WordPress 7.0 AI Agent Integration<\/h3>\n\n

AI Story Maker is AI agent-ready for WordPress 7.0. Three named Abilities are registered automatically when the plugin is active, making your content engine orchestratable by any WP 7.0 AI workflow:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • ai-story-maker\/generate-story<\/strong> \u2014 Generate a new story using your configured prompts. Pass an optional prompt_id<\/code> to run a single prompt, or omit it to run all active prompts in one batch.<\/li>\n
  • ai-story-maker\/enhance-content<\/strong> \u2014 Improve or rewrite a block of existing post content using AI. Pass the post ID, the text to improve, and a plain-English instruction.<\/li>\n
  • ai-story-maker\/schedule-stories<\/strong> \u2014 Enable or disable weekly automatic story generation for a user and set which prompt to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Credit usage:<\/strong> Ability-invoked generation uses the same credit pool as every other generation method \u2014 the manual button, the wizard, and the scheduler all go through the same gateway. No separate billing, no extra setup.<\/p>\n\n

    Backwards compatible:<\/strong> On WordPress 6.x the plugin functions normally. The Abilities registration is silently skipped if wp_register_ability()<\/code> does not exist.<\/p>\n\n

    For full developer documentation including input\/output schemas, code examples, and recipes, see docs\/abilities-api.md<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n

            \n

            Can I use the AI Story Maker Abilities to generate posts without installing or activating the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. Abilities are registered locally by the plugin when it loads on your WordPress site. If the plugin is not installed and active, its abilities do not exist in the registry and cannot be invoked. There is no remote service that exposes them independently.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Will using Abilities to generate stories deduct my credits?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes, exactly the same as every other generation method. Ability-invoked generation goes through the same gateway path as the manual button, the activation wizard, and the weekly scheduler. Credits are deducted server-side by the gateway. If your plan has no credits remaining, the ability returns an error and no post is created.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

            2.3.5<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Maintenance release: re-publishes 2.3.4 content under a clean tag to ensure the WP.org plugin directory serves the correct version (the prior tag was modified post-creation, preventing zip generation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              2.3.4<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • NEW: Admin review notice<\/strong> \u2014 after 5 story generations or 7 days of use, administrators see a friendly rating bar. 4\u20135 stars redirect to WordPress.org; 1\u20133 stars reveal a feedback form and email the site admin automatically.<\/li>\n
              • NEW: WP 7.0 Abilities API<\/strong> \u2014 registers generate-story<\/code>, enhance-content<\/code>, and schedule-stories<\/code> abilities so AI agents and WP 7.0 workflows can orchestrate the plugin without custom integration code.<\/li>\n
              • NEW: Enriched site-topic prompt<\/strong> \u2014 the activation wizard enriches the site-topic field with the site title, tagline, and SEO meta for higher-quality first prompts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                2.3.3<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Maintenance release: republished 2.3.2 content under a new tag to ensure the WP.org plugin directory receives the latest code (the prior tag had been packaged from an outdated working copy).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  2.3.2<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • NEW: Frontend dashboard widgets as shortcodes<\/strong> -- the Data Overview, Generation Calendar, and Recent Posts Activity admin widgets can now be embedded on any page via [aistma_data_overview], [aistma_generation_calendar], and [aistma_recent_activity]<\/li>\n
                  • FIX: Shortcode rendering on the frontend<\/strong> -- widget classes are now loaded outside the admin context so the new shortcodes render their HTML instead of producing empty output<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    2.3.1<\/h4>\n\n
                      \n
                    • FIX: Insufficient credits after subscription cancellation<\/strong> -- wizard now re-enrolls in the free tier when the gateway no longer authorizes generation, not only when no API key is stored<\/li>\n
                    • FIX: Gateway is the single source of truth for credits<\/strong> -- removed the local credit ledger so a stale local count cannot block generation when the gateway has valid credits<\/li>\n
                    • FIX: Wizard auto-enrollment<\/strong> -- calls \/wizard-enroll-free and stores the returned gateway API key, then re-checks the subscription before generating<\/li>\n
                    • FIX: API keys masked in settings page<\/strong> -- only last 10% of stored keys is shown<\/li>\n
                    • FIX: Dashboard 'Create Story Now'<\/strong> -- wizard initializes reliably from the dashboard widget; rating modal excluded from dashboard to prevent fadeIn crash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                      2.3.0<\/h4>\n\n
                        \n
                      • NEW: Display User Transactions<\/strong> \u2014 View credit history and transaction details in admin dashboard<\/li>\n
                      • NEW: Multiple Photo Resources<\/strong> \u2014 Support for Pexels and Pixabay in addition to Unsplash<\/li>\n
                      • NEW: Keyword Support in Prompts<\/strong> \u2014 Add keywords to prompts for better SEO optimization<\/li>\n
                      • NEW: Externalized Styles<\/strong> \u2014 Migrated inline CSS\/JS to external files for better performance<\/li>\n
                      • SECURITY: Authenticated Gateway Client Flow<\/strong> \u2014 Server-side authentication for gateway requests, removed browser-exposed auth<\/li>\n
                      • FIX: Subscription Email Updates<\/strong> \u2014 Users can now update their subscription email anytime for account management<\/li>\n
                      • IMPROVED: Subscription Security<\/strong> \u2014 CSRF protection with proper nonce verification<\/li>\n
                      • IMPROVED: Type Consistency<\/strong> \u2014 Fixed null\/int type handling for managed subscriptions<\/li>\n
