Plugin Settings
Promptless WP adds a Promptless WP menu to wp-admin. Most screens on it need the promptless_manage_settings capability, which administrators have by default (see Departments and Editor Access). Design settings such as colours, fonts and spacing are not in wp-admin: they are in the editor’s Global Settings.
Screens at a glance
Section titled “Screens at a glance”| Screen | What it is for |
|---|---|
| AI Settings | API keys for AI text, AI images and stock photos. |
| Business Identity | Your organisation’s details for search-engine structured data. |
| Connector | Connecting an AI assistant such as Claude Desktop. See Setting Up the Promptless Connector. |
| Modals | Popups you open from buttons or triggers. See Modals. |

AI Settings
Section titled “AI Settings”| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| OpenAI API Key | Turns on AI section generation and document import. Promptless WP uses OpenAI’s GPT-4.1; there is no model choice. Test Connection checks the key, Disconnect removes it. Save with Save Changes. |
| Replicate API Key | Turns on AI image generation in the editor (Replicate’s FLUX models). Save it with Save API Key; Test Connection and Disconnect work as above. |
| Pexels API Key, Pixabay API Key | Turn on stock photo search and import. Add either or both; both providers have free keys. |
| Default provider | Which stock provider is searched first: Pexels or Pixabay. |
| Safe search (filter explicit results) | Filters explicit images out of stock searches. Save both preferences with Save Preferences. |
The OpenAI key is stored encrypted with the site’s WordPress security keys (AUTH_KEY in wp-config.php). If those keys change, for example after moving to a new server, the screen shows API Key Recovery Required: enter the key again.
See AI Features Overview and AI Image Generation.
Business Identity
Section titled “Business Identity”These details are output as schema.org Organization or LocalBusiness structured data for search engines. The Map section can also use the address. Save with Save Business Identity.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Business Type | The schema type, for example Organization or a LocalBusiness type such as Restaurant. Left on — Not set (no schema emitted) —, nothing is output. |
| Business Name | Required: without a name, no business schema is output. |
| Phone, Email | Contact details. |
| Street, City, State / Region, Postal / ZIP Code, Country | The address. Optional, and partial addresses are allowed. Needed only for a business with a physical location. |
| Hours | For each day, Closed or Open: and Close: times. Closed days are left out. |

See SEO Panel & Schema.
Bulk Page Creator
Section titled “Bulk Page Creator”Creates empty WordPress pages with a parent and child structure from a text outline. Anyone who can edit pages can use it.
- In Page Outline, enter one page title per line. A leading dash (
-) makes a child page and two dashes (--) a grandchild. To set a slug, add it after a pipe:About Us | about. - Choose Page Status: Draft, Published or Private.
- Select Preview Structure, check the tree, then Create Pages.
- Optionally create a menu from the same structure: enter a Menu Name, choose Assign to Location, and select Create Menu.
Data Management
Section titled “Data Management”| Option | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Delete all section data when uninstalling plugin | When ticked, deleting the plugin also deletes every page’s sections and Promptless settings. When clear, deleting the plugin leaves them in the database, so reinstalling brings them back. Save with Save Data Protection Settings. | Off |
| Clear All Data | Under Danger Zone. Deletes the sections of every page at once and turns the builder off on them. It asks for confirmation and cannot be undone. | — |
The screen also shows Pages with Sections, Total Sections and Data Size, and your licence plan.
Cache Management
Section titled “Cache Management”Promptless WP saves AI responses for 24 hours so the same request is not paid for twice. The screen shows how many responses are saved and their size. Clear AI Cache deletes them.
Clear it after changing AI settings, or when you want fresh AI output for the same input. It does not affect pages, page speed or any page cache. See Performance.
Settings outside the Promptless WP menu
Section titled “Settings outside the Promptless WP menu”| Where | What |
|---|---|
| Editor toolbar → Global Settings | Colours, typography, buttons, cards, spacing and other site-wide design. See Global Settings. |
| Users → Profile → Promptless WP Settings | Each user’s access level and departments. See Departments and Editor Access. |
| Page editor → Promptless WP box | Whether the builder is on for a page, and its Display Mode. See Working with WordPress Themes. |
Limits and common problems
Section titled “Limits and common problems”- A screen is missing from the menu. Your account does not have the
promptless_manage_settingscapability. Administrators have it; ask one to make the change or do the task. - AI features stopped working after a move. The security keys changed. Enter the OpenAI key again on AI Settings.
- Test Connection fails. Check the key was copied whole and that the account with that provider is active and has credit.
