Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common setup, generation and publishing questions.
How often are articles generated?
Your content plan schedules one article topic per day, up to 30 days ahead. With "Daily article autogeneration" switched on in Content Plan, Rank Tim writes that day's article automatically every morning at 07:00 UTC (up to 5 articles per account per day). With it switched off, nothing is generated until you open a day in the calendar and click "Generate Full Article".
How many articles can I generate, and when does the limit reset?
Each full article uses one generation from your monthly allowance: Starter 3, Content Plus 30, Pro 30, Growth 35 and Enterprise 100 articles per month. The allowance resets on the 1st of every month (UTC). If it runs out, the scheduled article stays in your calendar and you can generate it manually once you have generations again or after upgrading.
Can I publish as a draft first?
Yes. Every integration has a Post Mode: "Publish Directly" or "Save as Draft". You choose it when you create the integration in Settings → Integrations, and for WordPress you can change it later in the Rank Tim plugin settings. With "Save as Draft", articles arrive in your CMS as drafts so you can check them before they go live.
Can I edit an article before it is published?
Yes. Open the article from Content Plan and click "Edit in Studio". You can edit the text inline, replace the cover and body images with your own, let AI rewrite or expand a paragraph (10 AI edits per article) and restore any earlier version. Click Save to keep your changes — the saved version is what your integrations receive.
Where is my API key?
Go to Settings → Integrations and click "New Integration". Choose the type (WordPress plugin, Framer plugin or Custom), set the Post Mode and click "Generate Integration Key". The key starts with "or_" and is shown only once, so copy it straight into your plugin or app.
I lost my key or it stopped working. What now?
A key can't be displayed again. On the integration card in Settings → Integrations, click "Rotate Key" to get a new one — the old key stops working immediately, so paste the new one into your plugin. "Revoke" disables the integration permanently. If the plugin says "Unauthorized", check that the key starts with "or_" and has no extra spaces.
Why don't any articles appear on my site?
Integrations only receive articles that are scheduled for today and already generated (status "Ready" in Content Plan). Check that daily autogeneration is on or that you generated the article manually, that you still have generations left this month, and use "Test Connection" in the plugin to confirm the key works.
What does "Mark as reviewed" do?
Articles are labelled as AI-generated, as the EU AI Act requires. Once you have read and checked an article, click "Mark as reviewed" to take editorial responsibility for it — copies published or exported afterwards no longer carry the AI disclosure. You can withdraw the review at any time.
