<p>OctoPress adds an AI workspace inside WordPress admin. It lets site administrators configure their own AI providers, choose models, chat with agent profiles, and use WordPress-aware tools for content and site workflows.</p>
<p>The free plugin focuses on a safe foundation for AI-assisted WordPress work:</p>
<ul>
<li>First-run onboarding for provider setup and readiness checks.</li>
<li>Admin chat workspace with saved chats and per-chat model/agent selection.</li>
<li>Configurable AI providers, including OpenAI Platform, OpenAI OAuth, OpenAI Responses-compatible providers, and OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible providers.</li>
<li>Agent profiles with configurable prompts, skills, handoff behavior, and a default agent for new chats.</li>
<li>Permission controls for approval-gated tool calls.</li>
<li>Block editor content tools for inspecting blocks, patterns, theme design tokens, and composing draft content.</li>
<li>Extension architecture for additional first-party or third-party capabilities.</li>
</ul>
<p>OctoPress stores its operational data in your WordPress database and runs from your WordPress admin. It does not include an AI model. You connect it to the provider and model you choose.</p>
<h4>Runtime requirements</h4>
<p>OctoPress requires PHP 8.1 or newer and working WordPress HTTP loopback requests to its own REST API. The free WordPress.org build uses WordPress-native request ticks for agent runs and WP-Cron as a recovery watchdog. It does not require PHP CLI access, shell access, <code>exec()</code>, <code>shell_exec()</code>, <code>pcntl_fork()</code>, or <code>posix_setsid()</code>.</p>
<p>Some hosts block loopback HTTP requests or disable WP-Cron. In those environments OctoPress can activate, but chat runs may not continue reliably until loopback requests to the same WordPress site are allowed. Sites with disabled WP-Cron should configure a real server cron for <code>wp-cron.php</code>, as recommended by WordPress hosting documentation.</p>
<h4>External services</h4>
<p>OctoPress can send requests to external AI providers after an administrator configures a provider and uses model sync, chat, or an AI-assisted workflow. Depending on the action, data sent to the configured provider may include prompts, chat messages, selected WordPress content, tool context, model names, provider metadata, and generated responses.</p>
<p>Built-in provider options include OpenAI services:</p>
<ul>
<li>OpenAI terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/</li>
<li>OpenAI privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/</li>
</ul>
<p>OctoPress also supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. If you configure a custom provider, that provider receives the request data for the models you use. Review that provider’s terms, privacy policy, and data handling practices before connecting it.</p>
<p>API keys and OAuth credentials are stored server-side in WordPress and are not returned to browsers by OctoPress REST responses.</p>
<h4>Development source</h4>
<p>OctoPress includes compiled admin JavaScript and CSS in <code>assets/admin/dist</code>. The human-readable admin frontend source is included in <code>assets/admin/src</code>, with build configuration in <code>package.json</code>, <code>package-lock.json</code>, <code>vite.config.ts</code>, and <code>tsconfig.json</code>.</p>
<p>To rebuild the admin assets from source:</p>
<pre><code>npm install
npm run build
composer install
</code></pre>

<p>BU Versions is a WordPress plugin that adds new workflows to WordPress that make it possible to create, review, and schedule changes to published content with ease.</p>
<p>With BU Versions, you can clone any published post in WordPress (page, post, or custom post type) to edit and save an alternate version of the post without replacing the public content. You can make multiple edits over any timeframe, all done “behind the scenes” without disruptive or unreviewed changes to the live content. This enables a publishing workflow for edits to content that need to be reviewed and approved before being re-published. Once ready, publishing your version will replace the original post.</p>
<p>The plugin was written by <a href="http://www.bu.edu/tech" rel="nofollow ugc">Boston University IS&T</a> staff with design and UX support from the <a href="http://www.bu.edu/id" rel="nofollow ugc">Interactive Design</a> group in Marketing & Communications.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>An alternate version can be created for each post or page.</li>
