FAQ
-
Is AI Story Maker free?
-
Yes. The AI Story Enhancer is completely free with no usage limits. Story generation requires either a subscription plan or your own OpenAI API key.
-
Do I need an OpenAI account?
-
Not necessarily. You can use a subscription plan (credits are included) without setting up OpenAI yourself. If you prefer to use your own API key, you can enter it in the plugin settings.
-
What is a prompt template?
-
A reusable set of instructions that tells the AI what kind of story to write — topic, tone, length, target audience, categories, and image placeholders. You create it once and reuse it for every generation.
-
Can I schedule stories to publish automatically?
-
Yes — daily, weekly, or custom intervals. Stories are saved as drafts by default so you can review before they go live, or you can enable auto-publish.
-
How does Facebook posting work?
-
Connect your Facebook Page in the Social Media Integration settings. When a story is generated, the plugin automatically posts the title, excerpt, link, and hashtags to your page.
-
What if generation fails?
-
Check the plugin logs (AI Story Maker Logs), verify your API key or subscription status, and confirm your server can reach external APIs. Most issues include a specific error message in the logs.
-
Can I use my own OpenAI API key instead of a subscription?
-
Yes. Enter your key under API Keys in the plugin settings. The subscription credits take priority when available; your key acts as the fallback.
-
Does it work with WordPress 7.0 AI agents?
-
Yes. Three Abilities are registered automatically when the plugin is active, making it orchestratable by any WP 7.0 AI workflow — no extra setup needed.
-
Will using Abilities deduct my credits?
-
Yes, the same as every other generation method. Ability-invoked generation goes through the same gateway as the manual button, wizard, and scheduler.
-
Is my data safe?
-
Story prompts are sent to OpenAI for generation. No personal user data is stored beyond your domain and admin email, which are used only for subscription validation. See the External Services section for full details.
-
Can I generate content in languages other than English?
-
Yes — specify the target language directly in your prompt template.
-
How do I back up my prompt templates?
-
Prompts are stored in the
wp_optionsdatabase table. A standard WordPress database backup covers them.
