Plan, organize, and generate content for your WordPress site with AI. Free to use.

== Description ==

**CPlanTeam Content Planner with AI** is your all‑in‑one content manager and AI-powered content generator for WordPress. Whether you run a blog, a business site, or a content hub, Content Planner helps you stay organized and publish consistently—without the overwhelm.

= What You Can Do (Free) =

* **Plan your content** – Create and schedule content ideas with titles, structures, keywords, and dates.
* **Generate AI content plans** – Let AI suggest a full content plan based on your goals (Traffic, Leads, Authority) and preferences.
* **Generate full posts from plans** – Turn any plan item into a complete WordPress post with one click.
* **View in Table or Calendar** – Switch between a list view and a visual calendar to see your schedule at a glance.
* **Manage everything in one place** – Edit, reschedule, bulk delete, and keep track of drafts, scheduled, and published items.
* **Track usage** – See your AI token balance and renewal date in the dashboard.
* **Background tasks** – Generation runs in the background; you can keep working while AI creates your content.

= How It Works =

1. **Activate** the plugin—no complex setup.
2. **Complete onboarding** – Choose your content goal, language, and optional recommendations.
3. **Opt in** when prompted to enable AI features (optional but recommended).
4. **Create plans manually** or click **Generate AI** to get a batch of ideas.
5. **Generate posts** from any plan item when you’re ready to publish.

= Our Own API =

Content Planner uses our own dedicated API hosted at **api.contentplan.app** for AI generation, usage tracking, and content moderation. Your data is handled securely and in line with our privacy policy. The plugin communicates with this API only when you use AI features.

= Free vs Pro =

* **Free:** 20 AI tokens per 30 days—enough to try the full workflow and generate several posts.
* **Pro:** 300 AI tokens per 30 days for heavier content production.

= Perfect For =

* Bloggers who want to plan ahead
* Small businesses managing their own content
* Editors coordinating multiple writers
* Anyone who wants AI help without leaving WordPress

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/content-plan` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Open **AI Planner** in your admin menu to start planning.
4. Follow the onboarding steps to set your goals and generate your first content plan.

No database setup or configuration is required—the plugin creates its tables automatically.

== Documentation ==

A full User Guide for site admins and editors is available in the plugin: `docs/USER-GUIDE.md`

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the CPlanTeam Content Plan API (api.contentplan.app) to provide AI-powered content generation, usage tracking, and related services. It is needed to generate content plans and full posts from plan items.

It sends prompts, topic inputs, content plan requests, and article generation inputs when you use AI features. AI functionality is disabled by default and activated only after explicit user opt-in (required for consent under data protection laws before transmitting data). Prompts are not logged. Generated outputs are stored server-side. Technical data (website domain, plugin version, license key, usage metadata) may be sent for license validation and plan limit enforcement.

This service is provided by 0N3 LAB Sp. z o.o.: [terms of use](https://contentplan.app/terms-of-use/), [privacy policy](https://contentplan.app/privacy-policy/).

= Do I need to opt in for the plugin to work? =

= Where is the API hosted? =

CPlanTeam Content Planner with AI uses our own API at api.contentplan.app for AI generation and related services.

Tokens reset on your renewal date (shown in the Usage box). You can also upgrade to Pro for 300 tokens per 30 days.

= Can I use my own editor (Gutenberg, Elementor, Classic)? =
