== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is Antimanual? =
Antimanual is an all-in-one AI WordPress plugin that automates the most time-consuming parts of running a website. It includes a trainable AI chatbot, automated content publishing, bulk content rewriting, FAQ generator, documentation builder, repurpose studio, forum automation, AI-powered search, AI translation (Pro), SEO auditing tools (Pro Max), and an internal linking suite (Pro Max) — all managed from a single, fast admin dashboard.

= Do I need an API key to use Antimanual? =
No setup is required to get started. Antimanual includes free monthly credits powered by Antimanual Cloud AI. You can also connect your own API key from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenCode Zen for direct provider billing with zero markup.

= Which AI models does Antimanual support? =
Antimanual currently supports seven AI providers and these built-in models: Antimanual Cloud AI — multi-model cloud routing with monthly free credits; OpenAI — GPT 5.4, GPT 5, GPT 5 Mini, GPT 4.1 Mini; Google Gemini — Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Preview, Gemini 3 Pro Preview, Gemini 3 Flash Preview, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite Preview; Anthropic Claude — Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5; xAI Grok — Grok 4, Grok 3, Grok 3 Mini; DeepSeek — DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash; OpenCode Zen — Big Pickle, MiMo V2.5 Free, MiniMax M2.5 Free, Qwen 3.6 Plus, Qwen 3.5 Plus, Kimi K2.6, Kimi K2.5, GLM 5.1, and MiniMax M2.7. The plugin validates your API key and only shows supported models available for your account.

= Can I train the chatbot on my own website content? =
Yes. The free version lets you add any WordPress post or page to the knowledge base with one click. The chatbot then uses AI vector embeddings of that content to give accurate, context-specific answers — not generic AI responses. Antimanual Pro extends the knowledge base to support PDFs, external website URLs, custom text, and GitHub repositories.

= Is auto-posting fully automated? =
Yes. Once you set up a schedule — choosing topics, tone, language, article length, and publishing time — Antimanual generates complete Gutenberg posts and publishes them automatically. The free plan supports up to 2 active schedules; Pro removes the cap entirely.

= What are the usage limits on the free version? =
The free plan includes: 60 AI chatbot conversations per month, 2 auto-posting schedules, 100 bulk rewrites per month, 100 forum AI answers per month, 100 forum topic conversions per month, and 100 lifetime AI search queries. Features with no usage limits on the free plan include: Generate Post with AI, Repurpose Studio, FAQ Generator, Docs Generator and Auto Update. Upgrading to Pro removes all usage caps.

= What exactly is in the Pro Max plan? =
Pro Max includes everything in the free and Pro plans, plus an expanded SEO toolkit. The SEO Agent runs AI-powered audits on any internal or external page, covers On-Page SEO, Technical SEO, Performance, Accessibility, Security, and Mobile Friendliness, and can auto-fix many common issues with a single click. It also includes advanced SEO workflows like Broken Link Checker, Content Brief Generator, Content Freshness scoring, Schema Generator, Cannibalization Detector, and Google & Search Integrations (Core Web Vitals, Search Console, GA4, Indexing API, and IndexNow). The Internal Linking module provides a full link audit, AI link suggestions, bulk auto-linking, a visual site map, topic cluster builder, and anchor manager.

= How does Internal Linking work? =
The Internal Linking module (Pro Max) analyses all posts and pages on your site to build a complete link report — showing total posts, orphan pages, inbound/outbound link counts, average links per post, and a Link Health Score. You can then generate AI-powered internal link suggestions for any post, apply links in bulk, visualise your entire site's link structure, and manage all anchor texts from one place.

= What languages does AI Translation support? =
Antimanual Pro includes AI translation for 34 languages. You can run bulk translations across all your posts, enable auto-translate on publish, add a custom glossary to protect brand terms, control tone and formality, and display a frontend language switcher. RTL languages are fully supported.

