Simple AI content creation
ArticleDrop keeps AI content creation focused and easy to use:
- Save a Content Profile with your name or organization, website, description, target audience, and content voice.
- Generate three content ideas based on your Content Profile.
- Generate an article with a title, headings, and formatted content from your topic or a suggested idea.
- Preview the generated article and choose Save as WordPress Draft.
- Open the draft in WordPress to edit, schedule, or publish it.
A Content Profile is optional for your own topic and required for generated article ideas.
Your AI provider, configured through WordPress
ArticleDrop requires WordPress 7.0 or later and uses the WordPress AI Client with a compatible provider configured through WordPress Settings > Connectors. ArticleDrop > Settings provides AI Setup & Status guidance and generation readiness.
Content ideas, article generation, and draft saving are included in the Free plugin. No Pro purchase is required. ArticleDrop does not provide AI credits or an AI subscription. Your configured provider controls AI usage and charges and may require API credentials or credits. A consumer chatbot subscription does not necessarily include API access or credits.
Review generated content for accuracy, suitability, and rights before publication. ArticleDrop generates articles when you request them and saves drafts only when you choose. It does not run unattended article generation or an independent publishing scheduler. To schedule or publish an article, save a draft and use WordPress’s publishing controls.
External services
ArticleDrop uses the WordPress Core AI Client. It does not call provider endpoints directly or collect, store, or manage provider credentials. Install and activate a compatible AI provider plugin and configure it through WordPress Settings > Connectors. WordPress Core does not bundle provider implementations.
When an authorized administrator chooses Generate Article or Generate Topic Ideas or Generate 3 New Topics, ArticleDrop sends the article topic or idea request, its instructions, and populated Content Profile fields through the AI Client to a compatible configured provider. These fields are name or organization, website, description, target audience, and content voice. The website field is contextual text only; ArticleDrop does not fetch it. The connector/provider handles authentication and transport. The provider may receive server request metadata, such as your server’s IP address.
ArticleDrop does not run paid test prompts on activation, page views, or profile saves. Readiness checks match the complete request configuration against available capabilities; they do not verify credentials, connectivity, or provider credits. No automatic fallback or second paid request is made by ArticleDrop.
Provider usage charges may apply. Use only information you are authorized to share. Processing, retention, training, and privacy behavior depend on the configured provider, connector, account, and applicable terms. ArticleDrop does not guarantee zero retention or a provider-specific storage policy. Review the service terms and privacy information supplied by the provider/connector in WordPress Settings > Connectors before generating.

Installation
- Install and activate ArticleDrop from the WordPress Plugins screen, or upload the articledrop directory to wp-content/plugins/.
- On WordPress 7.0 or later, open ArticleDrop > Settings. Choose Set Up AI Provider to open WordPress Settings > Connectors. Install and activate a compatible AI provider plugin if needed, then configure its credentials there.
- Return to ArticleDrop > Settings to check article and idea generation readiness. The configured provider/model must support structured JSON/schema text generation. A ready status does not verify credentials, connectivity, or available credits.
- Add your business, audience, and content voice in ArticleDrop > Content Profile. This is optional for your own topics and required for generated article ideas.
- Open ArticleDrop > Create Content. Enter a topic and choose Generate Article, or choose Generate Topic Ideas and then Generate Article beside a suggestion. Choose Generate 3 New Topics for another set of ideas.
- Review the article and choose Save as WordPress Draft. Choose Edit Draft to open it in WordPress, where you can edit, schedule, or publish it.
The plugin screens and generation actions require permission to manage site settings. Saving a draft also requires WordPress permission to create posts.
FAQ
-
Can I use ArticleDrop as an AI blog post generator?
-
Yes. Enter your own topic or generate three ideas from your Content Profile. ArticleDrop generates an article with a title and formatted content for review. Save it as a WordPress draft to edit, schedule, or publish using WordPress.
-
Do I need a Content Profile?
-
A Content Profile is optional when you enter your own topic. Add profile information to give ArticleDrop business, audience, and voice context. A nonempty profile is required to generate topic ideas.
-
Can I schedule articles or publish them automatically?
-
After saving a generated article as a WordPress draft, you can edit it and use WordPress’s native publishing controls to schedule or publish it. ArticleDrop does not automatically publish articles, run an independent scheduler, or generate articles unattended.
-
Is ArticleDrop free to use?
-
Yes. Content ideas, article generation, and WordPress draft saving are included in Free, with no Pro purchase required. ArticleDrop does not provide AI credits or an AI subscription. Your chosen AI provider controls API usage and charges.
-
Where are my settings and API credentials managed?
-
ArticleDrop stores its Content Profile in your site’s WordPress database. Configure your AI provider and API credentials in WordPress Settings > Connectors. ArticleDrop does not provide its own API-key fields or manage provider credentials.
-
Does the plugin send my data automatically?
-
Content generation occurs only when an authorized administrator requests it. Saving a draft writes the reviewed article to WordPress without another AI generation. The website field is never fetched.
-
What happens when I deactivate or delete the plugin?
-
Deactivation preserves your Content Profile. Uninstall removes ArticleDrop-owned options across multisite. Shared WordPress Connectors credentials/settings and generated WordPress posts/drafts are preserved.
-
Why can generation fail when the status says ready?
-
Readiness reports compatible capabilities, not successful authentication, connectivity, or available credits. Provider availability, policy, quota, and model access can change. Review WordPress Settings > Connectors and your provider account. Unsupported structured requests return a helpful error without a fallback paid request.
