How to automatically publish your OpenAI/ChatGPT generated posts on WordPress

Long story short: a few days ago I was looking for some ideas on services involving AI and noticed a weird trend — many freelancing jobs and SASS involving ChatGPT and OpenAI are based on manual work. I create the prompts, it returns the text/images, and then it's copied/pasted into a CMS or a self-created system.

So, if I wanted to post something on my WordPress blog, I would need to follow a relatively long list of manual steps to do this OR pay a considerable fee to a site so they automate the work. Searching for OpenAI integrations with WordPress, most are iframes or too complicated for the common user. What if I just wanted to see my post being created inside my site, just with a click of a button or maybe even periodically?

And then a few days later a new plugin was born: the OpenAI API Blog Post Creator was created with just one idea in mind: be simple, integrated with WordPress (no outside services), and, most important, free! You just need to download the zip, install it on your WP site, and run the instructions in the README file to get the API Key.

Some of the features of the 0.5 version (codename Gorenger):

  • Seamless integration with the OpenAI API.
  • Automatically generates blog posts based on specified keywords.
  • Customizable character limit for generated posts.
  • Ability to generate images related to the content.
  • Supports Gutenberg blocks for easy content formatting.
  • Option for daily automatic post creation.
  • AJAX-powered manual post creation.
  • Translatable strings for internationalization.

You can download the plugin on GitHub: https://github.com/phalkmin/openai-blog

At the moment, it’s available only on GitHub, as I’m waiting for the review by the WordPress team.

Remember that it's in early stages of development, so any comments are appreciated. If you need any help putting the plugin to work or with your WordPress project, just let me know!
