Summary
If you are using Content Helper AI features and running a wp-parsely version below 3.14, AI features will stop working on June 3 2024. To remediate this, an upgrade to Parse.ly plugin version 3.14 or newer will be needed. All the non-AI features of the plugin will keep working as expected.
Who is affected by this change
Customers who have enrolled to use Content Helper AI features (such as Title Suggestions, Smart Linking, Excerpt Generator) and are running a version of wp-parsely lower than 3.14, whether as part of vip-go-mu-plugins or as a self-managed installation.
What is causing this change
Parse.ly plugin versions below 3.14 use a legacy version of the Parse.ly AI infrastructure that was deployed during the initial testing phases of our AI tooling. The legacy infrastructure is incompatible with the new infrastructure (which is receiving regular updates and improvements) used in wp-parsely version 3.14 and newer. The old infrastructure is being decommissioned on June 3 2024. As such, any implementations that are based on it will become inoperable.
How to fix this
If you are affected, the Parse.ly plugin will need to be updated to version 3.14 or newer to make AI features work again. We always recommend using the latest wp-parsely version provided by vip-go-mu-plugins.
