Planner > AI Settings. The site owner is responsible for AI service costs and policies. ## FAQ ### Will uninstall delete my tasks? No. By default, uninstall keeps data. A planner is a database of record; uninstall should not wipe your work. ### Does Undergroundact Project Planner use custom database tables? Yes. Undergroundact Project Planner stores planner data in custom database tables( vsl_plan_*). This keeps task/project data fast and structured without overloading postmeta. Tables used include: * vsl_plan_categories * vsl_plan_frequencies * vsl_plan_item_categories * vsl_plan_item_subcategories * vsl_plan_owners * vsl_plan_priorities * vsl_plan_projects * vsl_plan_statuses * vsl_plan_subcategories * vsl_plan_tasks * vsl_plan_time_entries * vsl_plan_user_categories * vsl_plan_vendors These tables are created/updated via WordPress’s dbDelta() during activation/upgrade checks. ### How do I completely remove plugin data? By default, uninstall keeps data (see uninstall.php) to prevent accidental loss. To remove all Undergroundact Project Planner data manually: 1. Deactivate and uninstall the plugin. 2. Using a database tool (e.g. phpMyAdmin), drop the vsl_plan_* tables listed above. (An optional “delete data on uninstall” setting may be added in a future release; it would remain OFF by default.) ### How do I export to CSV? Each list view includes an Export CSV button. Exports respect your current filters and sorting. ### Can I use this without AI? Yes. AI suggestions are optional and disabled by default. ### Does this work with caching plugins? Yes. CSV exports are routed through a non-cacheable endpoint. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Undergroundact Project Planner” is open source software.
