WP-o-Matic. The Wordpress RSS Agreggator
WP-o-Matic makes autoblogging a snap by automatically creating posts from the RSS/Atom feeds you choose, which are organized into campaigns.

These are some screenshots from the admin view:
Features
WP-o-Matic aims to provide a very wide range of features. Currently, these are:
- Campaigs Feeds and all settings and options are now organized into campaigns for the perfect organization and comfort.
- Multiple feeds / categories: it’s possible to add as many feeds as you want, and add them to as many categories as you want. It’s not obstrusive, so you can also write your own posts to any of those categories.
- Every form of XML syndication supported. This includes RSS 0.91 and RSS 1.0 formats, the popular RSS 2.0 format, and the emerging Atom.
- Feed autodiscovery, which lets you add feeds without even knowing the exact URL. (Thanks Simplepie!)
- Unix cron and Wordpress cron jobs For maximum performance, you can make the RSS fetching process be called by a Unix cron job, or simply let Wordpress handle it.
- Comfortable interface. The admin is powered by a state of the art ajaxy interface that lets you handle your feeds with ease. Updated!
- Images caching for extreme performance and hotlinking bypassing.
- Words Rewriting. Want to replace the word “Poker” with “Texas Holdem”? We have it covered. Want to use regular expressions? We have it covered.
- Words Relinking. Define custom links for words you specify.
- Post templating. Define a global header and footer for the posts, or even for a specific feed. Add ads
- Campaigns import/export using OPML files. Easily import hundreds of feeds into new or existing campaigns!
Upcoming features
- Improved export (to include campaign options, with an extended OPML)
- Image thumbnailing
- Improved importing with drag and drop
- Advanced templates
- Advanced filters

Known bugs
- No Internet Explorer in RC1
- Missing help files
FAQ
How do I link to the original site/article?
Use the post template feature (example: {content} <p><a href={permalink}>Link to the original site</a></p>)
Why isn’t the full article showing?
Because the site is only syndicating excerpts, not full content
Download
Click here to download WP-o-Matic 1.0RC3.
As this is a release candidate, bugs still can be expected. Note: every time WP-o-Matic is deactivated, tables are removed. This will only happen with RC releases.
WP-o-Matic is released under the MIT license.
Installation Instructions
Unzip wp-o-matic.zip in wp-content/plugins/ and enable it. A message will warn you to verify SimplePie is compatible with your setup. Follow the link in the box to do so.
Upgrading
Once WP-o-Matic reaches 1.0Stable, you’ll be able to update without rewriting tables. For now, uninstall any previous version of WP-o-Matic (make sure tables go away) and install the latest version.
Credits
WP-o-Matic makes use of the wonderful Simplepie library for the feeds parsing. Without Simplepie it’d be virtually impossible to provide reliable support for a variety of feed types and versions.

Thanks for the update, but when I go to activate the plugin, I recieve a message saying “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.” I have wordpress 2.2
downloaded.
thanks for this great plugin man!
@Terrell
Are you using Wordpress 2.2.2? What version are you using exactly?
Hi and thanks for the plugin.
I’m using Wordpress 2.2.2 and I have this message too : “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal errorâ€.
i got the same error as terrell. i use wp 2.2.2
Thanks you G:
Quick tested and many problem:
php4 wp2.2.2
“plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.â€
php5 wp2.2.2 can activate but:
Add campaign/categories no cageory show and can’t Quick add any.
Rewrite not show any form. and link not working.(popup windows say: Help file not found )
…
Same for me: “plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.â€
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.â€
Running WP 2.2.2
“php5 wp2.2.2 can activate but:
Add campaign/categories no cageory show and can’t Quick add any.
Rewrite not show any form. and link not working.(popup windows say: Help file not found )
…”
I have the same problem
We’re using WP 2.1.1 and got the following:
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
WordPress 2.2.2, PHP 5.2
I’ve installed, activated and everything seem to be working fine, but for a couple of issues:
1) At the plugin’s dashboard, I see the messsage:
——-
Your WP-o-Matic version is… up-to-date!
