Creating Your First AI Post

Your first post should be a test draft, not a full automation rollout. Use it to confirm your model, tone, formatting, and image settings.

Method 1: From the Dashboard (Quickest)

The fastest way to get a draft going is directly from the main WP-AutoInsight Dashboard.

1. Navigate to WP-AutoInsight in your sidebar.
2. In the “Quick Actions” box, click “Generate Post Now”.
3. The plugin will use your current keyword group and generate the post as a background job.
4. Watch the “Recent Activity” section on the Dashboard to see when it’s finished.

Method 2: From the Posts List

You can also trigger a generation from your main WordPress “Posts” screen.

1. Navigate to Posts > All Posts.
2. Next to the “Add New” button at the top, you’ll see a button: “Create AI Post”.
3. Click it, and the plugin will start a background generation job.

What Happens During Generation?

When you trigger a post, the plugin performs several tasks in the background:

• Writing: The AI writes the full content based on your selected Tone and Model.
• Formatting: The content is automatically converted into native Gutenberg Blocks (Headings, Paragraphs, Lists).
• SEO: It generates a Meta Description and Focus Keywords for your SEO plugin (Yoast or RankMath).
• Images: It generates a relevant Featured Image for the post.

Tip

Reviewing Drafts: By default, all AI posts are saved as Drafts. This allows you to read through, fact-check, and make any final tweaks before clicking the official WordPress “Publish” button.

What to review before publishing

• Title: Make sure it matches the intent of the post.
• Facts: Especially important if you used Perplexity or asked for current information.
• SEO fields: Check the generated description and focus terms in Yoast or RankMath.
• Featured image: Confirm that the image fits the article.
• Tone: Make sure the output still sounds like your site.
