No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/carlosinho/ai-model-changer/archive/refs/heads/main.zipAI Model Changer is a small WordPress add-on plugin for the main WordPress AI plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai/. It adds a WordPress admin page where site operators can change the preferred AI model used for each model category exposed by the AI plugin.
The plugin exists so model preferences can be changed without editing the main AI plugin files.
What It Does
The main AI plugin defines preferred model lists for three categories:
- Text generation, via
wpai_preferred_text_models - Image generation, via
wpai_preferred_image_models - Vision, via
wpai_preferred_vision_models
AI Model Changer lets an administrator choose one provider/model pair for each category. When a custom pair is saved, the plugin moves that pair to the front of the corresponding preferred model list. The original AI plugin defaults remain available behind it as fallbacks.
If either the provider or model field is empty for a category, that category stays on Default and the original AI plugin preference list is returned unchanged.
