Connect to GPT for WordPress

A lightweight, secure plugin that connects your WordPress site to a Custom GPT via a dedicated API layer. Built for users who want to manage WordPress content, comments and site structure through natural language commands in ChatGPT, without adding AI to the WordPress front end.

Features

• Content Management

  • Create or update posts, pages and custom post types
  • Set categories, tags, meta fields and featured images
  • Append or replace specific Gutenberg blocks

• Comment Moderation

  • Retrieve recent comments
  • Approve, trash, hold or mark as spam
  • Post contextual replies

• Structured Search

  • Find posts, pages, users, media, taxonomies, plugins or themes

• Site Overview

  • Return a dashboard-style summary of site activity
  • View post counts, drafts and recent changes

• Safe by Default

  • All changes are created as drafts unless explicitly allowed
  • Access requires Application Password authentication

How It Works

1. Install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site.
2. Complete the built-in onboarding flow to set up:
   • GPT name, image and description
   • API key via WordPress Application Passwords
   • Action schema via URL or manual JSON
3. Use your Custom GPT inside ChatGPT to issue commands like:
   • “Create a new post titled ‘Launch Recap’”
   • “Update the CTA on the homepage”
   • “Show me my latest draft posts”

All logic runs server-side through authenticated REST API endpoints. WordPress handles authentication and capability checks.

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the ZIP.
2. Upload to /wp-content/plugins/connect-to-gpt/
3. Activate the plugin in the WordPress admin
4. Go to Settings → Connect to GPT to complete setup

• Plugin actions are only accessible with a valid username and Application Password