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/gbee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php:1348) in /home/gbee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 1349
2) No matter what I try, filtering with Regex always sends back the error message:
——-
I don’t know if this is with the plugin or something from my end. I simply unzipped and uploaded it. I swear I didn’t touch any file
2) No matter what I try, filtering by regex always cry foul with the message:
—–
The following errors have been encountered:
* Rewrites: There’s an error with the supplied RegEx expression
—–
I’m trying to strip out all linked tags that are appended to a one-sentence-ish feed I’m fetching for a personal WAP-only site. [I mean I want to strip out linked text, not just the hyperlink]. Any help on the proper regex to use would be most appreciated.
3) As some people have pointed out already, some of the help links don’t work. They turn out “file not found” errors.
I’m still playing with it, and will write back if I discover something else. Thanks for the great work.
Do I need to uninstall the earlier version before I upload the new one? I just uploaded over the old version and I see no difference so far.
- It seems there’s a PHP4-only fatal error I need to look into.
- There’s been a category bug carried from previous versions I need to look into
The missing help files is a known issue. I’m too lazy to write them all (for now)
Thanks for feedback
Is this working yet?
I’ve just updated it.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Keep it coming

I have the same problem
Just try to open the site with firefox, the problem fixed.
So anyone have the same problem, just try firefox.
Cheers
I forgot to mention that.
I can’t test with anything but Safari / Firefox lol
Whoa! I just ran the plugin and after putting in an RSS Feed and doing the fetch my Wordpress went haywire, and gave me about a hundred lines of stuff like this:
WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]
SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) LEFT JOIN wp_categories ON (wp_post2cat.category_id = wp_categories.cat_ID) WHERE 1=1 AND post_name = ‘5d30e_ads’ AND category_id IN (0) AND (post_type = ‘post’) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC
WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]
SELECT cat_ID, category_nicename, category_parent FROM wp_categories WHERE category_nicename = ‘cache’

thx for plugin….i install and activate it but when i go to wpomatic page i have empty page:((
@patrecord
WP version? PHP version?
PHP 4.3.2 or higher 4.4.7
XML Enabled Enabled
PCRE Enabled Enabled
cURL 7.10.5 or higher 7.12.1
Zlib Enabled Enabled
mbstring Enabled Disabled
iconv Enabled Disabled
sorry…wp 2.2.1
@patrecord
Are you using the very last version of WP-o-Matic (the updated RC1) ?
yes…. WP-o-Matic 1.0RC1.
@patrecord
Currently it is 1.0RC1-2, check the $version variable in wpomatic.php.
yes is this…..
var $version = ‘1.0RC1-2′;
thx
it’s working for me!!
Thanks Guillermo.
Maybe your host hides php errors? I need as much info as you can give me.
Please add this line to the top of wpomatic.php, right after
ini_set(’display_errors’, true);
And then F5.
nothing change….every empty page
I got a emty page to….
@Mattias, @patrecord
I wish I could help you but I can’t solve it by osmosis.
If you want, you can email me the ftp details (through the contact form), if you want Guillermo himself to try to find the problem.
thx to Guillermo:)
The ones getting a white page… it’s because of a i18n issue (meaning you’re using Wordpress in a language different from English)
I’m fixing it now thanks to @Mattias test server =D
Hi there!
Thanks for all your hard work.
You might want to take a look at the “use feed date” option; it doesn’t seem to be working for me.
@Who Am I
The ‘use feed date’ option is a little tricky. It still has to be tested because it’s hard to implement. For example, the feed has to include the GMT Timezone offset it’s in, and many feeds don’t do this.
If this happens, it might result in a post to be scheduled in the ‘future’… which is not a nice thing.
This feature will definitely be improved for the stable version, but it can’t work on all scenarios.
The new update seem to be working, thanks. I want to let you know that inside the dashboard under the “WP-O-Matic Version” title there is a message “WP-o-Matic Version
Your WP-o-Matic version is… up-to-date!
