Recipes

Ready-made setups for common tasks. Each recipe lists only the settings you change; everything else can stay at its default value. Adjust prompts, models and numbers to your project.

Unique news posts rewritten by AI

Goal: a news site that publishes full, rewritten articles with an illustration and SEO meta instead of copied excerpts.

Accounts: add the API key of your AI provider, for example Anthropic or OpenRouter.
Advanced tab: set Extract full-text articles to Use Full-Text RSS script, or to Use custom settings with the tag that wraps the article on the source site.

Post templates tab, set Template processing order to content, title, excerpt and use:

Post content

[ai_generate engine="anthropic-claude-sonnet-4-6" max_tokens="4000" prompt="Rewrite the following news article as an original piece for our readers. Keep all facts, names and numbers. Use h2 subheadings and short paragraphs. Return clean HTML without the title: %post_content%"]

Post title

[ai_generate engine="openai-gpt-4o-mini" prompt="Write a catchy news headline (max 70 characters, no quotes) for this article: %post_content_notags[300]%"]

Meta description

%gpt_prompt[Summarize this article in one sentence of up to 150 characters, no quotes: %post_content_notags[300]%]%

Media enrichment tab: choose a Generator, set Image position to Above content and use %gpt_image_prompt% as the prompt.
Media handling tab: tick Store images locally, set Convert PNG images to WebP and Post thumbnails to Create from first post image.

Cut AI costs

Use %post_content_notags% instead of %post_content% in prompts that do not need the HTML, and the shortened %post_content_notags[300]% for titles and descriptions. Fewer input tokens, same result.

Long articles from headlines

Goal: use a feed only as a source of topics and let AI write a complete multi-section article for each one.

Post content template:

[gpt_article topic="%post_title%" engine="openai-gpt-4o" sections="5" heading="h2" directives="Format the text for a WordPress post using only p, ul, li and em tags. Write for beginners."]

[gpt_article] first asks the model for a list of section titles, then writes each section with the previous text as context. Add structure="Section 1: Introduction; Section 5: FAQ" to fix parts of the outline. See [gpt_article] for all parameters. If your AI provider limits requests per minute, set a Delay: it is applied between sections too.

Product XML feed to WooCommerce

Goal: create WooCommerce products from a supplier’s XML file like this one:

<product>
    <name>Trail Runner X2</name>
    <price currency="USD">129.95</price>
    <picture>https://shop.example.com/x2.png</picture>
    <specs>Weight 280 g, drop 6 mm, waterproof upper</specs>
</product>

Basic tab: Post type product, tick Categories to WooCommerce and Tags to WooCommerce if the feed has categories or tags.

Post templates tab:

Post title: %xml_tags[name]%

Post content:

<img src="%xml_tags[picture]%" alt="%xml_tags[name]%">
[ai_generate prompt="Write a persuasive 150-word product description for %xml_tags[name]%. Specs: %xml_tags[specs]%. Return HTML paragraphs only."]

Advanced tab, Custom fields:

price->_price
price->_regular_price
price:currency->price_currency

Media handling tab: tick Store images locally and set Post thumbnails to Create from first post image.
Optional: set a Post lifetime in hours so outdated products are deleted automatically.

Video blog from a YouTube channel

Add the channel page URL, such as https://www.youtube.com/@channel, or its feed URL https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=....
RSS Retriever puts the video link and the video description into the post. WordPress turns the link into an embedded player.
To give the page real text, add an article under the video in the Post content template:
```
%post_content%
[gpt_article topic="%post_title%" sections="3" heading="h2"]
```
Media handling tab: Post thumbnails set to Create from first post image. When a post has no image, RSS Retriever uses the poster frame of an embedded YouTube video.

One feed in several languages

Add the same feed once per language, assign a WPML or Polylang language and a translation target to each copy. The full setup is described on the Multilingual sites page.

Credit the source

Add a link to the original article below every post with the Post content template:

%post_content%
<p>Source: <a href="%link%" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">%link%</a></p>

Or let the post titles link to their sources with the Link to source option.

A fixed prefix and random variations

Prepend text to every title and vary it with Spintax (tick Parse Spintax):

{Breaking|Just in|Today}: %post_title%
