FAQ

Do I need API keys?

Yes, you need at least one API key from OpenAI (https://platform.openai.com) or Deepseek (https://platform.deepseek.com). You can use both providers if you want.

How much does it cost?

The plugin itself is completely free. However, you pay for API usage to OpenAI and/or Deepseek based on their pricing:
* OpenAI: Pay-per-token pricing, varies by model (check their pricing page)
* Deepseek: Generally more affordable than OpenAI (check their pricing page)

Typical costs:
* Generating a blog post title: $0.001 – $0.01
* Generating full article (500-1000 words): $0.02 – $0.10
* The exact cost depends on the model, prompt length, and generated content length

Is my data safe?

Yes. Security measures include:
* All API communications use HTTPS encryption
* API keys stored securely in WordPress database
* No data stored on third-party servers after generation
* WordPress nonces and capability checks
* Input sanitization and output escaping

Your content is sent to AI providers only when you explicitly request generation. Please review the “External Services” section and AI providers’ privacy policies.

Can I use custom prompts?

Yes! Magic Wand feature allows you to enter completely custom prompts for any block. You can also customize default prompts using WordPress filters.

Which AI provider should I use?

OpenAI:
* Higher quality outputs
* Better understanding of complex prompts
* More expensive
* Recommended for: critical content, marketing copy

Deepseek:
* Faster generation
* More affordable
* Good quality for most use cases
* Recommended for: blog posts, drafts, bulk generation

You can switch between providers anytime or use both.

Which post types are supported?

All public post types including:
* Posts
* Pages
* Custom Post Types (configured in Settings)

Can I limit who can use AI generation?

Yes, the plugin respects WordPress capabilities:
* edit_posts – required for using generator panel and Magic Wand
* publish_posts – required for bulk post generation
* manage_options – required for plugin settings

Configure user roles in WordPress to control access.

How does Magic Wand work?

Select any supported block (paragraph, heading, quote, etc.)
Click the magic wand icon in the block toolbar
Enter your prompt (e.g., “Write about WordPress AI plugins”)
Click Generate
Content appears in your block instantly!

What languages are supported?

AI models support all major languages. You can:
* Generate content in any language by specifying it in your prompt
* Use the Translate Text action to translate between languages
* Plugin interface available in English and Russian

Can developers extend the plugin?

Yes! The plugin provides WordPress filters for customization:

smartypress_ai_prompt_{action} – Customize prompts
smartypress_ai_wand_params – Modify AI parameters
smartypress_ai_wand_features – Add custom actions

See documentation for examples.

Does this work with the classic editor?

No, this plugin requires the Gutenberg block editor (WordPress 5.0+). It’s designed specifically for block-based editing.

Can I use this for WooCommerce products?

Yes, if WooCommerce products are enabled as a public post type, you can generate product descriptions, titles, and other content.

What happens if I run out of API credits?

Generation will fail with an error message. You’ll need to add credits to your OpenAI or Deepseek account. The plugin will show the API error message to help you troubleshoot.

What happens when I uninstall the plugin?

When you delete the plugin through WordPress admin, all plugin data will be completely removed:
* Plugin settings and API keys
* All options and transients
* Post meta created by the plugin (if any)
* User meta created by the plugin (if any)

Note: Generated content (posts, titles, excerpts) will NOT be deleted as they are your content. Only plugin-specific data is removed.

If you want to keep your settings for future use, simply deactivate the plugin instead of deleting it.