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/afinance/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php:1343) in /home/afinance/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 1344″
@Matias, @patrecord
Updated WP-o-Matic for you. Give it a shot.
I also am getting the same error as the guy above :s
@Zalaki
With RC1-3?
I tried to use a feed and got this error also:
Warning: uniqid() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in /home/*******/public_html/playstationlove/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 574
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in /home/******/public_html/playstationlove/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 580
and yes with latest version
@Zalaki
I fixed your latest error. Please paste the first one as well. Thanks!
First Error
this is right when you click in options Wp-o-matic

On my dashboard it says:
WP-o-Matic Version
Your WP-o-Matic version is… (timeout)
Also, when I make a new campaign it adds 7 hours to the next process for some reason.
So if I set the frequence to 15 minutes the dashboard when I go to the dashboard it says:
Next campaigns to process
1. 7h 15m 0s
And it counts down from there…
I’m using 1.0RC1-4 on wordpress 2.2.2 on dreamhost
Any ideas?
Thx
@James
Strange. Must have to do with GMT offsets in your server. Make sure the server time is correct, and that you set up the GMT offset in the Wordpress options page.
I’m not sure how to make sure the server time is correct but in wordpress options I made sure the the GMT was correct by matching the time to my current time and that had no effect.
Then I set the GMT to 0 and it worked. The frequency on the dashboard was correct showing 15 mins and then counting down.
However when I added a new campaign after that it added the 7 hours again.
How do I check my server’s time?
*by GMT I mean UTC
argh
Guillermo,
Thank you for all your hard work.
My latest error is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in /home/majac/public_html/babysbargaincenter/babyblog/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 580

My error is:

I’m getting the same error on installation:
WordPress database error: [Table 'philrjdb.wp_wpo_campaign' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM `wp_wpo_campaign` WHERE 1 = 1 AND (frequency + lastactive)
I installed the plugin, activated it, entered in a new ‘campaign’ used some random rss feed (i think it was uncrate) and my wordpress hung for a long time. Then the following errors started showing up. There are about a 100 lines more but here are just a few:

same above error since 1.0RC1-3.
php4, php5, wp2.2.2, wp2.3b1 all same.
what does a post look like when made by this plugin? Does it get filled with the entire contents of the rss feed?
Or does it make a post full of the links-to-the-posts in the rss feed’s posts?
hye, help me
WordPress database error: [Table 'asmuii_wrdp1.wp_wpo_campaign' doesn't exist]

most recent version… the simplepie test fails because the path to the test is wrong. The default plugin folder is named “wp-o-matic” and the path to the simplepie test is “/wpomatic/”.
only a minor bug (as you can just rename the plugins root folder) but easy to fix for the next release i suppose, so worth mentioning
the nice menu/tabs seems to not work anymore either, i just get a plain bulleted list
sorry, ignore my last comment, i had to flush my cache after renaming the plugin folder, sorry! keep up the good work
@bw
Thanks, you are right. Since I uploaded the plugin to Wordpress repository, the folder’s been called wp-o-matic instead of wpomatic, which was causing the issue.
is there a way that any imported images can be given a class name? just so i can float them left or right. and put a border on them or something.
Or will they just be coded the way they are in the original feed?
I changed the default folder from wp-o-matric to wpomatic and everything works great now!
All my database problems have been fixed.
[...] refer to WP-o-Matic main post to download the new version. No new features, only small bugfixes so [...]
I had some trouble when i click on : Please click here to make sure SimplePie, the feeds parsing library which empowers WP-o-Matic, works on your server. It gave me a 404 page not found. The same 404 problem when clicking on help and some other stuff.
So i went to ftp, and check the path, the correct path to Simplepie test page is : http://my-domain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/inc/simplepie/simplepie.tests.php when i follow this link i get a o.k on the the simple pie test.. The problem i found out is that from within the wordpress \ options \ WP-o-Matic, when i click where i am asked to check if the simplepie is working, it is sending me to this link : http://my-domain.com/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/inc/simplepie/simplepie.tests.php
you will note it is using the wrong wpomatic name, this is why it is causing the 404.
