Post Quality Manager
Post Quality Manager reviews your WordPress posts with AI and keeps the results in WP Admin: a score for every post, what to fix first, and the trend across your blog. The reviews run in your own n8n workflow with your own Anthropic API key, and a setup guide creates the workflow for you. Built for professional bloggers, in any niche.
Free and Pro
The free version includes Review and Key Takeaways, the Dashboard, Post Reviews and Insert into Post. Pro adds the Rewrite, Sources, SEO and Audit agents, per-agent settings, scheduled reviews and the Roles tab (pricing). Features marked (Pro) below are in Pro only.
Why this exists
As a blog grows, its back-catalog quietly ages: older posts drift out of date, quality varies from one article to the next, and manually re-reading everything doesn't scale. SEO plugins score keywords and metadata, but nothing tells you which posts need editorial attention, and why.
Post Quality Manager closes that gap by making content review a routine: on demand in the free version, on a schedule in Pro. Every post is scored on four universal pillars — Structure, Readability, Engagement, Credibility — the results are stored as history, and the dashboard shows at a glance where to act next. Niche tailoring lives in Blog Profiles, Editorial Standards and editable prompts, never in code, so the same plugin serves a marketing blog, a technical IT blog, or a lifestyle site equally well.
Vision: make automated quality control as standard for WordPress content as SEO plugins made keyword optimization — in any niche, with the blogger always in control of the criteria.
How it works
WP admin (dashboard button / WP-Cron) ──► n8n workflow ──► Claude agents
any chat tool (optional webhook) ──┘ (review / rewrite / takeaways /
▲ sources / seo / audit)
│ │
└── stores reviews ◄── WordPress REST API (this plugin)
The free version runs Review and Key Takeaways when you ask; Rewrite, Sources, SEO, Audit and the WP-Cron schedule are Pro.
Features
- Dashboard and Post Reviews — your average score and its trend, the posts to fix next, and every post with its latest score, status and top edits; a Post Quality box on the post edit screen shows the post's review
- Guided n8n setup — the setup guide connects to your n8n with an n8n API key and creates the workflow and its credentials for you, or walks you through importing the workflow file by hand. When a plugin update needs a newer workflow, the n8n Workflow page says so and offers Update workflow (or the re-import steps for a workflow set up by hand)
- Claude model choice — pick the model globally (the current Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, the default, and Haiku 5.5; the earlier Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5; or any custom model ID) and (Pro) override it per agent; the plugin sends each model only the parameters it supports, so switching models never breaks a request
- Blog profiles and Editorial Standards — choose a Blog Profile (Marketing, Technical/IT, Lifestyle, Food & Recipes, Travel, Health & Wellness) for the Website Context and a tone preset (Professional, Casual, Direct) for the Editorial Standards every post follows (Review, and Rewrite on Pro); Settings → AI shows the exact text each agent sends to Claude, and Custom opens a text field for your own
- On-demand commands — run Review or Key Takeaways on a post from WP Admin, and (Pro) Rewrite, Sources, SEO or Audit
- Insert into Post — put the suggested Takeaways, or (Pro) Sources, into the post with one confirmed click, as a plain list or (Pro) in a pattern you design in Appearance → Patterns; the previous version stays in Revisions
- Scheduled reviews (Pro) — run Review, SEO or Audit daily or weekly on a batch of posts, picking those whose last result scores below a threshold or is older than a set number of days
- Agent settings (Pro) — per-agent model, reasoning effort, temperature (where the model supports it), and custom instructions; changes apply on the next command with no workflow re-import
- Roles tab (Pro) — choose what each role may do, custom roles included (Admin pages & capabilities)
Requirements
- WordPress 6.6+, PHP 8.1+
- Your own n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud) and an Anthropic API key. Both bill you directly; a review costs about 3 to 4 cents on the default model (
post-quality-manager/readme.txt, "What does it cost me in AI calls?")
- WordPress and n8n must reach each other over the network: the plugin calls the n8n webhook, and n8n calls back the site's REST API (results, rewrites). A local or password-protected site cannot be reached from n8n Cloud. Rewrite (Pro) also needs HTTPS (or a WordPress environment type of
local): it signs in with an Application Password, which WordPress core offers only there.
- Yoast SEO (optional — its metadata enriches the review payload, and while it is active the Post Reviews screen shows its SEO and readability scores in a Yoast SEO column)
