• Enable internal linking with accurate sitemap URL
• Review and optimize meta descriptions manually after generation
• Add featured images for better social sharing

⚙️ Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: Cron not running / Posts not generating automatically

• Solution 1: Check if WordPress cron is working (install "WP Crontrol" plugin to verify)
• Solution 2: Ask your host to set up server-level cron job pointing to wp-cron.php
• Solution 3: Use "Run Now" manually if automatic scheduling doesn't work

Issue: API error "Invalid API Key"

• Verify API key is copied correctly without extra spaces
• Check if API key has necessary permissions in provider dashboard
• Ensure billing is set up for paid providers (OpenAI, Anthropic)

Issue: Generated content is low quality

• Add more detailed instructions in Custom Content Prompt
• Use more specific topic titles and primary keywords
• Try different AI models (GPT-4 for highest quality)
• Adjust temperature setting (0.6-0.8 usually optimal)

Issue: Images not generating

• Verify your text provider supports image generation (Gemini does, GPT-4 doesn't)
• If using separate image provider, ensure it's properly configured
• Check image prompt template has correct placeholders
• Test image connection separately

Issue: Posts appearing too fast/slow

• Adjust "Frequency" setting in scheduler (Hourly vs Daily)
• Change "Posts Per Run" to control volume
• Use "Max Posts Per Day" to cap daily output
• Plugin intelligently distributes posts across time period

🔧 Maintenance Best Practices

• Weekly: Review logs and published posts for quality
• Monthly: Analyze which topics perform best, add similar ones
• Monthly: Check API usage and costs in provider dashboards
• Quarterly: Update content prompts based on content performance
• As Needed: Clear logs when they get too long (use "Clear All Logs")

💰 Cost Optimization

Approximate costs per post (varies by content length and model):

• Google Gemini Flash: $0.01-0.03 per post (extremely affordable)
• GPT-3.5-Turbo: $0.03-0.08 per post
• GPT-4: $0.15-0.40 per post (premium quality)
• Claude Sonnet: $0.10-0.25 per post

Example: 100 posts/month with Gemini = ~$2-3/month in API costs!