How can i fix this ?, or should i just rename the wp-o-matic folder to wpomatic,
Appreciate all the work that has been put into this project
Michael
@Phil
That should be fixed with the very latest version
@bw
You can use the custom post template feature for this or the RegEx rewrite.
If you choose the former option, make the template something like this:
[div class="sometypeofpost"]
{content}
[/div]
(of course replace [] with <>)
And then from css
div.sometypeofpost img {
float: right;
}
Forgot to mention that i am using the latest wp-o-matic version, downloaded half an hour before this post
O.K so now i have CHMOD the entire folder and everything in it to 0777, now things are stating to work, however when i click on Options i have the following warning: Image cache path /home/michaels/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache is not writable!
Where is the image cache it is refering to, as i mentioned i ChMOD the entire WP-O-matic folder and all folders and files to 777
Michael
@Michael
Make sure you’re using the latest version… it’s saying it’s not writable because it can’t find it either.
Guillermo i am using version 1.0RC1-6 is that the latest ? If not where is the link to the newer one
Michael
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-o-matic.zip
Make sure it’s not cached or anything
Guillermo i see in the CHANGELOG there is a versio0n 1.0RC1-7: path issue solved.
However the download link just below the DONATE button still point towards 1.0RC1-6
Michael
It might be cached in your computer. To me it’s 1.0RC1-7
O.K i have downloaded, i noticed there is a file wp-db outside of the wp–o-matic folder, where do i upload that to ? Plug ins folder ?
O.K confirm i now have 1.0RC1-7 showing in my plugins folder, just waiting to hear about wp-db location to upload
Michael
Nowhere… it’s a file added by Wordpress plugins system.
Guillermo, it was part of the download, i have in the zip file : folder wp-o-matic and file wp-db
Michael
Your WP-o-Matic version is… (timeout)
What does that mean?
Guillermo,
I am on version 1.0RC1-7, looks nice the layout is much better then before, however i still get this error when i click on Options.
Image cache path /home/michaels/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache is not writable!
There is definetely NO Image folder, not in the Wp-o-matic folder on the server or in the zip file i downloaded.
Michael
@OsiriX
For some reason your server is unable to access devthought.com version checker
@Michael
There shouldn’t be any images folder. Just make sure cache is 777
Guillermo, there is no wp-o-matic/ cache folder
Michael
Where is the cache folder
I created a folder called cache in the wp-o-matic folder and chmod it to 777, at least not the error from before is gone. I suggest to avoid headaches that you just place a empty cache folder in the download package.
Now i can start playing with the program
Thanks
Michael
In the dashboard, all the help links is giving a error 404 page. this is the link it is pointing to that gives a 404 http://my-ad-sense.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/help.php?item=logging
Guillermo, I created a campaign, filled in everything and hit submit, it opened up a blank page http://my-ad-sense.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wpomatic.php&s=add
I waited 5 minutes and then hit back key, campaign is gone !!
Michael
O.K, i think the reason before was, that i had to many feeds, so i tried with just one feed and it worked.
However when i wend to the campaign and clicked on fetch feed, it start working and then this error : Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3901281 bytes) in /home/michaels/public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap.php on line 1846
Not sure how the google site map is related to wp-o-matic, anyway the post is there. IT WORKS !!!!!!
This is bloody awesome man, GREAT job!!! Well done Guillermo
Guillermo
I have one more question before i stop for the day.
In the rewrite Orign, can i add a bunch of keywords here, one per line and then in the redirect specify a url where i want all these keywords to piont to ?
What is RegEx
Thanks this will be my last post for the day.
Ones again thanks for the great software
Michael
two biggest problems for me :
it pull and post more than one rss item from the feed , I have left it 15 min posted 100 items , can you please fix it to post one or a specify number of item each time it run ,
it also post duplicate item , one item posts it two or more time .
those was the biggest problems in the old wp-o-mtaic plugin
hope you can fix them for this new release .
thank you Guillermo for the great plugin
Hello, i solved my own problems… but now i have come across a new one.
