<p>Edward is the official WordPress connector for <strong>MeetEdward</strong>, an AI-powered SEO content automation service. Once installed, your WordPress site can receive articles published by Edward and have them appear as native posts — with proper SEO metadata, featured images, tags, and scheduling.</p>
<p>The plugin exposes a small, authenticated REST API at <code>/wp-json/edward/v1/*</code> that the MeetEdward service uses to publish articles. All endpoints require a randomly-generated API key that you copy into your MeetEdward dashboard once during setup. No data leaves your WordPress site without a request from MeetEdward, authenticated with your key.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Publishes articles as standard WordPress posts.</li>
<li>Sets SEO title, focus keyword, meta description, canonical URL, noindex flag, Open Graph + Twitter Card tags for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO — whichever you have installed.</li>
<li>Attaches featured images from external URLs with explicit alt text and caption support.</li>
<li>Supports tags, categories, and scheduled publishing (via WordPress’s built-in scheduled-post mechanism).</li>
<li>Idempotency keys prevent duplicate posts on retry.</li>
<li>Slug-conflict detection avoids SEO cannibalization.</li>
<li>Optional IndexNow integration for near-instant Bing/Yandex re-crawl notifications.</li>
<li>Diagnostics endpoint for support troubleshooting (PHP version, WP version, SEO plugin detection, file permissions).</li>
<li>Site discovery endpoints (authors, categories, tags) so the MeetEdward dashboard renders accurate dropdowns.</li>
<li>Survives hosts that disable the <code>fileinfo</code> PHP extension via a four-tier mime detection ladder.</li>
<li>Survives hosts that block the WordPress REST API for anonymous requests via a scoped bypass filter (Edward’s own routes still require the API key).</li>
<li>SSRF guard on external image URLs (blocks loopback, private IP ranges, link-local, ULA).</li>
</ul>
<h4>What this plugin needs from you</h4>
<p>After installation, copy the API key from the <strong>Tools <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Edward</strong> page in WordPress admin and paste it into your MeetEdward dashboard. That’s the only setup step.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin is the WordPress-side interface to <strong>MeetEdward</strong> (<code>https://meetedward.com</code>), an AI content service. To make the integration work, MeetEdward’s servers will call this plugin’s REST endpoints — every call is authenticated with the API key you generate.</p>
<p><strong>Data sent FROM your WordPress site TO MeetEdward:</strong> none initiated by the plugin. Responses to MeetEdward’s authenticated requests return information you’d expect for a publishing flow — created post IDs/URLs, your list of authors/categories/tags, basic site diagnostics — only when MeetEdward asks for them with a valid key.</p>
<p><strong>Data sent FROM MeetEdward TO your WordPress site:</strong> article title, body, SEO metadata, featured image URL, tags, category, schedule. These become standard WordPress posts.</p>
<p><strong>IndexNow:</strong> if you enable IndexNow via the MeetEdward dashboard, the plugin generates a key file inside your uploads directory (e.g. <code>https://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/edward-seo/abc123…txt</code>). MeetEdward then notifies <code>api.indexnow.org</code> of new article URLs with that URL passed as the <code>keyLocation</code> parameter, so Bing/Yandex/Naver/Seznam can re-crawl them. No data leaves your site directly from this plugin for IndexNow.</p>

Edward – AI SEO Autopilot & Content Writer

AI autopilot for WordPress — write articles with AI, auto-publish on a schedule, and sync focus keyword & meta to Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or AIOSEO.

<p>Content Forge is a free WordPress plugin that works two ways — with AI or without. The built-in traditional generator instantly creates dummy posts, pages, users, comments, and taxonomies for development, testing, and demos, no API key required. Or connect an AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) to generate real, contextually relevant posts on demand — and let Autopilot schedule those AI posts to run automatically on the cadence you choose. Use either mode standalone, or mix both in the same workflow.</p>
<h4>Autopilot: schedule AI-generated WordPress posts</h4>
<p>Autopilot is a free, built-in scheduler that turns Content Forge into a hands-off AI publishing assistant. Define a recurring rule once and it generates posts in the background — daily, weekly, monthly, or any custom interval. Pick your topic strategy (cycling list, random list, one-shot queue, or AI-suggested from a theme), your tone and length, and what should happen to the result: save as draft, mark as pending review, schedule to publish later, or publish immediately. Safety rails are on by default — daily post caps, auto-pause on failure, duplicate guard, and default-to-draft mode — so nothing goes live without your explicit opt-in.</p>

Content Forge – AI & non-AI content generator, scheduled AI posts, dummy data for your site


This is a very helpful plugin. I had to test a new site without any blog posts for a new layout that is changed when there are 20 or more posts, this helped me do that quickly. Then I was able to delete the fake posts in the plugin fast and clean. Thanks!


This is very handy
