Saidweekly Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
saidweekly turns an editorial calendar into finished articles, on a schedule you choose.
The calendar, the topic editor, spreadsheet import and export, scheduling and publishing all
work inside WordPress with nothing else. Research, calendar planning, writing and featured images
come from the saidweekly service. The free plan needs no account, card or license key: click
Start the free plan under Settings saidweekly and the site is enrolled. It writes one article a
calendar month, each ending in the line “Article provided by saidweekly”, linking to saidweekly.com.
Paid plans at https://saidweekly.com/pricing are annual and cover one website: one article a
week, three a week, or one every day; their license key is pasted into the same screen, and
upgrading removes that line from every article.
saidweekly plans the calendar for you: it researches your business, its area and what your site
already covers, using live web search and a read of your own pages, and proposes detailed topics
for the next 90 days, each with its reasons and sources. The calendar is extended every month and
its research refreshed every quarter on paid plans; a full regeneration is available twice a year
on paid plans and once a year on the free plan. You keep it inside WordPress: edit or lock any
topic, type in your own, or import from a spreadsheet, and nothing you wrote, edited or locked is
ever changed by the plugin. Pick the days your articles fall on. Seven days ahead of each date the
saidweekly service writes the article, finds a featured image, and delivers it into your site.
Articles arrive as drafts for you to review unless you switch on automatic publishing, which
applies only to articles written after you turn it on and never publishes anything past its date.
What arrives with each draft
- The article body, written for your business using the details you enter under Branding
- An SEO title and meta description (the description also becomes the post excerpt)
- A featured image, with a filename and alt text, stored as WebP unless you turn that off
- Your category, and a short list of post tags
- A call to action linking wherever you choose
- The scheduled date from its topic, so Publish schedules rather than publishes immediately
What you keep control of
- Whether anything publishes without you: drafts by default, automatic publishing only if you
switch it on and confirm - Topics, titles, keywords, categories and dates are yours to set, and any topic can be locked
- A site-wide pause, and a hold on any article whose topic changed after it was written
- The calendar shows exactly where each topic is: Planned, Queued, Drafted, Scheduled,
Published, or Private - If the calendar runs low, the site administrator is emailed rather than the site quietly
running dry
The saidweekly service, and what leaves your site
This plugin is the WordPress half of a service. Nothing is sent anywhere until you click Start
the free plan, or activate a paid plan with its license key, under Settings saidweekly; before
that the plugin makes no outside requests at all. Once enrolled, the plugin talks only to the
saidweekly service at saidweekly.com, and only in these ways:
- Starting the free plan sends the site address, the address the service should deliver to,
and the email address and business name you enter on that screen. The screen says so before
you click. - Activating a paid plan sends your license key, the site address and the address the service
should deliver to. The key is used once and never stored on your site. - Twice a day the service checks in with your site and asks which topics are due. It receives
the job identifiers your site made up, and nothing else. - When an article is written, the service fetches that topic (title, keyword, notes, word
count), your Branding details, the identifiers of recently used photographs, the research
summary and your recent article titles. It holds them in memory while it writes, delivers the
finished draft, and keeps none of it afterwards. - When a calendar is planned, the service searches the web around your business and reads the
public pages of your own site. What it finds is stored on your site, with every source. - The Settings page reads your plan and credit balance from the service each time it opens.
- Billing buttons send you to the service’s payment provider, Stripe, in your browser.
The articles are written by the saidweekly service using Anthropic’s Claude models; web research
uses Anthropic’s web search; featured images come from Pexels. Your site never holds a key for any
of those providers and never calls them directly. The service is operated by Martin Miller
Software Consulting LLC under its terms of service (https://saidweekly.com/terms) and privacy
policy (https://saidweekly.com/privacy), which say what is kept on the service side (account,
plan, credit and operational records, never your articles or Branding) and for how long.
Requirements
- PHP 8.0 or later
- To receive articles: a site reachable over HTTPS, so the saidweekly service can confirm it and
deliver to it. The free plan needs nothing else; a paid plan needs its license key from
saidweekly.com
External services
This plugin is the WordPress half of a hosted service and does nothing on its own beyond the
editorial calendar. It connects to two external services; both are described here, and neither is
contacted until you start the free plan or activate a paid plan under Settings saidweekly.
The saidweekly generation service (operated by Martin Miller Software Consulting LLC, doing
business as saidweekly; terms of service https://saidweekly.com/terms, privacy policy
https://saidweekly.com/privacy). It is what researches your business, plans the editorial calendar,
writes the articles and chooses the featured images; none of that can be done inside WordPress.
What is sent, and when:
- When you click Start the free plan: this site’s address, the address articles should be
delivered to, the email address and business name shown on that screen, and whether you ticked
the box asking for occasional news about saidweekly (unticked by default; it only ever controls
marketing email, never service notices). - When you activate a paid plan: your license key, the site address and the delivery address. The
key is used once and never stored on your site. - Twice a day the service checks in and your site answers with the identifiers of the jobs that
are due, and nothing else. - When an article is written: the topic (title, keyword, notes, word count), your Branding details,
the identifiers of recently used photographs, the stored research summary and your recent article
titles. The service holds them in memory while it writes and keeps none of it afterwards. - When a calendar is planned: your Branding details and the public addresses of your own pages,
which the service reads; what it finds is stored on your site with every source. - When the Settings page opens: a request for your plan and credit balance.
- Billing buttons on the Settings page open the service’s payment provider, Stripe, in your browser.
The service in turn uses Anthropic’s Claude models and web search to write and research, and the
Pexels API to choose photographs. Your site never holds a key for any of those providers and never
calls them directly; the service’s privacy policy covers what it shares with them.
Pexels (terms of service https://www.pexels.com/terms-of-service/, privacy policy
https://www.pexels.com/privacy-policy/, license https://www.pexels.com/license/). When the service
delivers an article it names a photograph on images.pexels.com that it has already chosen. Your site
downloads that one file, once, into your media library as the article’s featured image, the way
WordPress’s own media sideloading works, and serves it from your site from then on; nothing is
hot-linked and no page on your site loads anything from Pexels. The request carries no data about
you or your site beyond the ordinary HTTP request for the file. If the download fails, the article
still arrives, without a featured image.
