Supports WordPress >= 5.9 on PHP >= 7.4.

Getting Started

Installation

This plugin is installed from GitHub, not from WordPress.org.

  1. Clone or copy this repository into /wp-content/plugins/lookit-seo-autofill.
  2. Activate Lookit SEO Autofill through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Yoast SEO should be active; the plugin writes Yoast meta fields.

Configuration

Open Auto SEO Templates (under Yoast SEO when Yoast is active, otherwise under Settings). Enable the post types you want, choose how the focus keyphrase is derived, and set a meta-description template.

Features

  • Per-post-type rules for focus keyphrase, meta description, and related keyphrases.
  • Keyphrase sources include the post title, slug, and the top content word.
  • Related keyphrases from post content, expanded with the free Datamuse API.
  • A per-post lock so later publishes do not overwrite SEO you have already set.
  • A Test & Reprocess tool for posts published before the rules were enabled.

Security and Privacy

  • A stored OpenRouter API key is never sent back to the browser, is not autoloaded, and is removed on uninstall.
  • Submitting a blank key keeps the saved value.

Datamuse is called only when related-keyphrase generation is enabled. See Datamuse's API notes.

Development

Setup

Install the development dependencies with Composer:

composer install

Running the Test Suite

The integration tests run against a real WordPress test install and a MySQL database. Install the test suite once, then run PHPUnit:

# bin/install-wp-tests.sh <db-name> <db-user> <db-pass> <db-host> <wp-version>
bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root '' 127.0.0.1 latest

composer test

Coding Standards

This project follows the WordPress Coding Standards and checks PHP cross-version compatibility:

composer phpcs    # check coding standards
composer phpcbf   # auto-fix what can be fixed
composer compat   # check PHP 7.4+ compatibility
composer lint     # php -l syntax check on all files

Continuous Integration

Every push and pull request runs the following GitHub Actions workflows:

Workflow Purpose
Lint php -l syntax check across the supported PHP versions
Coding Standards WordPress Coding Standards (PHPCS)
Plugin Check Official WordPress Plugin Check
Test PHPUnit across a broad WordPress × PHP matrix

A scheduled Version Monitor workflow watches for new PHP and WordPress releases so compatibility can be reviewed proactively.
