How It Works

  1. The user enters a text prompt.
  2. The user selects an image generation model.
  3. The user optionally uploads reference images.
  4. Uploaded images are stored temporarily outside the WordPress Media Library.
  5. The plugin sends a request to the Chad Image API.
  6. The API returns a content_id.
  7. The plugin checks the generation status using the API check endpoint.
  8. When the generation is completed, the generated image URLs are displayed on the website.
  9. Temporary uploaded files are deleted after generation is completed, failed, or cancelled.

Shortcode

Add the generator form to any WordPress page using:

[chad_image_generator]

Installation

  1. Download or clone this repository.
  2. Copy the plugin folder into your WordPress plugins directory: wp-content/plugins/chad-image-generator/
  3. Go to WordPress Admin → Plugins.
  4. Activate Chad Image Generator.
  5. Go to Settings → Chad Image Generator.
  6. Add your Chad Image API key.
  7. Add the shortcode to any page.

API Key Security

The API key is stored in the WordPress admin settings.

The API key is not exposed in frontend JavaScript and should never be committed to this repository.

Temporary File Handling

Uploaded user images are not saved to the WordPress Media Library.

For models that require image URLs, images are temporarily stored in:

wp-content/uploads/chad-temp/

Temporary files are deleted after the generation status becomes:

  • completed
  • failed
  • cancelled

Old temporary files are also cleaned up automatically.

Requirements

  • WordPress
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • Active Chad Image API account
  • Valid Chad Image API key
  • Server permissions to write to the WordPress uploads directory

Notes

This plugin is a custom integration prototype and is not an official Chad product.
