You connect the AI account or provider you want to use, keep chats in WordPress, and stay in control of content changes with questions, plans, and approvals. #### What OctoPress helps you do * Use your own AI account or API provider instead of being locked into one hosted service. * Sign in with ChatGPT or connect an API provider such as OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, OpenCode Go, ZAI, or a custom compatible endpoint. * Keep saved AI chats inside WordPress admin. * Choose focused agents such as Octo or Content Writer for different types of work. * Let agents ask questions or propose plans before continuing. * Review approval requests before content changes are made. * Work with WordPress content using site-aware tools. * Attach images to chats when the selected model supports image input. * Preview and reuse chat images in later messages. * Retry a failed turn with your current provider, model, and agent selection. * Update WordPress content with approval-gated changes such as slug, status, categories, tags, and featured image. * Use native WooCommerce abilities when WooCommerce is active and exposes them. #### How it works OctoPress runs inside WordPress admin. You connect your AI account or API provider, sync available models, enable the model you want, and start chatting. When an agent needs information from WordPress, OctoPress can provide safe site context such as posts, pages, public post types, plugins, themes, blocks, patterns, theme design settings, and available WordPress abilities. When an agent wants to change content, OctoPress uses enabled tools and permission checks so you can stay in control. OctoPress does not include an AI model. The AI responses come from the provider you choose. #### What is included * First-run onboarding for provider setup and readiness checks. * A saved chat workspace in WordPress admin. * Provider setup for ChatGPT sign-in, OpenAI API keys, compatible API providers, and custom endpoints. * Agent profiles with editable prompts, skills, handoff behavior, and a default agent for new chats. * Native question, plan review, handoff, and approval flows. * Permission controls for actions that should require confirmation. * Content tools for inspecting WordPress content, blocks, patterns, theme colors, typography, spacing, and draft content. * Image-aware chat attachments, image preview, and reuse for compatible models. * Media Library save actions for selected OctoPress chat images. * Failed-turn retry support for recovering from provider or runtime errors. * Model capability handling so image controls are shown only when the selected model supports image input. * Native WooCommerce ability support when WooCommerce is active and exposes abilities. * Extension support so additional tools, skills, and agents can be added later. #### Your data and credentials OctoPress stores its settings, provider configuration, encrypted provider secrets, chats, messages, runs, agents, tools, skills, and extension settings in your WordPress database. API keys and OAuth credentials are stored server-side and are not returned to browser users through normal OctoPress REST responses. #### Hosting requirements OctoPress requires PHP 8.1 or newer. For long chats to continue reliably, your host must allow normal WordPress loopback requests to the same site. The free plugin does not require PHP CLI access, shell access, or server process execution. Some hosts block loopback requests or disable WP-Cron. In those environments OctoPress can activate, but long-running chats may not continue reliably until loopback requests are allowed. Sites with disabled WP-Cron should configure a real server cron for` wp-cron.php`. #### Admin app source files OctoPress includes compiled admin JavaScript and CSS in `assets/admin/dist`. The human-readable admin app source is included in `assets/admin/src`, with build configuration in `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `vite.config.ts`, and `tsconfig.json`. ### Optional External Services OctoPress does not contact AI providers automatically. A provider is contacted only after an administrator selects and configures that provider, then uses model sync, chat, or an AI-assisted workflow with that provider. Depending on the action, data sent to the configured provider may include prompts, chat messages, selected WordPress content, tool context, model names, provider metadata, and generated responses. Built-in provider presets include: * OpenAI / ChatGPT: Terms https://openai.com/policies/row-terms-of-use/ – Privacy https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/ * DeepSeek: Terms https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-open-platform- terms-of-service.html – Privacy https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek- privacy-policy.html * OpenRouter: Terms https://openrouter.ai/terms – Privacy https://openrouter.ai/ privacy * OpenCode Go: Terms https://opencode.ai/legal/terms-of-service – Privacy https:// opencode.ai/legal/privacy-policy * ZAI / ZAI Coding Plan: Terms https://docs.z.ai/legal-agreement/terms-of-use – Privacy https://docs.z.ai/legal-agreement/privacy-policy OctoPress also supports custom provider endpoints. If you configure a custom provider, review that provider’s terms, privacy policy, and data handling practices before connecting it. ## Screenshots [⌊OctoPress chat workspace with agent, provider, and model selection.⌉⌊OctoPress chat workspace with agent, provider, and model selection.⌉[ OctoPress chat workspace with agent, provider, and model selection.

You connect it to the AI account, API provider, or compatible endpoint you want to use. ### Can I use my existing AI subscription? Yes, when the provider supports it. ChatGPT sign-in lets you connect a ChatGPT account instead of entering an OpenAI API key. API-key providers use their own account, billing, and usage rules. ### Which providers are supported? OctoPress supports ChatGPT sign-in, OpenAI API keys, ZAI Coding Plan, DeepSeek, OpenCode Go, compatible API providers, and custom endpoints. The provider setup wizard includes presets for several popular providers, and advanced users can add their own compatible endpoint. ### What data is stored in WordPress? OctoPress stores provider configuration, encrypted provider secrets, chats, messages, settings, agent profiles, tool settings, skill settings, and extension settings in your WordPress database. ### Are API keys exposed to browser users? No. Provider secrets are stored server-side and are not returned in normal browser- facing REST responses. ### Can OctoPress update WordPress content? Yes, but only through enabled tools and permissions. Content-writing workflows are designed around drafts or explicit user-approved updates. Approval-gated actions require confirmation unless you configure that chat to approve selected actions automatically. ### Can I use images in chat? Yes, when the selected model supports image input. OctoPress supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF image attachments, lets you preview and reuse chat images, and can save selected OctoPress chat images to the WordPress Media Library. ### What happens if a chat run fails? OctoPress can retry the latest failed turn without duplicating your original message. The retry uses your current provider, model, and agent selection, so you can adjust those settings before trying again. ### Does OctoPress work with WooCommerce? OctoPress can expose native WooCommerce abilities when WooCommerce is active and those abilities are available on the site. The plugin can use WooCommerce’s own supported abilities through the OctoPress tool and approval system. ### Does OctoPress work without a provider? You can activate the plugin and open onboarding, but chat workflows require at least one configured provider with an enabled model. ### Does OctoPress run on cPanel hosting? Yes, when the hosting account allows normal WordPress loopback requests to the same site. The free plugin does not require shell or process execution. If a host blocks loopback requests or disables WP-Cron without a replacement cron job, long-running chats may not continue reliably. ### Where can I get support? Use the WordPress.org support forum for the free OctoPress plugin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “OctoPress” is open source software.
