WP Ideogram AI Generator is a WordPress plugin that brings Ideogram AI's image generation models directly into the WordPress admin panel. From a post's edit screen, site owners can generate, preview, save, and attach AI-created images without leaving WordPress. The plugin can auto-set the generated image as the post's featured image and, through a Yoast SEO integration, automatically populate the Open Graph and Twitter image fields for social sharing. It also creates optimized variants for web, Facebook, and Instagram from a single prompt, with controls for resolution, margins, overlays, logos, and text styling. It works with both the Gutenberg block editor and the Classic Editor, supports all public custom post types, and stores generated images locally in the WordPress Media Library rather than an external service. The plugin is released under the GPL v2 (or later) license, is fully translatable via standard WordPress localization tools, and is explicitly stated to be an independent, unofficial integration — "not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Ideogram."
