When using the AI Assistants (Prayer, Blog Coach, Reflection Journal), the text you write is securely transmitted to an AI text-generation service to generate contextual writing suggestions. The plugin supports two possible configurations: User-provided API Key (Default Behavior) Requests are sent directly from your WordPress site to the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service or the OpenAI API endpoint you specify. The text you write (your prompts and assistant replies) is transmitted over HTTPS. No personal identifiers (such as your name, email, or user ID) are sent unless you include them in your content. The AI-generated response is returned to your WordPress site and encrypted locally before saving. The encryption key is stored securely in your WordPress user profile and never leaves your site. Optional Hosted Model (if enabled) If you enable EnigTech’s optional hosted AI models, API requests are routed through EnigTech’s secure proxy endpoint to simplify setup. The proxy only relays text and model parameters; it does not store, log, or analyze any user data. All generated content is stored locally as a post on your WordPress site, under your full control. You can edit or delete your content at any time. LucidPen never shares, republishes, or analyzes user data. External Services LucidPen connects to the following external APIs to provide AI-assisted writing functionality: 1. Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service Purpose: Generates AI-assisted writing suggestions and responses. Data Sent: Text entered by the user in the left panel (Prayer Guide or AI Interviewer) and AI-generated intermediate content.

Machete is a simple suite of tools that solves common WordPress annoyances using as few resources as possible. Machete doesn’t cover every single use case, but there is a huge amount of sites that would require less plugins if they used Machete. All Machete tools have two things in common: they solve problems faced by many web developers and they do it using as few server resources as possible. So far, Machete includes the following tools: WordPress Optimization WordPress places a lot of code inside the tag just to keep backward compatibility or to enable optional features. You can disable most of it and save some time from each page request while making your installation safer. Cookies & GDPR Warning We know you hate cookie warning bars. Well, this is the least hateable cookie bar you’ll find. It is really light, doesn’t affect your PageSpeed score and plays well with static cache plugins. Analytics and custom code You don’t need a zillion plugins to perform easy tasks like inserting a verification meta tag (Google Search Console, Bing, Pinterest), a json-ld snippet or a custom stylesheet (Google Fonts, Print Styles, accessibility tweaks…). The Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager tracking codes are PageSpeed optimized, GPDR friendly. Maintenance mode The maintenance mode that ships with WordPress is just a basic lock-down that is activated whenever you do a major update. With machete Maintenance Mode you can hide your unfinished page from visitors and search engines, give your clients a secure temporary access and lock your site without affecting your SEO. Post & Page cloner Adds a “duplicate” link to post, page and most post types lists. Also adds “copy to new draft” function to the post editor. Social Sharing Buttons Social sharing done the Machete way. The icons are made as a custom webfont embedded in a minified CSS file that only weighs 5.8KB. The sharing actions use each platform’s native share URL. WooCommerce Utils WooCommerce was designed to work for every possible use case, but that often leads to unexpected behavior. These simple fixes can improve the WooCommerce user experience by making it behave as clients expect.
