# WP-Autoplugin





  WP-Autoplugin Logo




WP-Autoplugin is a free WordPress plugin that uses AI to assist in generating, fixing, and extending plugins on-demand. It enables users to quickly create functional plugins from simple descriptions, addressing specific needs without unnecessary bloat.



- Generate plugins using AI

- Fix and extend existing plugins

- Full control over the generation process

- Support for multiple AI models, and any OpenAI-compatible custom API

- View the list of generated plugins for easy management



---



WP-Autoplugin offers practical solutions for various WordPress development scenarios:



- **Lightweight Alternatives**: Create simple, focused plugins to replace large, feature-heavy plugins that may slow down your site or include unnecessary features and advertisements.

- **Custom Solutions**: Develop site-specific plugins tailored to your unique requirements, eliminating the need for complex workarounds or multiple plugins.

- **Developer Foundations**: Generate solid base plugins that developers can extend and build upon, streamlining the process of creating complex, custom plugins.



## Plugin Highlights



- **Completely Free**: No premium version, no ads, no account required.

- **Open Source**: Contributions are welcome.

- **Privacy-Focused**: No data collection or external communication (except for the AI API you choose).

- **BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)**: Use your own API key from the AI provider of your choice.

- **Flexible AI Models**: Choose from a variety of AI models to suit your needs, or set up custom models.

- **Use in Your Language**: The plugin is fully translatable and has built-in support for 10+ languages.



## How It Works



1. **Describe Your Plugin**: Provide a description of the plugin you want to create.

2. **AI Generation**: WP-Autoplugin uses AI to generate a development plan and write the code.

3. **Review and Install**: Review the generated plan and code, make any necessary changes, and install the plugin with a single click.



You can also use WP-Autoplugin to **fix bugs**, **add new features**, or **explain plugins** you've created with the tool. The **Explain Plugin** feature allows you to ask questions or obtain general overviews of generated plugins, helping you better understand their functionality and structure.



## Extend Third-Party Plugins with Hooks



WP-Autoplugin allows you to easily extend **any plugin** directly from the WordPress Plugins page:



- Click on the "**Extend Plugin**" action link for the plugin you'd like to enhance.

- WP-Autoplugin will analyze the selected plugin, extracting available action and filter hooks along with relevant contextual details.

- Provide a description of the desired extension; WP-Autoplugin assesses the technical feasibility using available hooks.

- A new extension plugin will be generated based on your description, allowing seamless integration with the existing plugin functionality.

## Auto-detect Fatal Errors



When you activate an AI-generated plugin, WP-Autoplugin will automatically detect fatal errors and deactivate the plugin to prevent site crashes. A message with the error details will be displayed, along with a link to fix the issue automatically with AI.



## Supported Models



WP-Autoplugin supports 30+ AI models, including:



- Claude 3.7 Sonnet

- Claude 3.5 Sonnet

- Claude 3.5 Haiku

- o3-mini

- GPT-4.5

- GPT-4o

- GPT-4o mini

- Google Gemini 2.0 Pro

- Google Gemini 2.0 Flash

- xAI Grok 2



While WP-Autoplugin is free to use, you may need to pay for API usage based on your chosen model.



## Custom Models



WP-Autoplugin supports custom models: you can plug in any OpenAI-compatible API by providing the endpoint URL, model name, and API key. This feature allows you to use any model you have access to, including locally hosted models, or custom models you've trained yourself.



## BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)



To use WP-Autoplugin, you'll need an API key from an AI provider. Insert your key in the plugin settings to get started. Your API key remains on your server and is not shared with anyone.



Some AI platforms currently offer free plans and include SOTA models, like **Gemini 2.0 Pro** through [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/). Refer to the respective websites for pricing information.



## AI-Generated Plugins



Plugins created by WP-Autoplugin are standard WordPress plugins:



- They function independently and will continue to work even if WP-Autoplugin is deactivated or deleted.

- You can install them on other WordPress sites without WP-Autoplugin.

- While WP-Autoplugin provides a convenient listing screen for generated plugins, they can also be managed from the standard WordPress Plugins screen.



## Code Quality and Security



WP-Autoplugin aims to generate code that adheres to WordPress coding standards. However, it's important to treat AI-generated code with the same caution you would apply to any third-party code. We strongly recommend:



- Reviewing and testing all generated code before use in a production environment.

- Conducting thorough testing on a staging site before deployment.

- Considering a professional security audit for critical applications.



## Limitations



WP-Autoplugin has some limitations to be aware of:

- Works best with simple plugins; may struggle with complex, multi-feature plugins.

- Generates single-file plugins only.

- Plugins require thorough testing before use on production sites.



## Installation



1. Download the latest release from the [Releases](https://github.com/WP-Autoplugin/wp-autoplugin/releases) page.

2. Upload the plugin zip file through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress, or unzip the file and upload the `wp-autoplugin` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.

3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.

4. Go to the WP-Autoplugin settings page and enter your API key(s).

5. Choose your preferred AI model in the settings.

6. Start generating plugins!
