Περιγραφή
Tired of searching stock photo sites for every blog post? AI Featured Image Generator lets you create a fitting featured image with one click — directly from the post editor.
Key features:
- One-click generation from the Block Editor sidebar
- Bring Your Own API Key — supports OpenAI (DALL-E 3) and Ideogram
- Choose from clean style presets (Realistic, Illustration, Minimal)
- Custom prompt option — see and edit before generating
- Generated images are stored in your Media Library and automatically set as Featured Image
- Regenerate variations with a single click
- Lightweight — no tracking, no telemetry, no admin notice spam
Why “Bring Your Own Key”?
Image generation costs money. Instead of charging you a markup, you connect your own API key and pay providers directly at cost. Typically a few cents per image.
Supported providers:
- OpenAI DALL-E 3 (openai.com) — recommended, sign up at platform.openai.com
- Ideogram (ideogram.ai) — alternative provider
What this plugin is NOT:
- Not a 50-feature AI suite
- Not a stock photo replacement (you control the prompts)
- Not phoning home — your data stays between you and your chosen AI provider
Source Code
The Block Editor sidebar is compiled JavaScript built with @wordpress/scripts. The unminified source is included in the plugin package under src/sidebar.js.
To rebuild from source:
- Install Node.js (v18 or higher) and npm.
- In the plugin directory, run:
npm install - Build the production bundle:
npm run build
The compiled output is written to assets/js/sidebar.js and assets/js/sidebar.asset.php.
External Services
This plugin connects to external AI services to generate images. These connections are made exclusively when a user manually triggers image generation or tests their API key — never automatically.
OpenAI (DALL-E 3)
When OpenAI is selected, the plugin sends your post title and optional custom prompt to the OpenAI API in order to generate an image.
- Service URL: https://api.openai.com/

Ideogram
When Ideogram is selected, the plugin sends your post title and optional custom prompt to the Ideogram API in order to generate an image.
- Service URL: https://api.ideogram.ai/
- Terms of Use: https://ideogram.ai/about/terms-of-service

No data is sent to the plugin author or any third parties. Generated images are stored in your own WordPress Media Library.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
-
Where do I get an API key?
-
The plugin supports two providers:
- OpenAI (DALL-E 3): Sign up at platform.openai.com and create an API key under API keys.
- Ideogram: Sign up at ideogram.ai and create an API key in your account settings.
-
Is my data sent anywhere?
-
Only to the AI provider you chose (OpenAI or Ideogram). The plugin sends your post title and optional prompt to generate the image. No data is sent to plugin developers, no telemetry, no tracking.
-
How much does it cost?
-
The plugin is free. The AI provider charges per generation — typically a few cents per image. You pay them directly with your own API key.
-
What happens if generation fails?
-
You’ll see a clear error message in the editor with the reason (invalid key, content policy violation, rate limit, etc.). No image is created until generation succeeds.
-
Can I edit the generated image?
-
Yes. Once generated, the image lives in your Media Library like any other upload. You can crop, edit, or replace it as usual.
-
Does it work with the Classic Editor?
-
V1 supports the Block Editor (Gutenberg). Classic Editor support is planned for V1.1.
