All settings live under AI Content Writer → Settings, organized into tabs. With Pro active, two more tabs appear: SEO Pack and Automation.
General
- Allowed Hosts / Default Host — the hosts Articles campaigns may scrape. Currently, Bing is the supported host.
- SEO Integration panel — shows which SEO plugin was detected (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, or SEOPress). See SEO Integration.
- Meta Description Fallback — output a basic meta description tag for generated posts when no SEO plugin is active (auto-disabled when one is).
- Log Retention — how long log entries are kept before automatic cleanup (1 day to forever).
API Settings
- API Model — the AI provider used by instant generation and the editor assistants (campaigns pick their own provider via their type). All configured providers appear here, including Pro ones.
- Gemini API Key & Model — with automatic model-list loading and a Test Connection button.
- ChatGPT API Secret Key & Model — same.
- Claude / DeepSeek / OpenRouter (Pro) — the Pro provider keys and models appear on this tab.
- Image Source — Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay, or OpenAI GPT Image (Pro), with per-service API keys.
All keys display masked after saving (••••••••1234); leave the masked value untouched to keep the stored key. See API Keys & AI Providers.
Not seeing a newly added model? Model lists are cached for 24 hours. Click Test Connection for that provider to fetch the current list, then reload the page.
Image Generation
- Enable Image Generation — the default for featured images: it pre-ticks Generate Thumbnail on new campaigns and Choose a featured image on the Generate Content page. Images come from the image source set under API Settings.
- Image Generator (recommended, optional) — a free companion plugin for AI-generated featured images. Image generation works without it.
SEO Pack (Pro)
- FAQ Generation — add an FAQ section (1–10 questions) with FAQPage schema to every article.
- Related Articles — internal linking section with a configurable link count.
- SEO Score Gate — hold posts below a minimum score (0–100) as drafts; configure the minimum score and word-count threshold.
- Cite Sources — append a nofollow source link on scraped campaigns.
Automation (Pro)
- Drip Publishing — spread campaign posts out with a randomized gap (min–max minutes) instead of publishing instantly.
- Publishing Window — only publish between chosen hours in your site’s timezone.
- Posts Per Day — a per-campaign daily cap; overflow rolls to the next day.
- Webhook URL — POST a JSON payload to any URL (Zapier, Make, n8n) whenever a post goes live.
