AI link text, heading and summary suggestions
Optional drafts for vague links, missing headings and hard-to-read posts, from the AI provider you connected to WordPress. A person always chooses.
Updated for Lumtera 1.2.2 and Lumtera Pro 1.1.1.
Overview
AI writing help adds three optional buttons to the block editor's Lumtera Accessibility sidebar. Each has its own switch in the Writing help in the editor card under Lumtera → Settings → AI suggestions: Suggest better link text, Suggest headings and Draft a plain-language summary. All three are off by default. They use the AI provider connected under Settings → Connectors, through the AI Client built into WordPress 7.0 and later, and the card only offers the switches once a connected provider can write text.
Suggest link text appears on three kinds of link issue: vague text such as "click here", a web address used as link text, and the same text used for links to different pages. Up to three suggestions come back, best first. Use replaces the words of the link; the address stays the same. The same switches add Draft with AI to the fix dialog for link text and heading issues, which fills in the proposed text for you to edit before you apply the fix.
Suggest heading appears on bold text that looks like a heading. It shows the text As it is plus Rewritten versions, and a button such as Use as H3 turns the paragraph into a heading. On long content with no subheadings, Suggest subheadings proposes H2 headings, each placed before a named paragraph, and Insert H2 adds them one at a time. When a post reads above grade 9, Draft a plain-language summary appears under Reading level. You edit the draft in the panel, then choose Add at the top or Add at the top, collapsed, and it goes in a Plain-language summary block.
Why does it matter?
Knowing that "click here" is vague, or that a long post needs subheadings, is the easy part. Finding better words on a deadline is where fixes stall — and a draft to react to is faster than a blank field.
What do you get?
- Suggest link text for vague links, web addresses used as link text, and links that share text with links elsewhere.
- Suggest a heading for bold text that works as one, or subheadings for long content that has none.
- Draft a plain-language summary when a post reads above the target grade, added as a Plain-language summary block.
- In the fix dialog, Draft with AI proposes new link text or heading text for you to edit before you apply the fix.
- Each feature has its own switch, and each click is one request to your provider. Suggestions are drafts until a person chooses one.
How does it work?
-
Connect a provider in WordPress
Use Settings → Connectors, then turn on the suggestions you want under Lumtera → Settings → AI suggestions.
-
Ask for a suggestion
On a matching issue in the editor sidebar, ask for link text or a heading; a plain-language summary is offered under Reading level.
-
Choose, edit, save
Using a suggestion is an ordinary edit you can undo.
Who is it for?
-
Writers cleaning up links
Posts full of "read more" and pasted web addresses get specific link text in a few clicks. The author still picks the words, or writes better ones.
-
Long guides and documentation
Suggest subheadings shows where new sections begin in a long stretch of text, so screen reader users can jump between them and everyone else can scan the page.
-
Public-sector and health content
A short plain-language summary at the top of a dense page gives readers the main points first, which is what WCAG 3.1.5 Reading Level (AAA) asks for. The author checks every statement before adding it.
Good to know
How it behaves, what it needs, and where its limits are.
- What is sent for link text
- The link text, where the link points as site and page path only, the sentence and paragraph around it, the post title and, for a public page on your site, the linked page's title. Query strings, # fragments, email addresses and phone numbers are never sent.
- What is sent for headings and summaries
- Suggest heading sends the bold line, the text after it, the heading before it and the post title. Suggest subheadings sends the post title and the text of the paragraphs, lists and quotes. A summary sends the post title and the visible text of the post, up to about 3,000 words.
- Only on a click
- Only people who can edit the post can ask for a suggestion, and nothing is sent in the background or for visitors. Using a suggestion is an ordinary edit with an Undo button in the notice that follows. Nothing is saved until you save the post, or apply the fix in the fix dialog.
- What the model is asked to do
- Follow the WCAG criterion behind the issue, use only facts from the text it is given, and write in the language of the page. Link text must never be "click here", "read more" or a web address. A summary must add no facts, advice or opinions of its own.
- Limits
- Each person can make 30 AI requests in 10 minutes, across all AI features including alt text; developers can change that with the lumtera_ai_rate_limit filter. Summaries need at least 100 words and are not offered on pages built with a page builder. Subheadings need at least three paragraphs of text.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Contact support
Is my content sent anywhere?
Only when someone clicks for a suggestion, and only to the AI provider the site owner connected. Lumtera stores no API keys and runs no servers.
Does it work in the classic editor or Elementor?
No. The writing buttons are part of the block editor's Lumtera Accessibility sidebar and the fix dialog, which also opens from the Content report. Every check still runs in the classic editor and in Elementor, without AI help.
Does it cost anything?
Lumtera charges nothing for it. Your AI provider may bill for the requests under its own pricing; each click on a Suggest or Draft button sends one request.
Is text from these suggestions marked as AI-assisted?
In the fix dialog, an AI draft is labelled "AI-drafted — review before applying" until you apply it. Once used, link text, a heading or a summary is an ordinary edit and shows in the post's revisions like any other change.
