Some say the human-focused Internet is dying, drowned in six-fingered abominations, brain-rot videos, and robotic prose. Others believe that a bit of AI assistance can be a helpful time-saver that extends the skillset of overtaxed creators.
SlopStopper provides websites with an on-off toggle for AI content, allowing site owners to experiment with AI in way that gives users better disclosure of content sourcing and the ability to scrub slop from their user experience with the flick of a switch.
Plugin Features
- Visual toggle for generative content
- Supports multiple content types
- Administrative control panel
- Responsive design

Visual Toggle
SlopStopper adds a floating toggle switch on front end of your site. When clicked by a user, their localized display of the site will toggle between modes of showing or hiding your AI-generated content.
The switch is unobtrusive by default, becoming prominent when hovered over. The labels and position of the switch can be configured from the admin control panel in the settings section of your site』s backend.
Multiple Content Types
AI-generated content can be identified by image, post, page, or by a custom Gutenberg block type for sections of AI content within any post, page, or template.
AI Images
Compatible with all image formats!
SlopStopper adds an 「AI generated」 checkbox to the Details modal of every image in your Media Library. Checking the box will identify that image as being AI-generated.
When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, these images will be hidden behind a black overlay. Clicking the toggle to show AI content will remove the overlay, allowing the image to display.
Posts and Pages
SlopStopper adds a checkbox to the edit screen of every post and page. Checking the box will identify that post or page as being entirely AI-generated.
When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, the content of the page will be replaced by a notice that the content is AI generated. Clicking the toggle to show AI content will reveal the content of the post or page.
Other Content
SlopStopper adds a custom 「AI Generated Content」 block type that serves as a container for blocks containing any AI-generated sections within a post, page, or template. Any number of blocks can be placed within the 「AI Generated Content」 container.
When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, contained content will be hidden or replaced. Clicking the toggle will reveal the hidden content.
Admin Control Panel
SlopStopper adds an SlopStopper settings page under the Settings section of your WordPress backend. From here, you can set the position and labels of the toggle switch and an optional message to show when AI content has been hidden.
Responsive Design
SlopStopper uses responsive design techniques to adjust to displays on desktop and mobile devices.
User Preference Memory
SlopStopper remembers a user』s preference for showing or hiding the AI-generated content on your site, providing a consistent experience as the user navigates from page to page. The preference is saved to the user』s browser and is not accessible to the website owner or plugin developer.
Background Image Support
When an image is identified as AI-generated and used as a background image, the AI-generated image will be overlaid in black while the foregrounded content will not be affected unless also identified as AI-generated.
Custom Gutenberg Block
SlopStopper adds an 「AI Generated Content」 block to the Gutenberg editor. This block acts as a container for content in any blocks of AI content placed within it.
