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

CRAI Content Updater keeps your WordPress content accurate, competitive, and ranking.

Over time, blog posts go stale: prices change, statistics become outdated, year references age, and SEO meta loses relevance. CRAI Content Updater uses the AI provider of your choice to research current facts and refresh outdated content — saving every change as a draft for your review before anything goes live.

Your original content never changes without your approval.

How It Works

  • Pick any published post or page from the Refresh Content tab
  • Choose what to update: facts, dates, prices, reviews, SEO metadata, or tone
  • The AI reads, diagnoses, and refreshes your content, saving it as a draft
  • Review the changes, approve, and the live post updates — or discard it

Key Features

  • Unlimited Content Refreshes — Refresh as many posts as you want, as often as you want. No caps, no monthly limits, no license keys.
  • Draft Review Workflow — Every update saves as a draft. Your live post never changes until you explicitly approve it.
  • Multi-Provider Support — Works with Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI (GPT-4.1), Gemini Paid, and Gemini Free. Bring your own API key.
  • Gemini Free Built-In — Works out of the box with a free Google Gemini API key. No credit card required to get started.
  • Bulk Refresh — Select multiple posts and refresh them sequentially in the background.
  • Freshness Scoring — Posts sorted by staleness so you always know what needs attention first.
  • Elementor Support — Widget-by-widget updates preserve your Elementor layout.
  • Yoast SEO & Rank Math Compatible — Reads and writes focus keyword, SEO title, and meta description for both Yoast SEO and Rank Math. When the SEO update option is enabled, the AI rewrites your meta fields and saves them directly to the draft — no manual copy-paste required.
  • Update History — Full log of every AI refresh with before/after word counts and change summaries.
  • Performance Analytics — Track post-refresh view trends with built-in pageview tracking (no third-party services).
  • AI Provider Status Widget — Live sidebar indicator shows which AI provider is active and whether your API key is working.
  • Before/After Compare Modal — Side-by-side diff of every change the AI made before you approve.
  • Accurate Cost Tracking — All API calls (including multi-stage Deep Research) are counted and displayed in history.

What Can Be Refreshed

  • Dates and time references — “in 2022” -> “currently”
  • Facts, statistics, and data — outdated figures updated with current values
  • Prices and product information — pricing and feature lists kept current
  • Review scores and ratings — star ratings, pros/cons, verdicts updated
  • SEO title and meta description — rewritten with current year and keyword

External Services

This plugin connects to AI provider APIs to perform content analysis and rewriting. AI processing happens on the provider’s servers — that is the core function of the plugin.

You choose which provider to use and supply your own API key. Supported providers:

  • Anthropic Claude — anthropic.com · Terms of Service · Privacy Policy
  • OpenAI — openai.com · Terms of Service · Privacy Policy
  • Google Gemini (paid and free tier) — ai.google.dev · Terms of Service · Privacy Policy

What is sent: When you trigger a refresh, the plugin sends the post title, post content, focus keyword (if available), and your selected update preferences to the AI provider you have configured. The provider’s response is saved locally as a WordPress draft.

What is NOT sent: Nothing is sent to CRAI servers. API keys and post content stay between your site and the AI provider you select. The plugin does not phone home, collect telemetry, or transmit any data to third parties beyond your chosen AI provider.

API keys are stored in the WordPress options table on your own database.
