Employment Type: CONTRACTOR

Job Description

Job Description:

We need an experienced WordPress developer to debug and improve a custom plugin that fetches data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) API, processes it, and then uses OpenAI’s GPT API to generate content for our website. Currently, the plugin is failing to generate and display GPT-generated content, and admin panel settings (such as the "Custom Image Generation Prompt") are not saving correctly.

Key Issues to Fix:

GPT API Content Generation Failure

Ensure API requests retrieve data correctly from FRED and send a properly formatted request to OpenAI’s GPT API.

Debug server-side PHP errors and client-side JavaScript issues causing failures.

Validate API responses and handle errors properly.

WordPress Admin Panel Settings Not Saving

The “Custom Image Generation Prompt” field does not save user input.

Identify and fix WordPress settings storage issues in the plugin.

AJAX Request Debugging

Fix 500 (Internal Server Error) and 400 (Bad Request) responses from admin-ajax.php.

Verify if nonce verification, request formatting, or permission issues are causing failures.

Debugging & Testing Expectations

Provide detailed debugging logs and reports on identified issues and fixes.

Ensure plugin compatibility with latest WordPress version and PHP 8+.

Test in a staging environment before deployment.

Ideal Candidate Should Have:

✅ Strong experience in WordPress plugin development (custom plugins)

✅ Proficiency in PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, and WordPress hooks/actions

✅ Experience with FRED API & OpenAI GPT API integrations

✅ Knowledge of WordPress admin settings handling & database storage

✅ Ability to debug server-side and client-side errors

✅ Familiarity with API authentication, nonce verification, and security best practices

Deliverables:

Fully functional WordPress plugin with working FRED API → GPT content generation

Properly saving and retrieving WordPress admin panel settings

Clean, well-documented code and a short report summarizing fixes

Bonus: If you can suggest improvements to optimize API calls, caching, or plugin performance, we’d love to hear your ideas!

Budget & Timeline:

Budget: Open to quotes based on experience & turnaround time.

Timeline: Need the fixes completed ASAP (within 5-7 days preferred).

How to Apply:

Please include:

Examples of past WordPress plugin development work.

Experience with OpenAI API & FRED API (if any).

Your proposed approach to debugging and fixing these issues.

Estimated timeline and cost.

Looking forward to working with a proactive, detail-oriented developer to get this fixed!
