Step 1: Defining Content Core and Narrative Style

The first stage of the wizard focuses on the fundamental identity of your article. Here, you define what the post is about and how it should speak to your audience. Getting these settings right is essential for ensuring the AI produces relevant, high-value output.

• Mode Selection: You can choose between Single Post mode for targeted content or Batch Mode (Pro). Batch Mode allows for the simultaneous creation of multiple articles, significantly scaling your content production.
• Topic & Prompting: Enter a specific topic or provide detailed instructions. The more context you provide, such as key points to cover or specific data to include, the more accurate the resulting draft will be.
• Tone & Style: Select from predefined styles like Casual, Professional, or Technical. This choice dictates the vocabulary and sentence structure used by the AI.
• Target Audience & Point of View: Define your reader profile and the narrative perspective (1st, 2nd, or 3rd person). This ensures the content aligns with your site’s existing voice.

Before proceeding, ensure your AI provider is correctly configured in the to avoid errors during the generation phase.

Step 2: Configuring WordPress Metadata and Scheduling

Once the content identity is established, Step 2 handles the technical integration with your WordPress database. This phase ensures that the post is properly categorized and attributed within your site’s architecture.

• Destination Post Type: Choose whether the content should be created as a standard Post, a Page, or a custom post type like documentation.
• Author and Status: Assign a specific WordPress user as the author and set the initial status to Draft, Published, or Pending Review.
• Taxonomies: The wizard can automatically generate excerpts and assign relevant Categories and Tags based on the content analysis.
• Scheduling: You can set a specific publication date and time, allowing you to build a content queue in advance.

Step 3: Advanced SEO and Content Enhancements

Step 3 is where the “Pro” features of Antimanual truly shine. This stage focuses on the structural and SEO-related wrapper of the article, ensuring it is ready for search engine indexing and user engagement.

• SEO Optimization: The system auto-generates meta descriptions and defines focus keywords to improve search visibility.
• Structural Components: Pro users can toggle options to include a Table of Contents, a FAQ section, and a concluding summary automatically.
• Visual and Internal Linking: You can enable the generation of featured images and relevant inline images. Additionally, the AI can suggest internal links to strengthen your site’s link equity.

After the content is generated, you can always review the performance and logs of your tasks in the section.

Step 4: Final Review and Generation

The final step provides a summary of all your configurations. This is your last opportunity to verify the tone, audience, and technical settings before the AI begins the processing task. Once you click Generate, the system communicates with your selected AI model to weave the content together. A progress indicator will display the status, and upon completion, the post will be available in your WordPress editor for any final manual polishes.

Can I edit the content after it is generated?
Yes. Depending on your settings in Step 2, the post will be saved as a draft or published. You can open it in the standard Gutenberg editor at any time.

What happens if the generation fails?
Failures are usually related to API connectivity or credit limits. Ensure your API key is valid and check your usage limits with OpenAI or Google Gemini.

Does Batch Mode support different topics for each post?
Yes, in Batch Mode, you provide a list of topics (one per line), and the AI will generate unique articles for each entry following your style guidelines.
