    WordPress AI plugin adds post audio and image credential experiments

    The WordPress AI plugin 1.5.0 release on October 30 adds optional experiments that generate speech audio for a post and read C2PA Content Credentials in uploaded JPEG, PNG and WebP images. It also adds MCP Access and WebMCP experiments for agent interaction with the editor, plus translation and revision-summary updates. These are opt-in experiments rather than default WordPress core features. AI features require the AI Connector and a separately billed model provider account; site owners should review each experiment before enabling it.
