SocraNext

Description

What the plugin provides
Custom Post Type socranext_post for AI-optimized articles (default URL slug artikelen-sn, configurable via the SocraNext platform).
Custom Taxonomy socranext (hierarchical) for categorizing those articles.
Knowledge Base page (WordPress page; default slug kennisbank-sn, configurable via the SocraNext platform).
Template-based rendering for single/archive and knowledge base views (plugin templates via template_include).
Admin screens under SocraNext (Overview, Articles, Knowledge Base, Pages) including per-page FAQ toggles.
Cache flush on (de)activation to correctly register permalinks.

Display
The plugin renders views via bundled templates for:
– Single SocraNext articles and archive list.
– Knowledge base page with categories and Q&As.

Structured Data
– The FAQ display includes FAQPage JSON-LD to help search engines and AI systems better understand the Q&As.

REST API (for platform integration)
Under the namespace socranext/v1, routes include:
GET /pages and GET /pages/{id} – list site pages (for adding/showing FAQ widgets).
POST /toggle – enable/disable the FAQ widget per page.
POST /store-aio-information and GET /aio-information/{page_id} – store/retrieve per-page FAQ data.
POST /kennisbank and POST /kennisbank-custom – store knowledge base categories and custom markup/styles.
POST /blog and POST /store-blog-custom – create articles and store global custom HTML/CSS/JS for article display.
POST /collection-slugs – sync configurable articles/knowledge-base URL slugs from the SocraNext platform (rewrite flush + cache purge).
GET /articles-list-custom – retrieve configuration for list views.

Note: without an account/connection to app.socranext.ai, the auto-generation routes are typically not used, but the created post types, taxonomy, and pages remain available for display.

Privacy & external services
– The plugin does not call external APIs on its own; the integration is typically initiated by the SocraNext platform to your website.
– Websites: product site https://socranext.ai and platform https://app.socranext.ai.

Reviews

February 23, 2026
SocraNext is one of the most impressive WordPress plugins I have used in a long time. With just one click, it prepares your entire website to be discoverable in AI tools. The setup is straightforward, the interface is intuitive, and you do not need any technical background to get started. What really stands out is how easy it is to fully customize the output. You can style all generated content so it perfectly matches the look and feel of your website. This makes the integration seamless and professional. If you care about AI visibility and want a solution that is both powerful and simple to use, SocraNext is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Changelog

1.1.2

  • /collection-slugs now rejects slugs that collide with existing pages, posts, products or SocraNext articles (HTTP 409 slug_conflict) instead of silently letting WordPress append -2 and desyncing the URL from the saved option.
  • Knowledge base page rename now uses the same lookup chain as the articles page (stored option old_knowledgebase_slug default kennisbank-sn), so renames keep working when the option was lost.
  • Articles archive page ID is now persisted in a new socranext_articles_page_id option (set on activation and on rename) for deterministic future lookups.

1.1.1

  • /post-types endpoint now also returns availability flags for native content types (blogs, products, categories) so the SocraNext platform can hide filter pills for content that does not exist on the site.
  • Availability checks: blogs use wp_count_posts('post'), products require the product post type plus at least one published item (WooCommerce), categories use get_terms with hide_empty.
  • Response shape changed from a bare array of CPTs to { postTypes, availability }; the SocraNext server stays backwards-compatible with older plugin versions.

1.1.0

  • Configurable URL slugs for the articles collection page and knowledge base page (defaults: artikelen-sn, kennisbank-sn), synced from the SocraNext platform via POST /collection-slugs.
  • Article permalinks, rewrite rules, archive detection, and page paths now use the configured slugs instead of hardcoded values.
  • Existing sites without custom slugs keep the same URLs; no change until slugs are updated in Website Instellingen.

1.0.4

  • Added cache-purge integrations for Cloudways Breeze, WP-Optimize, NitroPack and Borlabs Cache so FAQ updates become visible to anonymous visitors immediately on these hosts/plugins.
  • Added a generic Varnish/HTTP PURGE fallback that targets the page URL after every FAQ update (covers Cloudways without Breeze and other Varnish-based stacks).

1.0.3

  • Restyled the SocraNext admin experience and FAQ toggles.
  • Added pagination and slug/URL search support to the SocraNext REST API pages endpoint.
  • Added multilingual support (WPML and Polylang) for all content listing endpoints.

1.0.2

  • Fixed authentication handling for plugin REST/API integration in certain environments.
  • Improved JSON handling and internal cleanup for more robust data processing.

1.0.1

  • New hierarchical URL structure for SocraNext articles (/{articles-slug}/parent/child/, default artikelen-sn) and improved permalink handling.
  • New default styling per content type (FAQ, knowledge base, articles) with dedicated CSS and JS assets.
  • Centralized handling of custom HTML/CSS/JS for the FAQ sections, including improved cache invalidation.
  • Expanded and refined REST API endpoints for pages, posts, products, categories and custom post types used by the SocraNext platform.
  • Security and robustness improvements (escaping, sanitization, nonces, token handling) to better align with WordPress standards.

0.5.9

  • Improved token handling for the REST API (more robust header parsing, support for Bearer tokens, timing-safe comparison).
  • Added configurable disclaimer text for pages, products and product categories and only render it when explicitly set.
  • Added FAQPage JSON-LD output for the knowledge base template.
  • Fixed edge cases in blog/overview rendering so custom code is only injected once.

  • Added JWT connection
  • Code improvements and compatibility fixes
