Added an optional Settings page to configure a direct OpenAI image fallback for sites where the WordPress AI Client has no image model. Enter your OpenAI key and choose from the image models your key can access.
Image generation order is now: WordPress AI Client → direct OpenAI (if a key is configured) → stock photo.
1.20.0
Now generates both the post text and the featured image entirely through the WordPress AI Client. You configure your AI provider once at the site level — no API key is entered in the plugin.
Removed the plugin’s settings page, its stored API key, the custom connector/MCP endpoints, and all direct provider calls.
If the configured provider cannot generate an image, the draft falls back to a free stock photo so it still gets a featured image.
Requires WordPress 7.0 or later (where the AI Client ships in core).
1.19.0
Renamed the plugin to “DraftForge – AI Draft Poster” for a distinctive, unambiguous identity.
API key and connector/MCP tokens are now stored verbatim (only trimmed), so credentials are never altered on save.
Moved the admin menu item lower so it no longer sits among core WordPress menu items.
1.18.1
Image generation now tries both WordPress AI Client entry points (the procedural helper and the official facade), improving compatibility with sites where only one of them has an image-capable model.
1.17.1
The OpenAI API key entered on the Settings page now takes precedence over an OPENAI_API_KEY constant, so the key you choose is always used.
1.17.0
Now fully self-contained: removed all references to and dependency on other plugins. Image generation uses the WordPress AI Client, an optional endpoint you configure, or a direct OpenAI call.
1.16.0
Added a gentle, dismissible review request shown on the plugin’s screens after a couple of drafts are created.
Added uninstall cleanup: plugin options and cached data are removed when the plugin is deleted.
