Where settings live

In your WordPress admin: ReplyMind — a top-level sidebar item just below Comments. Five tabs switch instantly without a page reload: Settings, Reply Rules, Analytics, Logs, and Batch Process. This page documents the Settings tab, which has two sections: Core Settings and Advanced Settings. Hover the ⓘ icon next to any advanced option for an inline explanation.

AI provider credentials

ReplyMind 1.1+ does not use a plugin-stored API key; the field is hidden whenever the AI Client is active (a legacy replymind_api_key option is kept only for backward compatibility). Credentials are managed by WordPress core under Settings → Connectors and used through the built-in AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt(), WordPress 7.0+). Configure a provider there once and every AI-aware plugin on the site, including ReplyMind, uses it. The Core Settings panel shows whether the AI Client was detected.

---

AI Provider

Which provider the AI Client should route ReplyMind's requests to. The provider must also be configured in Settings → Connectors.

Internally claude maps to core's anthropic provider and gemini to google. If the selected model's prefix doesn't match the provider, the plugin shows a mismatch warning on the Settings screen.

---

Model

Which model to call within the selected provider. The dropdown filters automatically based on Provider.

OpenAI models

Anthropic Claude models

Google Gemini models

---

Enable Plugin

A single checkbox. When unchecked the plugin still loads but does not generate replies for new comments. Default: unchecked.

---

Reply Mode

Controls what happens after a draft is generated.

In suggestion mode the AI Reply column shows Draft Ready with an inline preview. In auto mode it shows Published.

---

Reply Tone

6 options. Sets the tone instruction sent to the AI. Can be overridden per post, by a Reply Rule, or by Sentiment detection.

---

Response Length

3 options. Controls the AI's length instruction.

---

Reply Language

11 options. Controls what language the AI replies in.

---

System Prompt

Free-form textarea. Included with every AI generation as the system message.

The system prompt is combined with the tone instruction, response length instruction, language instruction, post context, any per-post or rule-appended instructions, and the prompt-injection guard before being sent to the AI.

---

Advanced Settings

Everything below is optional and off by default. Each option has its own page:

Advanced settings are stored in the replymind_pro_settings option. Reply Rules and the Analytics dashboard have their own tabs. Per-post settings live in the post editor meta box. Multisite options are under Network Admin.

---

Hidden constants and filters

Some behaviour isn't exposed in the UI but can be changed in code:

Daily reply cap

add_filter( 'replymind_daily_limit', fn() => 500 );
// Set to 0 to disable the cap entirely.

Skip specific comments

add_filter( 'replymind_send_comment_data', function ( $allow, $comment ) {
    if ( /* your condition */ ) {
        return false;
    }
    return $allow;
}, 10, 2 );

See Developer reference for the full list of filters and hooks.
