External Services
This plugin connects to third-party AI provider APIs to generate FAQ content. These calls are made only when you click “Generate FAQs” in the post editor — no data is sent automatically or on page load.
What data is sent: The text content of your WordPress page or post (the content you have written) is sent to the selected AI provider along with configuration parameters (FAQ count, tone). Your site URL or personal data is not included.
When it is sent: Only on demand, when you manually trigger FAQ generation from the post editor meta box.
OpenAI
Used to generate FAQ content via the GPT model you select (e.g. GPT-4o Mini).

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an AI API key?
Yes. The plugin uses your own API key (BYOK — Bring Your Own Key) to communicate with AI providers. This keeps costs transparent and data private. You can get a key from OpenAI, Google AI Studio, or Anthropic.
Which AI provider should I use?
GPT-4o Mini (OpenAI) is the recommended starting point — fast, affordable, and high quality. Gemini 1.5 Flash is the most cost-effective option. Claude Haiku is excellent for detailed technical content.
Will the FAQs appear in Google search results?
The plugin automatically injects FAQPage JSON-LD schema, making your FAQs eligible for Google rich results (FAQ snippets). Appearance in search results is at Google’s discretion.
Can I edit the generated FAQs?
Yes. All generated FAQs appear as editable fields in the meta box before saving. You can modify questions and answers or remove items you don’t need.
How does the live search work?
The search box filters FAQ items in real time as visitors type — no AJAX, no page reload. It searches both the question and answer text, highlights matched keywords, and announces results to screen readers via an ARIA live region. Use [wtaf_faq search="no"] to disable it.
How do I display FAQs on my page?
Use the [wtaf_faq] shortcode in your content, or add the AI FAQ Display Gutenberg block. You can also enable Auto-Append in Settings to automatically add FAQs below page content without a shortcode.
Can I disable the search box?
Yes. Add search="no" to the shortcode: [wtaf_faq search="no"]. You can also customise the placeholder: [wtaf_faq search_placeholder="Find an answer…"].
Is this plugin GDPR compliant?
The plugin does not collect personal data. The live search runs entirely in the visitor’s browser. API calls pass your page content to your chosen AI provider — please review the privacy policies of OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic for their data handling practices.
Can I use this with custom post types?
Yes. Use the wtaf_meta_box_screens filter to add your custom post type slugs.
Can I override the FAQ templates?
Yes. Copy faq-accordion.php or faq-list.php from the plugin’s templates/ folder into your theme’s root directory and edit freely.
Can I back up or migrate my FAQs to another site?
Yes. Go to AI FAQ → Import / Export and click Download Export File. Choose JSON (best for re-importing) or CSV (best for editing in Excel / Google Sheets). To import on another site, upload the same file on the Import / Export page and choose your duplicate strategy (Replace or Skip).
Can I import FAQs I wrote myself in Excel?
Yes. Create a CSV with columns: Post Title, Post URL, Question, Answer. Each row is one FAQ item. Multiple rows with the same Post URL are grouped into one FAQ set. Upload the file on the Import / Export page.
