Navigate to: Grow More AI → CTAs & Offers

CTA Types

Assigning CTAs to Pillars

When editing a Content Pillar, select one or more CTAs. If multiple are selected, one will be randomly chosen for each article.

6. Automated Scheduling

Configure automatic content generation on a schedule.

Global Scheduler Settings

Navigate to: Grow More AI → Settings → Scheduler

Setting	Description	Recommended
Enable Background Processing	Master switch for all scheduled generation	✅ Enable
Check Frequency	How often to check for due pillars	Hourly
Posts Per Run	Max articles per scheduler run	1-3
Auto-Trigger	Pings cron even without site traffic	✅ Enable

Per-Pillar Schedule Settings

Each Content Pillar has its own schedule. Edit the pillar and find the Schedule section:

Schedule Types

• Manual: Only generates when you click the button
• Interval: Generate every X hours/days/weeks
• Specific Date: Generate on a specific date (one-time or recurring)

Example Configurations

Use Case	Schedule Type	Settings
Daily blog posts	Interval	Every 1 day at 9:00 AM
Weekly newsletter content	Interval	Every 7 days at 6:00 AM
Product launch	Specific Date	March 15, 2024 at 8:00 AM

Server Cron (Recommended for Reliability)

WordPress cron only runs when someone visits your site. For reliable scheduling, set up a real server cron:

Step 1: Disable WordPress Cron

Add to wp-config.php:

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

Step 2: Add Server Cron Job

Add this to your crontab (runs every minute):

* * * * * wget -q -O - https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

10. Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ “API key invalid” error

• Double-check your API key for typos
• Ensure the key has sufficient credits/quota
• Verify the correct endpoint is selected

❌ Scheduled articles not generating

• Check that “Background Processing” is enabled in Settings → Scheduler
• Verify the pillar has a schedule set (not “Manual”)
• Enable “Auto-Trigger” or set up server cron
• Enable Debug Mode to see what’s happening

❌ “Duplicate content” error

• The same keyword was used this month
• Use “Force Regenerate” to bypass, or wait until next month
• Disable duplicate checking in Settings → Publishing

❌ Low SEO scores

• Enable “SEO Optimization” on the pillar
• Increase “Max Optimization Passes” to 3-5
• Make your Topic/Brief more specific about keyword usage

❌ Generation times out

• Enable “Background Processing” — it’s more reliable
• Long-form content (4000+ words) may need 3-5 minutes
• Check server’s max_execution_time PHP setting

❌ Malformed links in FAQ section

• This was fixed in v2.7.0 — update to latest version
• The AI sometimes generates broken HTML; the plugin now sanitizes it
