Real Testimonials “Must-have for content marketing. This is a super easy way to customize the featured images that appear in the RSS feed – no more ugly pre-populated visuals. I especially love the Mailchimp integration. It’s great to have this much control over our content. Image is everything!” – @morganmariequinn Read the review “Must Have for Featured Image Based Themes & MailChimp Users. For several years my WordPress theme has used featured images at the head of all my posts. The problem is, then, when feeding my RSS feed to MailChimp, that featured image at the head of the post is lost. Sometimes the image is highly crucial to the post (not to mention more enjoyable), so this plugin is a life saver. A must have!” – @ericdye Read the review “It just works – lovely! Great with MailChimp. I installed this plugin, changed the (very simple) settings and the featured images started appearing in my MailChimp campaigns straight away – perfect!” – @barn2media Read the review We promise you’ll love the features this plugin provides for your content marketing automation!

Content Refresher automatically identifies blog posts that have become stale and uses AI to generate updated drafts. You stay in full control: nothing is published without your explicit approval. How it works Scan – The plugin checks your posts daily and selects those older than your configured threshold (e.g. 6 months). Refresh – Each selected post is sent to the Content Refresher API, which uses real-time data and AI to generate a refreshed version. Verify – The new draft appears in the plugin’s Verification Queue. You review and approve (or reject) each one. Publish – Only approved drafts are applied to your post. You are always in control. Who is it for? SaaS companies with content-heavy blogs that need to stay current Digital agencies managing multiple client WordPress sites In-house SEO & content teams looking to automate content maintenance at scale Key Features AI-generated content refresh drafts (powered by Google Gemini via the Content Refresher API) Human-in-the-loop approval workflow — nothing goes live without your OK Free trial token on installation — test the plugin risk-free with one complimentary refresh, no credit card required Post Scope Selector — refresh all posts, filter by category or tag, or pick specific posts manually Configurable post age threshold, daily limit, and cooldown period Supports both Publish Date and Modified Date for staleness detection Credit-based system — buy only what you need, credits never expire Domain-limited licenses for security External Services This plugin connects to the following external services: 1. Content Refresher API The plugin sends data to the Content Refresher API to analyze and generate refreshed content drafts. Data sent and when: Your WordPress site domain (sent on every settings page load to verify the license and sync credits) Your license key (for authentication) The post title, post content, and focus keyword of the post being refreshed (only when a content refresh is triggered — manually or via scheduled cron) This data is used solely to authenticate your license, track credit usage, and generate a refreshed content draft using Google Gemini AI. Post content is not stored permanently after the response is returned.