When im setting up my campaign, i run into a problem with the post layout.
i use :
{feedtitle}
{title},{content}
Full story here
But wpomatic seems to add \ \ into the link which messes things up
{feedtitle}
{title},{content}
Full story here
any ideas?
Hello again!
I too have noticed that sometimes it posts duplicate entries. I’ve noticed this twice on one of the feeds I use, so I wasn’t sure what was causing it.
Another thing I noticed is that on wordpress feeds, certain characters are converted to their html codes, like with single quotes or even three dots “…”. Then when it fetches these posts, it the permalink is messed up because it’s putting these codes in the url.
Great update!
Having a problem, no categories show for me to select and can’t quick add under Add Campaign, so I can’t test the full app. Please let me know if there is a fix for this issue? thx
Forgot to mention that I am using Windows 2003 w/ PHP5 + MySQL 5.0.-45
I’m rather eager to get started with this plugin, good work, but….
I’ve been looking through some of the posts and it seems that you have to remove the dashes in the folder to get it working. I did this and got further than if they were already there (I got errors)
Now, I have enabled the plugin and navigated over to Options > wp-o-matic. As soon as I click this, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_enqueue_script() in /home/sites/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 867
I haven’t come acrooss any post with this error, is it only me? Has this error been addressed?
I’d very much appreciate any help…
@Jam
Are you using 1.0RC1-7 ? It shouldn’t be necessary to remove the dashes in the current version.
What WP version are you using?
@Ant Onaf
Read the limitations section. There’s no Internet Explorer support for now. Use Firefox
I download the one yesterday I think, has it been re-released?
I believe I am using version 2.0.4 - (it says that at the bottom of my admin panel)
@Jam
It’s been updated many times since yesterday.
I don’t think I’m gonna support 2.0.x time to update lol
Guillermo, thx that worked! Using Firefox I can now see the categories, but I now get a MySQL error when attempting to create a feed. — see database error — any hint what is wrong?

Any ideas??? thx
It seems my issues (above) with the MySQL errors were due to MySQL being ran in STRICT mode. I went into the my.ini file and uncommented the STRICT mode and now things seem to be working fine.
thx…
Ah, right…
Are there any more updates coming up - should I wait or just go ahead and install it now?
Sorry I meant I commented STRICT mode in my.ini file — bascially disabled it —
@anybody
Hi, couold anybody please help me with the post template. I am not sure where to change my default Wp-post template. Is it the one in themes \ single post, or should i only add to the the the tags ({feedtitle}
{title},{content}) in Wp-o-matic, under custom post template, and if so do i need to only add these tags and nothing else,
On the moment everything is working like a dream, but the only thing i would like to add, is the “Full Story Here”, but not sure how or where.
You can take a look at the Wp-o-matic content at http://super-e-store.com , this is a new blog i started this morning and all the content, post you see there were done by wp-o-matic
Appreciate anybodies help with the “read full post” issue
Thanks
Michael
@Guillermo Rauch
of course. I should have figured that out before i pestered you. thanks for your help.
Hi Guillermo.
It’s looking pretty slick, but not yet working for me.
I’m getting the error message when attempting to add my first campaign:
The following errors have been encountered:
* Options
o Author username not found
However, the author name is the default ‘admin’ (I’ve just started up a Wordpress installation to test this).
WordPress 2.2.1. PHP 4.3, PHP 5.1, PERL 5.0, PYTHON 2.4, RUBY 1.8.4, MYSQL 4.0.27, 4.1, 5.0
Also, the crontabs element is not explained. I downloaded Cronmonkey and manually changed as suggested by get an error “FAILURE. There were errors in the submitted file. The system crontab was not changed.”
