WS Image Generator for Ideogram AI
Beschrijving
WS Image Generator for Ideogram AI creates images for your WordPress posts and pages using a managed integration with Ideogram.
It adds a metabox to public post types and a settings page to control model, aspect ratio, style, overlay options, and more.
Social-ready outputs: the plugin can automatically generate platform-optimized images for Facebook and Instagram, overlaying your site logo, post title, and domain.
If Yoast SEO is active, it also auto-populates Open Graph and Twitter image fields, improving your previews on social networks.
This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Ideogram. “Ideogram” is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here solely to describe compatibility.
The plugin connects to our service at wpideogramai.com which forwards your request to Ideogram and returns the generated image back to your site. See Privacy below.

Service & Limits (SaaS)
This plugin integrates with a remote service. The free tier allows up to 4 images per month per site. Higher quotas and newer models are available with paid plans handled on wpideogramai.com.
The plugin itself does not lock or disable features: when a quota is reached, it simply displays the service response (e.g., “limit reached”) without restricting WordPress functionality.
Security
- Webhook callbacks are validated (e.g., HMAC/signature) and only perform the minimal required actions.
- Administrative endpoints are protected via WordPress capabilities (e.g.,
current_user_can('manage_options')). - No sensitive data is exposed via public REST endpoints.

Privacy
This plugin connects to our relay service at wpideogramai.com, which forwards your request to the Ideogram API and returns the generated image to your site via REST. The plugin sends your text prompt and selected settings (e.g., model, dimensions) plus your site domain (used to issue/enforce a free license). Our service records license status and usage counters and may temporarily cache results to deliver them back to you. The final image is saved in your WordPress Media Library.
Ideogram’s API is used only indirectly via wpideogramai.com. No direct connection is made between your WordPress site and Ideogram’s servers.
By using the plugin you agree that your prompts and settings are transmitted to wpideogramai.com and to Ideogram solely for image generation. No payment data is sent from the plugin; any upgrades are handled on wpideogramai.com. Review your and Ideogram’s privacy policies as needed.

Schermafbeeldingen
General Settings — (Optional) enter an API key, or skip it: on your first generation a free key is created automatically. From here you set defaults for model, aspect ratio, Magic Prompt, style, images per request, and text color. 
Site Image — Set the width and height (px) for the Featured Image the plugin generates for posts/pages. These dimensions are used when saving to the Media Library. (Social sizes are configured in the next tabs.) 
Facebook Image — Enable automatic Open Graph image generation for Facebook shares. Configure canvas width/height, background overlay opacity, add your brand logo from the Media Library, and fine-tune margins plus font sizes/positions for the domain label and post title. Each post gets a branded, share-ready image automatically. 
Instagram Image — Enable automatic portrait images for Instagram (default 1080×1350). Configure canvas width/height, background overlay opacity, pick a logo from the Media Library, and fine-tune margins. Control font sizes/positions for the domain watermark and post title so each post gets an Instagram-ready visual automatically. 
SEO Integrations (Yoast) — One-click toggle to enable Yoast SEO integration. When on, the plugin automatically assigns your generated Open Graph image (Facebook/LinkedIn preview) to Yoast’s social metadata for each post. More SEO plugin integrations coming soon. 
Post editor — WS Image Generator Status — Sidebar metabox that shows the active license, monthly quotas per model (V.2 Turbo, V.3 Turbo, V.3 Default), remaining available images, and the next reset/renewal date. Values update automatically after each generation. 
Post editor — Generate Ideogram Image — Per-post generator metabox. Choose Model, Aspect Ratio, Magic Prompt, and Style, write your prompt, then click Generate Image to create and attach the image to this post (settings here override the global defaults). If no API key was saved yet, a free key is created automatically on first generation. 
Post editor — Generation in progress — After clicking Generate Image, the request is queued and processed in the background. The button is disabled and a notice confirms the job has started; you can keep editing (no need to stay on the page). When finished, you’ll get a WordPress admin notification and the image is saved to the Media Library and attached to the post. 
Dashboard — Completion notice + Status widget — When a job finishes you get an admin notice with the post title and which variants were created (Site, Facebook, Instagram). The Status dashboard widget mirrors the per-post status: current license, monthly/available images for each model, and the next reset date. Values update automatically after each generation. 
Featured image — Auto-set — Once generation completes, the created image is automatically assigned as the post’s Featured image. It’s saved in the Media Library and attached to the post; click the thumbnail to edit or replace it anytime. 
Yoast social preview — Auto-assigned social image — If Facebook Image generation is enabled, the plugin creates a Facebook-optimized image (with your logo/title overlay if configured). When the SEO integration is on, that image is automatically set as the Yoast Social image (Open Graph), so shares on Facebook/X use it by default. The screenshot shows the auto-assigned image in Yoast’s preview. 
Sample Facebook image — Title & branding overlay — Example of the 1200×628 banner the plugin generates for Facebook: post title, optional site logo, and domain applied over the AI image. Saved to the Media Library and, with SEO integration enabled, auto-used as the Open Graph image. 
Sample Instagram image — Portrait overlay — Example of the 1080×1350 asset generated for Instagram: post title, optional site logo, and domain applied over the AI image. Size, margins, and overlay opacity are configurable under Settings Instagram Image. Saved to the Media Library and, if SEO integration is enabled, auto-selected for social sharing.
