Draft generation, AI recommendations, and security fixes in ClassifAI 3.4.0

ClassifAI 3.4.0 adds draft content generation, AI-powered recommendations, WooCommerce writing support, newer models, bug fixes, and security updates.

ClassifAI 3.4.0 makes AI-assisted publishing more practical for day-to-day editorial work, led by a new content generation feature that can turn a short summary into an initial draft. This release also adds an AI-powered Recommended Content block, expands WooCommerce support, updates several AI models, and includes security and reliability fixes.

Important upgrade note: ClassifAI now requires WordPress 6.7 or newer, and this release is tested up to WordPress 6.8.

Feature highlights

  • Draft content generation — Start with a summary of what you want to publish and generate a draft using supported providers including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Ollama.
  • Recommended Content block — Add a block that suggests related content using OpenAI embeddings, giving readers a more useful path to additional posts or pages.
  • Recommended Content defaults — Configure global default template settings so recommended content output is easier to keep consistent across your site.
  • New OpenAI image model — Generate images with support for OpenAI’s newer gpt-image-1 model.
  • WooCommerce writing support — Generate product-focused titles and excerpts using details such as product type, SKU, categories, attributes, pricing, stock status, and descriptions.
  • Manual image processing mode — Choose whether image processing features run automatically on upload or only when someone manually requests them.
  • New transcription models — Select OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini Transcribe or GPT-4o Transcribe models for audio transcription workflows.
  • New text-to-speech model — Use OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini TTS model, which is now the default for the Text to Speech feature.

Other improvements and fixes

  • Google AI model update — The Gemini provider now uses Gemini 2.5 Flash instead of the discontinued Gemini Pro model.
  • Editor polish — The Generate Titles modal has an updated layout, registration messaging has been refined, and admin notices are less intrusive.
  • Settings access — Feature settings remain accessible even when a feature is turned off.
  • Reliability fixes — The release addresses a fatal error when $post was null, PHP notices and warnings, Text-to-Speech post type availability, unnecessary embeddings notices, Gutenberg deprecation notices, and stale content being sent to title and excerpt generation.
  • Security updates — Several dependencies were updated for security, including tar-fs, react-router, http-proxy-middleware, and axios.

For developers

This release includes a few provider naming changes, new filters, and additional documentation for teams extending or auditing ClassifAI integrations.

  • OpenAI image provider rename — The DallE provider class is now Images, and related DALLE references have been updated.
  • OpenAI speech provider rename — The Whisper provider is now SpeechToText, so custom extensions that subclassed Whisper should update their references.
  • Google AI model filter — The new classifai_googleai_gemini_api_model filter makes it easier to override the Gemini model.
  • Speech to Text filters — The new classifai_openai_speech_to_text_model and classifai_openai_speech_to_text_api_url filters allow model and endpoint customization.
  • Text to Speech filters — The new classifai_openai_text_to_speech_model and classifai_openai_text_to_speech_api_url filters allow model and endpoint customization.
  • Developer documentation — New docs cover supported providers, which features each provider supports, how data is used, and initial data flow diagrams.