Hopfully all on the way to getting this working! Thanks, Tim
@Michael
In the custom post template textarea put something like this
{content}
[a href="{permalink}"]Read the full story[/a]
(replacing [ ] with <>)
@Tim Watt
The error you’re mentioning is pretty strange. Can you try starting a new Wordpress installation with 2.2.2 ?
it pull and post more than one rss item from the feed , ,
it also post duplicate item , one item posts it two or more time .
will be great if we can make it to post one or a specify number of item each time it run ,
can you please solve this ?
thanks
@ayo
What rss feed is giving you trouble?
Hi
I followed the advise for the post tags, however i think i did something wrong.
were i suppose to put this in as well : (replacing [ ] with )
Have a look at http://www.super-e-store.com , you will see what i mean from the last post made
@Michael
(replacing [ ] with <>) meant you actually had to replace [ with < and ] with >, not include it in the textfield.
Guillermo :
Stupid me,….
yeah now i have about 120 post thats is wrong. Apart from manually editing each post, can i bulk edit them all, or is it best to delete them all.
Michael
Guillermo :
I notive that some of my post titles have the html tags like this [b]Find Friends[/b]
replace [ with (i am learning) :-0
Also, please tell me about the rewrite function. I have added a bunch of keywords and keyword phrases under Origin (i added it one per line )and then
Ant then i select relink to: and entered the url where i want them links.
However i checked all post and it dont seem to hyper link anything.
Most probably I did something wrong
Thanks
Michael
@Michael (1)
I agree, that was pretty stupid. Just kidding.
You can delete all the posts and then use the “Reset” option in the campaigns list, and then “Fetch” again.
HI,
I’ve used it with more rss feeds , with the same problem ,
it post more than one item , up to 100 post , and post duplicate
some times ,
to specify more : I set one feed to post in one category , so when
the plugin start fetch the feed it post more than one item to this
category in the same time and each time it run ,
how we can make it to post only one item ;
can you solve this please ?
thanks
Hi all,
For those of you who dont know what is the RegEx, in Rewrite under Orign.
I just did a G
:-) le search and this is one result
A regular expression, often called a pattern, is an expression that describes a set of strings. They are usually used to give a concise description of a set, without having to list all elements. For example, the set containing the three strings “Handel”, “Händel”, and “Haendel” can be described by the pattern H(ä|ae?)ndel (or alternatively, it is said that the pattern matches each of the three strings). In most formalisms, if there is any regex that matches a particular set then there is an infinite number of such expressions. Most formalisms provide the following operations to construct regular expressions.
Alternation
A vertical bar separates alternatives. For example, gray|grey can match “gray” or “grey”.
Grouping
Parentheses are used to define the scope and precedence of the operators (among other uses). For example, gray|grey and gr(a|e)y are equivalent patterns which both describe the set containing “gray” and “grey”.
Quantification
A quantifier after a token (such as a character) or group specifies how often that preceding element is allowed to occur. The most common quantifiers are ?, *, and +.
? The question mark indicates there is zero or one of the preceding element. For example, colou?r matches both “color” and “colour”.
* The asterisk indicates there are zero or more of the preceding element. For example, ab*c matches “ac”, “abc”, “abbc”, “abbbc”, and so on.
+ The plus sign indicates that there is one or more of the preceding element. For example, ab+c matches “abc”, “abbc”, “abbbc”, and so on, but not “ac”.
These constructions can be combined to form arbitrarily complex expressions, much like one can construct arithmetical expressions from numbers and the operations +, -, *, and /. For example, H(ae?|ä)ndel and H(a|ae|ä)ndel are both valid patterns which match the same strings as the earlier example, H(ä|ae?)ndel.
The precise syntax for regular expressions varies among tools and with context; more detail is given in the Syntax section.
You can read it in full here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
Now in short what i think and i could be wrong, but what it does is; if you enter a word phrase like pink bird, then it will apply the rewite or link to for the word bird pink as well as pink wird.
Guillermo : is that correct, or am i sitting the pot miss here
Michael
@ayo
First try to write properly, I have to read your comments 3 times to understand what you want to convey.
This plugin is supposed to fetch more than one item… I don’t know where you got the idea that it should fetch just one.
@Michael
Regular Expressions is a pretty complex subject. Basically it’ll allow you to create more flexible replacements.
