📝 Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an API key to use WPSummarize?
Yes, you need an API key from OpenAI (Free & Pro), Google Gemini (Pro only), or Anthropic Claude (Pro only). You’ll be billed directly by your AI provider based on usage—typically around $0.001 per summary.
Will WPSummarize slow down my website?
No. Summaries are generated in the background and stored in your database. They load as fast as regular content.
Can I edit the AI-generated summaries?
Yes, with the Pro version. The free version displays AI-generated summaries but doesn’t allow editing.
Does it work with page builders like Elementor?
Yes! WPSummarize works with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, Beaver Builder, and all major page builders.
Is it compatible with multilingual sites?
Yes, WPSummarize is fully compatible with WPML and PolyLang. Each language translation can have its own summary in the appropriate language.
What happens when I reach the 50 summary limit on the free version?
New summaries won’t be generated until the next month (resets on the 1st). Existing summaries continue to display normally. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited summaries.
Can I try Pro before buying?
Yes! Pro includes a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Test all features risk-free.
