ZimmWriter Image Prompts

by Matt Zimmerman

Updated November 12, 2024

ZimmWriter has a few places where you can set an image prompt.

Setting Image Prompts in the ZimmWriter Options Menu

The first place is by clicking the “Set AI Image Prompt” button in the main ZimmWriter options menu.

It will bring up a menu that looks like this:

The menu above lets you view the default prompt that ZimmWriter feeds into the AI to generate an image prompt. You can also select a “Default Override” setting from the dropdown to globally override the default prompt with a new one.

The dropdowns also include any WordPress sites you’ve added. ZimmWriter allows you to specify a prompt tied to each of your WordPress sites. For example, you might have a site about dogs and another about skincare. The prompts for each would likely differ. You can set each respective prompt in this area.

Whenever you start a writing job in ZimmWriter and select a specific WordPress site as the destination, it’ll use the prompt tied to that site.

Setting Image Prompts in the ZimmWriter Bulk / SEO / Penny Arcade Menus

Inside of Zimmwriter’s writing menus, you can also find additional ways to define and load image prompts using the [P] button.

The Featured Image dropdown has a P menu, and the Subheading Image dropdown also has a P menu.

Here’s what it looks like when you click one of the [P] option buttons.

Each of these is a separate database to store any featured image prompts you’d like and any subheading image prompts you’d like.

Remember, a prompt for a featured image needs a {title} placeholder inside the prompt itself, while a prompt for a subheading image needs both a {title} and {subheading} placeholder. You can read more about the placeholders in the sister guide to AI images.

You can also read about a secret {load_text} placeholder which is available when you use a special feature inside of the custom outline.

Final Tidbits

A final note I want to leave you with is the hierarchy. Here is the hierarchy in which ZimmWriter will use any image prompts you have created:

  • ZimmWriter first uses the Default prompt
  • Which is overridden by any “Default Override” prompt
  • Which is overridden by any WordPress site prompt
  • Which is overridden by any prompt you selected in the P menu

Make sense?