Let’s say you want to replace the word pink OR the word blue with the word black. The regular expression would be:
/(pink|blue)/i
And lots of other stuff.
Unfortunately, multiple replacements (one word per line) are not supported, and are not going to be supported that way.
Guillermo
Spend some time deleting 150+ post because of my stupid error before.
Now i reposted and i noticed that the following is not working:
a href=â€{permalink}â€]Read the full story[/a]
(replacing [ ] with )
I get a error 404 page not found.
You can see for yourself at http://www.super-e-store.com
Michael
Question - I’m sure I’m missing something very simple here…
But where do you assign a particular feed or campaign to a custom template?
I’m assuming you just add the template you want to use to your theme… but I’m not sure where to tell wp-o-matic to use them?
Having said that….
GREAT JOB WITH THIS MAN!
OH and also…
The templating thing… up in the feature list it says:
“Define a global header and footer for the posts, or even for a specific feed. Add ads”
Is there a way to do this such that it add said header and footer to the post itself? So that the header and footer text would show up in the index page (or any page that had multiple posts in one pace) .
Basically I’d like to auto-magically add a bit of text giving credit to the original post to each post that is pulled from a given feed.
@Doug
Remember that the template feature of WP-o-Matic has nothing to do with themes or physical template files.
What you’re looking for is something like the source attribution link I suggested to Michael.
Read the other comments above to find out.
@Michael
“Spend some time deleting 150+ post because of my stupid error before.”
That was not necessary. In the Tools tab in the edit view of a campaign there’s a button to delete all posts linked to a campaign.
So the templating system in WP-o-Matic is setup as a re-write rule?
I’m just not seeing where to setup a template.
(and thanks for the attribution link tip I will find the comment you mentioned)
@Doug
No, it’s in the Options tab. It works like this.
WPO finds a new post in a feed. Takes the text and attempts to add it to Wordpress. Before doing so it’s parsed: the rewriting is done, and it’s put inside the post template defined in Options.
@Michael
The problem is with Wordpress attempting to filter the post content… It’s a bug I’ve discovered just now.
It’ll take the quote and translate it into the weird inversed quote Wordpress uses.
Guillermo
I tried a fresh installation and get the same error - maybe related to this warning on the WP-omatic dashbard:
WP-o-Matic Version
Your WP-o-Matic version is… up-to-date!
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/T/i/m/TimJWattMedia/html/pdtest/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/wpomatic.php:1336) in /home/content/T/i/m/TimJWattMedia/html/pdtest/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/wpomatic.php on line 1337
I cannot tell if this related to your previous comment since you aren’t clear…
Also, the Crontab thing atill is inexplicable.
Thanks, Tim
Sorry, meant to add that I don’t have the option of installing 2.2.2 on my server - currently 2.2.1
T
@Tim Watt
The headers issue should now be solved with 1.0RC1-8
About the cron, I’m not familiar with Cronmonkey. I just can tell you you need to create a cron job that triggers cron.php every 10-20 minutes, just like the Dashboard suggests.
Awesome thanks.
Just as I expected - it was hiding in plain sight.
When building the custom templates…
It’s only rebuilding the part of the post that WordPress considers “the_content” correct?
(does the “test” button in the tools section do anything yet? - if not I seem to have a bug as it isn’t.)
Guillermo
Thanks for showing me the easy way of deleting post. I am learning as i go along here.
Could you please reply to my post made at 10:52, which was basically
i noticed that the following is not working:
a href=â€{permalink}â€]Read the full story[/a]
(replacing [ ] with )
I get a error 404 page not found.

The custom template is escaping quotation marks (and seems to KEEP adding escape charcaters) … and this is making it hard to add CSS classes to divs I’m using in the custom template.
Does that make sense?
@Doug
As I said to Michael that’s a bug I’ve discovered. I’ll be fixing it shortly. Basically we need to skip WP content filters.
