Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

PostNext turns your WordPress blog into a hands-off content engine.

You set up a content plan once in the PostNext app — start date, duration, posting cadence, language, and competitive intent — and the AI researches, writes, and ships articles to your WordPress site for the whole run. No copy-paste, no manual scheduling, no batch-generate-and-pray.

Plan it once, ship it daily

  • Multi-day content plans — choose 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or “Until I stop”. Set a start date and PostNext keeps the pipeline flowing.
  • Publish hour window (UTC) — pick the hour range when posts should go live (e.g. 08–19 UTC). Each article publishes at a random minute inside the window, so your blog cadence reads as human, not bot.
  • Content language — write natively in your audience’s language; not machine-translated from English.
  • Auto-publish to WordPress — publish posts automatically when generated, or leave off to land them as drafts for review.
  • Auto-promote on social media — create social posts to promote each blog post (managed in the PostNext app).
  • Competitor domains (optional) — enter competitor websites to discover content gaps. One domain per line, max 10. PostNext finds keywords and topics they rank for and you don’t, then writes content to close the gap.
