Description

WebTend AI FAQ Creator automatically creates professionally written FAQ sections from your page content using artificial intelligence — then injects FAQ Schema (JSON-LD) so Google can show rich results in search.

No copywriting needed. No technical setup. Just open any page, click “Generate FAQs”, and you’re done.

✅ How It Works

Open any WordPress page or post
Find the AI FAQ Generator meta box
Click Generate FAQs from Page Content
Review and edit the AI-generated FAQs
Save the page — FAQ Schema is automatically injected
Embed FAQs anywhere with [wtaf_faq]

🔎 Live FAQ Search

Every FAQ section includes a built-in live search box. Visitors type a keyword and matching FAQs are instantly shown — no page reload, no plugin dependencies. Matching text is highlighted automatically. Fully accessible with ARIA live regions and keyboard support.

Control search with shortcode attributes:

[wtaf_faq] — search enabled by default
[wtaf_faq search="no"] — disable search
[wtaf_faq search_placeholder="Type your question…"] — custom placeholder

OpenAI — GPT-4o Mini, GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo

🔒 Privacy & API Keys

Your API keys are stored securely in your WordPress database and are never shared with WebTend. All AI requests are made directly from your server to the chosen AI provider.

🛠 Developer-Friendly

Filter: wtaf_meta_box_screens — add custom post types to the meta box (see includes/admin/class-wtaf-meta-box.php)
Filter: wtaf_schema_enabled — conditionally disable schema injection per post; implemented in includes/frontend/class-wtaf-schema.php → inject_schema()
Auto-append: enable in AI FAQ Creator Settings Display — implemented via the_content filter in includes/frontend/class-wtaf-shortcode.php → auto_append()
Template overrides: copy templates/faq-accordion.php or templates/faq-list.php into your active theme’s root folder — the shortcode checks for theme copies first via locate_template()
Shortcode attributes: post_id, style, title, class, search, search_placeholder

External Services

This plugin connects to third-party AI provider APIs to generate FAQ content. These calls are made only when you click “Generate FAQs” in the post editor — no data is sent automatically or on page load.

What data is sent: The text content of your WordPress page or post (the content you have written) is sent to the selected AI provider along with configuration parameters (FAQ count, tone). Your site URL or personal data is not included.

When it is sent: Only on demand, when you manually trigger FAQ generation from the post editor meta box.

OpenAI

Used to generate FAQ content via the GPT model you select (e.g. GPT-4o Mini).

FAQ

Do I need an AI API key?: Yes. The plugin uses your own API key (BYOK — Bring Your Own Key) to communicate with AI providers. This keeps costs transparent and data private. You can get a key from OpenAI, Google AI Studio, or Anthropic.
Which AI provider should I use?: GPT-4o Mini (OpenAI) is the recommended starting point — fast, affordable, and high quality. Gemini 1.5 Flash is the most cost-effective option. Claude Haiku is excellent for detailed technical content.
Will the FAQs appear in Google search results?: The plugin automatically injects FAQPage JSON-LD schema, making your FAQs eligible for Google rich results (FAQ snippets). Appearance in search results is at Google’s discretion.
Can I edit the generated FAQs?: Yes. All generated FAQs appear as editable fields in the meta box before saving. You can modify questions and answers or remove items you don’t need.
How does the live search work?: The search box filters FAQ items in real time as visitors type — no AJAX, no page reload. It searches both the question and answer text, highlights matched keywords, and announces results to screen readers via an ARIA live region. Use [wtaf_faq search="no"] to disable it.
How do I display FAQs on my page?: Use the [wtaf_faq] shortcode in your content, or add the AI FAQ Display Gutenberg block. You can also enable Auto-Append in Settings to automatically add FAQs below page content without a shortcode.
Can I disable the search box?: Yes. Add search="no" to the shortcode: [wtaf_faq search="no"]. You can also customise the placeholder: [wtaf_faq search_placeholder="Find an answer…"].
Is this plugin GDPR compliant?: The plugin does not collect personal data. The live search runs entirely in the visitor’s browser. API calls pass your page content to your chosen AI provider — please review the privacy policies of OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic for their data handling practices.
Can I use this with custom post types?: Yes. Use the wtaf_meta_box_screens filter to add your custom post type slugs.
Can I override the FAQ templates?: Yes. Copy faq-accordion.php or faq-list.php from the plugin’s templates/ folder into your theme’s root directory and edit freely.
Can I back up or migrate my FAQs to another site?: Yes. Go to AI FAQ Import / Export and click Download Export File. Choose JSON (best for re-importing) or CSV (best for editing in Excel / Google Sheets). To import on another site, upload the same file on the Import / Export page and choose your duplicate strategy (Replace or Skip).
Can I import FAQs I wrote myself in Excel?: Yes. Create a CSV with columns: Post Title, Post URL, Question, Answer. Each row is one FAQ item. Multiple rows with the same Post URL are grouped into one FAQ set. Upload the file on the Import / Export page.
