Description
What the plugin provides
– Custom Post Type socranext_post for AI-optimized articles (default URL slug artikelen-sn, configurable via the SocraNext platform).
– Custom Taxonomy socranext (hierarchical) for categorizing those articles.
– Template-based rendering for single/archive article views (plugin templates via template_include).
– Admin screens under SocraNext (Overview, Articles, Categories). FAQ management is handled via the SocraNext platform.
– Cache flush on (de)activation to correctly register permalinks.
Display
The plugin renders views via bundled templates for:
– Single SocraNext articles and archive list.
Structured Data
– The FAQ display includes FAQPage JSON-LD to help search engines and AI systems better understand the Q&As.
– SocraNext articles output their own SEO title, meta description, Open Graph tags and Article JSON-LD (independent of third-party SEO plugins; mirrored into Yoast / AIOSEO / Rank Math when present).
REST API (for platform integration)
Under the namespace socranext/v1, routes include:
– GET /pages and GET /pages/{id} – list site pages (for adding/showing FAQ widgets).
– POST /toggle – enable/disable the FAQ widget per page.
– POST /store-aio-information and GET /aio-information/{page_id} – store/retrieve per-page FAQ data.
– POST /blog and POST /store-blog-custom – create articles and store global custom HTML/CSS/JS for article display.
– POST /collection-slugs – sync the configurable articles URL slug from the SocraNext platform (rewrite flush + cache purge).
– GET /articles-list-custom – retrieve configuration for list views.
– POST /llmstxt and GET /llmstxt – publish and read llms.txt / llms-full.txt content from the SocraNext platform; served at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt on the site.
Note: without an account/connection to app.socranext.ai, the auto-generation routes are typically not used, but the created post types, taxonomy, and pages remain available for display.
Privacy & external services
– The plugin does not call external APIs on its own; the integration is typically initiated by the SocraNext platform to your website.
– Websites: product site https://socranext.ai and platform https://app.socranext.ai.