= Are my translations visible to Google? =
Yes. Each translated post is served on its own URL under a language prefix — for example `/es/my-post/` for Spanish — and the language switcher links to those URLs so search engines can find them. Every language version outputs the full `hreflang` set (including `x-default`) plus a self-referencing canonical, and Antimanual publishes an hreflang XML sitemap at `/atml-hreflang-sitemap.xml` that is listed in your robots.txt. Pages that are not translated, such as archives, are marked `noindex` under a language prefix so they never compete with your real content.

= Can I embed the chatbot on another website or domain? =
Yes. Cross-domain chatbot embedding via a simple iframe embed code is included with Antimanual Pro. This lets you deploy the same trained chatbot on multiple domains, documentation sites, or client properties — without any additional configuration.

= Does Antimanual integrate with community forum plugins? =
Yes. Antimanual integrates with [Forumax](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-core) for AI-powered automatic responses to forum topics and replies. It also lets you convert closed forum threads into WordPress posts or knowledge base articles with a single click.

= Is my API key stored securely? =
Yes. All API keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC encryption tied to your WordPress secret keys. Keys are never sent to the browser unmasked — the admin UI shows only a masked preview with a connection status indicator.

= Can I use Antimanual with Google Gemini instead of OpenAI? =
Yes. You can use Google Gemini instead of OpenAI, and you can also switch to Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenCode Zen from the API Configuration page. Antimanual validates the selected provider and model, then automatically disables unsupported options so your setup stays valid.

= Does Antimanual add any SEO markup automatically? =
The FAQ Generator adds structured FAQ Schema markup (JSON-LD) to FAQ blocks for Google rich results. The SEO Agent (Pro Max) can auto-add missing meta descriptions, fix image alt text, add Open Graph tags, and enforce proper canonical URLs — all editable before saving.

= What is the AI Content Copilot? =
The AI Content Copilot adds a "Magic Wand" toolbar button to the WordPress block editor. Select any text in a paragraph, heading, or list block, choose a transformation — improve writing, fix grammar, shorten, lengthen, simplify, change tone, translate, or apply a custom instruction — and the AI rewrites it instantly without leaving the editor.

= What is the MCP Server and who is it for? =
The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server turns your WordPress site into a structured tool provider for AI applications like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and ChatGPT. Once enabled and configured with a bearer token from the Integrations settings page, external AI agents can search your knowledge base, read posts, create drafts, and fetch site information — within your chosen access level and enabled tool set. It is designed for developers and power users who want to drive their WordPress site from an AI assistant.

= Can I monitor how much AI my site is consuming and at what cost? =
Yes. The AI Usage & Cost Analytics dashboard shows total requests, tokens consumed, and estimated cost for any selected date range. You can break down usage by feature, AI provider, model, or individual user, view a daily trend chart, and export the full history to CSV. You can also set monthly token limits for specific user roles — such as Editors or Authors — to prevent unexpected cost overruns.

== External Services ==

This plugin connects to the following external services.

= OpenAI API =

Powers AI chatbot, knowledge base embeddings, and all content generation features when OpenAI is the selected provider. Your WordPress post content (for KB indexing), visitor chat messages, and admin-configured prompts are sent to OpenAI via your own API key. Data is transmitted only when you trigger an AI action or a visitor interacts with the chatbot/search.

* [OpenAI](https://openai.com) — [Terms](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) — [Privacy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy)

One of Antimanual's supported AI providers. The same categories of data described for OpenAI above are sent to Google Gemini via your own API key, only when Gemini is the active provider.

* [Google AI (Gemini)](https://ai.google.dev) — [Terms](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms) — [Privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

= Additional AI Providers =

Depending on the provider you configure, Antimanual may also send your WordPress post content (for knowledge base indexing where supported), visitor chat messages, and admin-configured prompts to Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenCode Zen only when you trigger an AI action or a visitor interacts with the chatbot or AI search.

* [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com)
* [xAI](https://x.ai)
* [DeepSeek](https://platform.deepseek.com)
* [OpenCode Zen](https://opencode.ai/zen)

= Spider Themes Notice Service =

The plugin periodically fetches an admin notice from Spider Themes servers to display important announcements to site administrators. Only a standard HTTP GET request is made — no personal data, site content, or visitor information is ever transmitted.
