My campaign isn’t publishing anything. What should I check?
First, how long it has been. A campaign’s first run happens one full interval after you save it, so a weekly campaign does nothing for seven days. Each run then advances one post by one step (title, then content, then featured image, then publish), so an hourly campaign publishes its first post after a few hours. Use the Run Campaign button on the campaign edit screen to start a run straight away. Then check AI Content Writer > Logs — every failure is recorded there with the provider’s own error message. The usual causes are a missing or invalid API key, a provider quota, the campaign target…
A post is stuck partway through and never publishes.
Open AI Content Writer > Logs and filter to that campaign — the reason is recorded there. The two common cases are an AI provider with no valid API key (the post keeps its place and resumes once you save a key), and “Generate Thumbnail” being enabled while no image API key is saved. A post that needs a featured image waits until it gets one, so either add a valid Pexels, Unsplash, or Pixabay key under Settings > API Settings, or untick Generate Thumbnail on the campaign.
Does WP-Cron need anything special on my host?
The pipeline runs on WP-Cron, which WordPress triggers from incoming page requests. On a new or low-traffic site there may not be enough traffic to fire it on time, so runs drift late. Either hook WP-Cron into a real system cron, or use an uptime monitor that requests your site every few minutes. Managed hosts that do not offer system cron (including WordPress.com) usually provide a monitoring option that serves the same purpose.
Changelog
Fixes the "Run Campaign" button, which did nothing on most campaigns, and stops campaigns from stalling silently when an API key is missing or a featured image cannot be fetched — the reason is now written to the logs. Recommended for everyone.
2.4.9 (5 September 2026)
- Fix: Failed returns from the AI provider are now logged instead of being silently ignored, so you can see why a post is stuck and how to fix it.
- Fix: Few known issues are fixed.
2.4.8 (26 August 2026)
- Fix: Fixed campaigns are not properly performing when manually run using the “Run Campaign” button. The button skipped the run whenever the campaign already had a scheduled one — which is always the case after saving — so it reported success while doing nothing. On long frequencies (weekly, monthly) there was no way to start a campaign by hand at all. It now cancels the pending run and starts one immediately.
- Fix: Content generation with no API key saved stored an empty article and logged it as a success. Posts stayed at the same progress forever while the log claimed they were written. Nothing is saved now unless the AI actually returns an article.
- Fix: A campaign whose AI provider has no API key now says so in the logs and keeps its queued posts, instead of failing quietly and discarding them after two attempts. The posts resume on their own once the key is saved.
- Fix: A featured image that could not be fetched returned silently, leaving the post waiting on an image forever with nothing in the logs to explain why. The reason is now logged along with the provider’s own error message and how to fix it — add a valid image API key, or turn off “Generate Thumbnail” for the campaign.
- Fix: Campaigns stopped rescheduling themselves after any cycle with nothing to do, so a campaign that had reached its target never resumed when the target was raised later — it had to be re-saved by hand. Campaigns now always re-arm, and existing ones are re-armed automatically when you update.
- Fix: Stopped repeating the same “nothing to do” log entry on every cycle, which buried real entries on frequent schedules.
2.4.7 (20 August 2026)
- Compatibility: Make compatible with WordPress 7.1.
2.4.6 (11 August 2026)
- New: Added support for the latest Google Gemini models (Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, & 3.1 Flash-Lite). And removed deprecated 1.5 Flash, & 1.5 Pro models.
- Update: Article campaign’s host is now dropdown, so you can choose the source that best fits your niche.
- Fix: Fixed few known issues and removed unused code and options.
2.4.5 (6 August 2026)
- New: Autopilot campaign type — create a campaign with zero input: pick an AI provider and Autopilot analyzes your existing published content (titles, categories, tags), then writes new articles matched to your site’s niche without duplicating existing coverage. Requires at least 5 published posts.
- New: Language selection in the block editor — the AI sidebar and block toolbar modal now offer the same 23-language dropdown as the classic editor.
- New: Support for the latest OpenAI models — GPT-5.6 (Sol, Terra, Luna), GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4 (plus mini and nano), and GPT-5.2 join the existing GPT-5, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4o options.
- Enhance: “Test Connection” now refreshes the saved model list for that provider, so newly supported AI models appear without waiting for the 24-hour cache to expire. Click Test Connection, then reload the settings page.
2.4.2 (25 July 2026)
- New: Elementor support — the “AI Writer” button now works inside Elementor’s Text Editor widget, with editor styling that matches the Elementor panel.
- Fix: The AI Writer button in the Elementor Text Editor widget did nothing when clicked because its scripts were never loaded in Elementor’s editor canvas.
- Enhance: The classic editor modal is now wider for a more comfortable writing view.
