AutoPost AI

2.0

• Audited every GPT 4o path in the free plugin and tightened prompts so topic suggestions, full post creation, featured-image prompt building, and keyword extraction all return cleaner output.
• Added shared AI output cleanup so markdown junk, chatty intro text, code fences, and formatting noise are stripped before titles, queue items, and generated post content are saved.
• Added a stronger title sanitizer for generated topics, queued topics, manual topics, Create Now, and cron-created posts so post titles stay clean and consistent.
• Added no-em-dash rules to GPT 4o prompts and added fallback cleanup so em dashes and en dashes are replaced if they still appear.
• Kept the improved Stability AI featured-image prompt logic so featured images stay title-aware and avoid camera gear unless the title actually calls for it.
• Updated the admin model message so AutoPost AI Pro links directly to https://plugins.guru-is.com/product/autopost-ai-pro/
• Updated plugin versioning to 2.0 and aligned the plugin header, constant, stable tag, and changelog.
• Updated Tested up to to 6.9.4.
• Refined external-link validation so Create Now uses lighter, cached live-link checks, keeps searching for a working external reference, and avoids failing the full post-creation request over an aggressive link test.
• Enforced a hard maximum of 2 internal links in generated posts.
• Added a Third-Party Services section in readme.txt with service, terms, and privacy links for OpenAI, Stability AI, and Pixabay.
• Updated the bundled documentation PDF so it matches the current 2.0 workflow, admin tabs, image behavior, link rules, and troubleshooting guidance.

1.4

• Rebuilt Stability AI featured-image prompt generation so the free version creates more title-specific hero images instead of generic camera-heavy teaser art.
• Added a hard camera and photography-gear ban for Stability AI featured images unless the post title is actually about cameras, photography, videography, or filmmaking.
• Added GPT 4o featured-image prompt building in the free version with a stronger fallback prompt when OpenAI prompt generation is unavailable.
• Updated free-version marketing text and readme copy to mention GPT 4o in free and GPT 5.4 in Pro.

• Updated free-version topic suggestion requests to use GPT 4o for consistency.

• Fixed the Image Generator Image File Name field so it no longer fights typing while you enter a name.

• Auto-created Stability AI featured images now always use a fixed 3:2 ratio in the free teaser flow.

• Replaced the old dashboard upsell box with a cleaner dismissible upgrade notice shown only on the plugin page.

• Shortened and softened the upgrade messaging to keep the upsell path more helpful and less promotional.
• Added clearer Pro teaser text for upgraded AI image engines, stronger text generation, and the Image Generator.
• Added free Stability AI teaser support using Stable Image Core: Fast and Affordable for featured images on created posts.
• Added the basic Image Generator tab powered by Stable Image Core in the free version.
• Preserved Stability AI option names in the database so saved settings stay ready for the upgrade path to Pro.
• Updated free-plugin image messaging to explain that Pixabay still handles inline images while Stability AI can handle the featured image.
• Updated readme content to match the current free plugin workflow and teaser image functionality.

1.3

• Improved admin polish and plugin messaging.

1.0

• Initial release with AI topic suggestions, queue management, scheduled draft creation, Pixabay image support, CTA options, and email notifications.
