Generate cleaner excerpts and taxonomy descriptions from WordPress admin.
WordPress Metadata AI Generator is an admin-only plugin that creates post excerpts and taxonomy descriptions with an OpenAI-compatible API. It is designed for site owners who want cleaner metadata without manually editing every post, page, category, or tag.
- Generates descriptions for posts, pages, admin-facing custom post types, categories, and tags
- Writes post-like results to the native WordPress excerpt field
- Writes category and tag results to the built-in term description field
- Lets admins run single-item generation from the editor or batch generation from wp-admin
- Supports Dry Run mode so results can be reviewed before they are written

Built for practical publishing workflows: configure once, generate from wp-admin, and keep control with Dry Run and native WordPress fields.
