  • receive and display the generated image on the website.

Features

  • WordPress shortcode form
  • Prompt-based image generation
  • Image-to-image generation with up to 8 uploaded images
  • API key stored in WordPress admin settings
  • AJAX-based frontend interaction
  • Callback endpoint for receiving generation results
  • Basic file validation for uploaded images

  3. WordPress uploads images to the media library.
  4. WordPress sends the prompt and image URLs to the API.
  5. API returns a task ID.
