This lite plugin allows you to configure == Description == Still writing product promotion articles by hand? Let AI help! **AI Auto Content Publisher Lite** is a free WordPress plugin designed to streamline your content creation process. This plugin uses the Tongyi Qwen (qwen-max) model via the Alibaba Cloud DashScope API to generate high-quality text content. This lite version focuses on core functionality: * AI Integration: Utilizes a powerful AI model to generate high-quality text content. * Single Configuration: Set up one content generation task, including your product links, custom prompt, keywords, image URL, and image link. * **Dynamic Keywords:** Provide a list of keywords (one per line). The plugin will randomly select one for each generation, replacing the `[dynamic_keyword]` placeholder in your prompt for diverse content. * **Auto-Post/Schedule:** Choose to set the generated post status to "Published," "Draft," or "Pending Review." * **Scheduled Updates:** Set to "Daily" to run automatically once a day (requires website visits to trigger WP-Cron), or "Never" for manual-only triggering. * **Manual Trigger (Once-a-day):** A "Run Once Now" button allows you to test your configuration or generate content on demand (limited to one use per day). * **Image Handling:** Optionally add an image URL and choose to set it as a featured image or insert it at the end of the content (with a clickable link). * **Easy to Use:** A clear settings interface with status display and an activity log. * **Multi-language Support:** Choose to generate content in Chinese (zh-CN) or English (en-US). **Upgrade to Pro?** Need more features?

Upload the `ai-auto-content-publisher-lite` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to the "Settings" > "AI Content Lite" page. 4. Enter your Tongyi Qwen API key (obtainable from Alibaba Cloud DashScope). 5. Configure your product link, prompt, keywords, optional image, and publishing rules. 6. Click "Save All Settings." == External Services == This plugin connects to the Alibaba Cloud DashScope API to generate content. This is a core feature of the plugin and is required for it to function. * **Service Used:** Alibaba Cloud DashScope (which provides the Tongyi Qwen AI Model) * **What data is sent:** To generate an article, the plugin sends the following data to the API endpoint `https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/text-generation/generation`: your API Key for authentication, the user-configured prompt, product link, a randomly selected keyword, and the chosen language. * **When data is sent:** Data is sent only when a content generation task is triggered, either automatically via the daily schedule (WP-Cron) or manually by clicking the "Run Once Now (Test)" button. * **Service Terms and Privacy:** You can find the service's terms and privacy policy at the following links: * Alibaba Cloud DashScope Service Agreement: https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/2541335.html * Alibaba Cloud Legal & Compliance: https://www.alibabacloud.com/en/trust-center/legal-compliance * Alibaba Cloud Privacy Policy: https://www.alibabacloud.com/en/trust-center/privacy-policy == Frequently Asked Questions == = Do I need an API key? = Yes, you need a Tongyi Qwen (DashScope) API key to generate content with this plugin. You can register and obtain one from the official Alibaba Cloud website. = Why is the manual trigger button sometimes grayed out? = The manual trigger button is designed to be used only once per day to prevent abuse. It will reset on the following day if you have already used it. = How does automatic posting work? = If you set "Update Frequency" to "Daily" and click "Enable Daily Auto-Post," the plugin schedules a daily task using WordPress's Cron system. This task **requires a user to visit your website** to be triggered. It does not guarantee execution at the exact same time every day; it depends on your site's traffic. = Where can I see the plugin's activity log? = On the plugin's settings page ("Settings" > "AI Content Lite"), under the "Status & Control" area, there is an "Activity Log" box that displays recent operations and status messages. = How do I generate a large number of unique articles? = To ensure the plugin consistently produces unique and diverse content, the key is to provide a **large and varied list of keywords**. The plugin is designed to randomly pick one keyword from your list for each article generation. * **Best Practice:** Provide dozens or even hundreds of unique keywords, with one keyword per line. The more keywords you provide, the more varied the generated topics will be. * **Alternative:** If you have a limited number of keywords, you may need to frequently modify your **Custom Prompt** in the settings. By changing the prompt's structure, tone, or instructions, you can guide the AI to write about the same keywords from different angles. For best results, a combination of a large keyword list and occasional prompt adjustments is recommended. == Screenshots == 1. The plugin's settings page, showing all configuration options. 2.
