M7tawa FAQ Manager for Posts

M7tawa FAQ Manager for Posts lets you create and display accessible FAQ accordions on WordPress content, with optional Schema.org FAQPage structured data. Google no longer displays FAQ rich results, but the visible FAQ content remains useful to readers. Version 3.0.0 adds optional AI-assisted FAQ drafting through the built-in WordPress AI Client and site-configured Connectors. AI suggestions can be generated from new or existing posts, reviewed in Bulk Entry, then added to the current FAQ list or used to replace it only after explicit user confirmation. The update also introduces a redesigned tabbed settings screen while preserving existing FAQ data, option keys, shortcode, block identity, front-end HTML, and FAQPage structured data behavior. Features:

• Up to 10 questions and answers per post.
• Manual entry plus fast bulk entry using alternating question/answer lines.
• Optional AI-assisted FAQ suggestions through the built-in WordPress AI Client and configured Connectors.
• Drag-and-drop ordering without jQuery.
• Classic Editor meta box.
• Dynamic Gutenberg block using the same saved FAQ data.
• Automatic display before or after content.
• Manual display using the block or [m7tawa_faq] shortcode.
• Responsive, accessible accordion.
• RTL and LTR support.
• Light and dark color-scheme support.
• Optional Schema.org FAQPage JSON-LD.
• Import, export, and reset settings.
• No Bootstrap, jQuery, or external libraries.

3.0.0

• Added optional AI-assisted FAQ generation using the built-in WordPress AI Client and site-configured Connectors.
• AI generation is available directly from the FAQ editor in both Manual Entry and Bulk Entry workflows; generated text is always sent to Bulk Entry for review before creating FAQ items.
• Added two explicit creation modes: Add to existing FAQs (default) and Replace existing FAQs. Replacement requires user confirmation and does not occur during AI generation.
• Older posts with existing FAQs are supported. Add mode uses current FAQ items as context to avoid repeated questions, while Replace mode can generate a complete replacement set.
• Added requested-versus-generated question counts so partial AI results are clearly reported instead of being presented as a complete result.
• Newly created AI-assisted items receive a temporary editor-only badge/highlight so users can identify what was just added; no extra post meta is stored for this marker.
• Added an on-demand AI connection test and direct access to WordPress Connectors without storing API keys in the plugin.
• Added text-generation capability checks, lightweight model preferences, bounded prompts/output tokens, a scoped 90-second AI request timeout, one controlled retry for temporary 429/502/503/504 provider failures, and clean provider-error messages.
• Rebuilt the settings screen with a modern card-and-tab interface while preserving existing settings keys, post meta, shortcode, block name, front-end FAQ HTML, and FAQPage JSON-LD behavior.
• Added direct Documentation, Support Forum, More from M7tawa, and Rate this plugin links using clean URLs without tracking parameters.
• Preserved the developer credit, website, and current version in the settings footer.
• No custom database tables, cron jobs, automatic AI requests, tracking, or background polling were added.

• Corrected the WordPress.org contributor username to aymanabdullahdev.
• Preserved legacy settings and post meta for backward compatibility during the identity transition.
