Connects WordPress to a self-hosted ComfyUI server for on-demand image generation.

== Description ==

**LinuxMaster Image Generator for ComfyUI** allows you to seamlessly integrate a self-hosted ComfyUI server with your WordPress website, enabling users to generate images directly from the front-end or back-end using defined workflows.

### 🌟 Features

* **Remote Generation:** Send prompts and parameters from WordPress to your remote ComfyUI server.
* **Workflow Integration:** Utilizes a pre-defined ComfyUI workflow (configured via JSON) for consistent results.
* **Shortcode Integration:** Easily embed the image generation interface anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode.

### ⚙️ Setup and Configuration

1.  **ComfyUI Server Setup:** Ensure your ComfyUI server is running and accessible via a secure, public URL. You will need the API endpoint.
2.  **Workflow Preparation:**
    * Create or load your desired workflow in the ComfyUI interface.
    * The node intended for the main text prompt **must be renamed to 1** (one) for the plugin to correctly inject the user's positive prompt.
    * Export the workflow as a JSON file for configuration within the plugin settings.
3.  **Plugin Configuration:** Access the plugin settings page to input:
    * Your ComfyUI Server URL.
    * The necessary API key (if applicable).
    * The contents of your prepared workflow JSON.

### 💻 Usage

To display the image generation form on any post or page, simply use the following shortcode:

`[COMFYUI_GENERATOR]`

Users will input their desired prompt, and the request will be sent to your ComfyUI server based on the configured workflow.

### ⚠️ Plugin Technical Requirements

This plugin requires specific server configurations for the external ComfyUI server to function properly. This is not for a shared hosting environment.

* **Server OS:** **UBUNTU 22.04 LTS** (or newer) with **FULL ROOT/SSH ACCESS** is required for the self-hosted ComfyUI server.
* **SSL Certificate Path:** `sudo nano /etc/nginx/ssl/comfyui.crt` (or equivalent steps).
* **Workflow Setup:** RENAME POSITIVE PROMPT NODE TO `1` in the ComfyUI API JSON.
* **Browser Requirement:** Ensure your web browser is up-to-date and supports the necessary connection protocols for the plugin interface.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Q: Why do I need to rename the Positive Prompt node to '1'?**
A: This is a requirement of the plugin's API implementation to correctly identify and inject the user-provided prompt into your custom ComfyUI workflow JSON structure.

**Q: Where can I find my ComfyUI workflow JSON?**
A: In the ComfyUI web interface, right-click on the canvas and select "Save (API Format)". This JSON file contains the blueprint for your generation.
