AI Post Visualizer

AI Post Visualizer is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to generate and manage AI-powered images for your posts. The plugin integrates with the DALL·E API to generate custom images based on keywords you provide. Easily manage your post’s featured images, filter your posts, and set viewer modes (light/dark) for the admin interface.

Features

• Generate Images with DALL·E : Generate AI-powered images with DALL·E for your WordPress posts.
• Featured Image Management : Set generated images as featured images for any WordPress post with one click.
• History Management : Keep track of generated images for each post and restore the original featured image if needed.
• Viewer Mode : Toggle between light and dark modes for the admin panel interface.
• Customizable Post Filtering : Easily filter posts by post type, alphabetical order, and date.
• Data Retention Settings : Control whether to retain or remove plugin data when uninstalling.
• Role-Based Access Controls : Plugin UI requires post editing permissions; settings changes are restricted to administrators.

Usage

Note: Access to the plugin UI requires the edit_posts capability (typically Editor and above). Actions that modify a specific post require permission to edit that post, and image generation/upload requires media upload permissions.
