Automated, multi-language blog content: trending topics, AI-written SEO articles, AI cover images, and daily publishing, handled for you.

== Description ==

Nora AI Publisher keeps your WordPress blog active without the daily work of finding topics, writing articles, and sourcing images.

Once activated, Nora AI Publisher:

* Finds trending topics relevant to your site's niche(s)
* Writes a complete, SEO-structured article using AI
* Generates a relevant cover image
* Publishes the finished post to your site automatically, on a schedule
* Optionally translates and publishes the same article in additional languages

You choose your niches, keywords, tone, and whether images are included from a simple settings screen. A "Generate Now" button is also available if you want a post created immediately instead of waiting for the next scheduled run.

= What Nora AI Publisher does NOT do =

* It does not access, read, or modify any existing content on your site beyond creating new posts.
* It does not require your WordPress login password. It creates its own dedicated, revocable Application Password on activation, and removes it again if you deactivate the plugin.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the Nora AI Publisher API (hosted at blog-api-v2-ashen.vercel.app), a service operated by Nora Coaching, to provide its core functionality. This is required for the plugin to work. There is no local/offline mode.

What is sent to this service:

* Your site's URL, an admin username, and a WordPress Application Password created by the plugin (used so the service can publish posts to your site on your behalf).
* Your chosen niches, tone, and custom keywords (used to generate relevant article topics).
* Your site name and admin email (used to register your account and personalize topic suggestions).

What the service sends back:

* Generated article titles, body content, and cover images, which the plugin then publishes to your site via the standard WordPress REST API.

By activating this plugin, you agree to this data being sent to and processed by the Nora AI Publisher API in order to provide the plugin's functionality.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/nora-ai-publisher` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" screen in WordPress. This automatically creates a dedicated Application Password and registers your site with the Nora AI Publisher API, no manual configuration is required to get started.
3. Go to the "Nora AI Publisher" menu in your WordPress admin sidebar to choose your niches, tone, and keywords.
4. That's it. Nora AI Publisher will publish on its own schedule. Use "Generate Now" any time you want an immediate post.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this cost anything? =

The plugin is free to install. The current version runs on the free tier only (2 posts per month, 1 language, no auto-publish scheduling beyond the default). Paid tiers with more posts, more languages, and auto-publish scheduling are planned for a future release.

= What happens to the Application Password if I deactivate the plugin? =

It is automatically revoked. Nora AI Publisher never has standing access to your site beyond an active plugin installation.

= Can I use this on a multisite network? =

Not currently supported in this version.

= Where is my content generated? =

Articles are generated server-side by the Nora AI Publisher API, then published to your site through WordPress's own REST API using your site's dedicated Application Password.
