Installation

1. Download or clone this repository into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

   git clone https://github.com/WP-Autoplugin/wp-banana.git

2. Activate WP Banana from the Plugins menu in WordPress.

3. Go to Settings → WP Banana and add your API key (OpenAI, Replicate, etc.).

4. Start generating and editing images right inside your WordPress dashboard.

For environments where you don’t want keys in the DB, you can define them in wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_BANANA_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'sk-...' );
define( 'WP_BANANA_GOOGLE_API_KEY', 'AIza...' );
define( 'WP_BANANA_REPLICATE_API_KEY', 'r8_...' );
define( 'WP_BANANA_FAL_API_KEY', '...' );

Constants (if present) take priority over saved settings.

Updates

WP Banana uses a customized version of the GitHub Updater library to enable seamless updates directly from GitHub. When a new release is published, you can update WP Banana just like any other plugin from the WordPress dashboard. You can disable these update checks if you prefer by adding the following line to your wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_BANANA_DISABLE_GITHUB_UPDATER', true );

Or use the filter in your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin:

add_filter( 'wp_banana_disable_github_updater', '__return_true' );

Usage Examples

Generate a New Image

1. Open the Media Library or the Media pop-up in the Post Editor.
2. Click Generate Image.
3. Enter your text prompt (e.g. "banana-shaped rocket flying through space in retro 90s neon style").
4. Click Generate Image to create the image in a few seconds and save it to your Media Library.
5. Want variations? Use the preview button to queue 1–4 images at once, review them inline, and decide which ones to save or discard before they hit the Media Library.

Combine Images

1. Select one or more images from the Media Library.
2. Click Combine with AI.
3. Provide a text prompt to guide the transformation.
4. A new AI-generated composite image is created and saved.

2. Click Edit Image, then Edit with AI.
3. Describe changes (e.g. "remove background", "make it look like watercolor", "add subtle circuit board texture").
