A WordPress plugin that connects the WordPress Connectors API to OpenRouter, enabling access to hundreds of AI models through a unified interface.

Note: A more official OpenRouter provider implementation for WordPress is being developed separately. This project is maintained at its current version (0.1.0) and will not receive further feature development.

Features

  • Registers OpenRouter as an AI provider through the WordPress 7.0+ Connectors API
  • Text generation via GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Llama 3, Mistral, and more
  • Image generation via Gemini multimodal models
  • Flexible API key configuration (environment variable, PHP constant, or admin UI)
  • Fallback settings page for WordPress versions without the Connectors API

Requirements

Installation

  1. Upload the openrouter-connector directory to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen
  3. Go to Settings > Connectors (or Settings > OpenRouter if the Connectors API is not available)
  4. Enter your OpenRouter API key

API Key Configuration

The API key is resolved in the following priority order:

  1. Environment variable -- OPENROUTER_API_KEY
  2. PHP constant -- define( 'OPENROUTER_API_KEY', 'sk-or-...' ); in wp-config.php
  3. Database option -- set via the admin settings page
