About PublishDone
From the official readme · v0.4.31Description
PublishDone helps you create a featured image and an OGP (social sharing) image when you publish a WordPress post.
Image generation runs on the PublishDone cloud service (an external SaaS), not only on your WordPress server. The plugin connects to that service and imports the generated results into your site.
Free plan (standalone free tier)
From this plugin you can connect to the Free plan without a paid license key.
- Scope: 1 site
- Monthly allowance: up to 3 article runs (1 article run = 1 featured image + 1 OGP image counted together)
- Free is not a time-limited trial of a paid plan. It is a standalone free plan on the service side.
When the monthly allowance is used up, additional generation is not accepted by the service (the plugin shows an allowance notice and paid-plan information). The plugin does not lock core WordPress post editing features.
To raise the monthly allowance, consider a paid monthly plan on the official site. To tidy many existing posts at once, there is a separate one-time product called the Initial Setup Pack (not shown in the Free plan menu).
Paid plans
Buy a license key on the official site and connect it from the plugin settings screen.
- Official site: https://publishdone.com/
External service (SaaS)
This plugin connects to the following external service. The service performs real image generation (it is not a license-check-only stub).
- Service name: PublishDone API
- Default endpoint: https://api.publishdone.com/
- Terms of service: https://publishdone.com/legal/terms.html
- Privacy policy: https://publishdone.com/legal/privacy.html
When you connect or configure the plugin, your site URL, license or Free connection details, and post title/body (and related fields needed for generation) are sent to that service. See the privacy policy for details.

Installation

Frequently asked questions
Is the Free plan a trial?
No. It is not a time-limited paid trial that suddenly stops. It is a standalone free plan on the service side with a monthly article-run allowance.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes. Generation runs on the PublishDone cloud service, so your site must reach https://api.publishdone.com/.
What data is sent?
For connection and generation, the plugin may send the site URL, connection details, and post title/body (and related fields needed to generate images). See https://publishdone.com/legal/privacy.html.
Can I use the Initial Setup Pack on Free?
No. The Initial Setup Pack is a separate one-time product for bulk cleanup of existing posts. It is outside the Free plan, and it is not included with monthly plans (Solo / Studio / Agency). Buy it on the official site if you need it. While connected as Free, the Initial Setup Pack menu is not shown.
I lost my license key
For paid plans, recover the key from your Lemon Squeezy order history (or follow the setup guide on the official site). Free plan users can reconnect from the settings screen.