Im having trouble with the cache images feature, it ignores images from one domain and the first version i installed cached some images but ive upgraded to a later RC version and now it doesn’t cache those, it tries but the images are broken… the others that it doesn’t cache are still hotlinking. Any ideas?
Guillermo@
This is a excellent piece of software as it is, but if you will allow me to make my 2cent worth suggestion
I really think that a feature to specify how many post per campaign would be nice. Especially for somebody like me who is pulling from about 20 -30 feeds per campaign, i end up with close to 200 post per campaign when the cron runs. I dont think this is a very good idea, and would rather have liked to option to specify to make X number of post randomly using X number of feeds or random feeds.
I also think the ability to paste in many feeds at once instead of entering it one by one, will be nice
Just a thought. I know you have spend allot of time on this, so i hope this is seen as constructive feedback. It is one heck of a program already as it is.
Michael
PS — dont forget my questions posted at 12:02
@Jamison F
Can you send me the feed url you’re having trouble with?
@Michael
I’ll take that feature into account.
About your problem, it’s the same as Doug’s, it’s a bug I’ve yet to fix.
Guillermo
Will the below not work until you are able to fix the bug with permalink?
[a href=â€{feedurl}â€]Read the full story[/a]
Michael
@Michael
feedurl doesn’t work for me at least. It looks like both feedurl and permalink are placing the link to my site in front of the desired link.
I think this is something Guillermo is working on–thanks Guillermo!
The same thing as Michael
the plugin pull feed and post many posts at the same time, this
will get the blog look like spam and get it banned from ping
services,
if you can fix it to pull feed and post one item or specify X number
will be great .
I’m using rss2blog , autoblogger pro and blogsolution
and all of them have this feature .
thanks
Sorry for my English
@Shannon,
Thanks for that, i guess we will wait for the wise Guillermo to work his magic then.
Michael
Here is the feed url: http://feeds.feedburner.com/soleredemptionsneakernews
Hi,
I’ve downloaded the current version just before this post, uploaded everything, but unfortunately, I’m still receiving that same error (when clicking on WP-o-matic under options), which is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_enqueue_script() in /home/sites/domain.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/wpomatic.php on line 872
I still have the same version 2.0.4 - is my version the problem, or could there be another issue?
Thanks
@Jam
Upgrade. Posting the same error here twice won’t change my answer.
Header error gone now on RC1-8 but still get exactly the same warning:
Options
* Author username not found
- despite the username name bweing the default ‘admin’.
Also crontabs element is not explained on the Dashboard - the forms for which now also do not work (eg you cannot add a category from here any longer). Also, previously it was much prettier.
I added the selected path text as a Cronjob on my web hosting control which gave no errors but there is no feedback as yet to indicate if this was at all what is expected.
Tim

P.S.: The link to the plugin homepage is broken both in the plugin itself and in the WP Plugin Repository (it says http://devthought.com/wp-rss-the-wordpress-rss-agreggator/).
Guillermo
Can i upgrade from 1.0RC1-7: to 1.0RC1-8: by just overwriting the plugin when uploading ?
I am looking for a way to upgrade without loosing excisting campaigns in the process.
Thanks
Michael
Hello. How are you? This is a great plugin. Thanks for creating it.
Two questions -
1. I only want to show excerpts on my blog posts and not the full content. How do I go about doing that?
2. I want to add a link to the original post. Example - “Read More, Click Here” I think it’s only fair that I give a link back to the original story and author. How do I do this thanks?
@everyone
I’ve most likely fixed the post template issue you were having. I haven’t tested myself.
@Torben
I haven’t tested 2.3-beta out myself yet. Try with 2.2.2
@Mac
1. There’s not an option to fill the excerpt instead of the content (yet)
2. That’s possible with the custom template option. Read up
Hello Again.
I was trying to add a link back to the original author’s post with
{content}
[a href=â€{permalink}â€]Read the full story[/a]
in the custome template area. But, nothing is happening.
Besides that problem above and not having an excerpt option, everything is lloking good.
So, I’ll be patient to let you address these issues.
Thanks For Your Time
Guillermo
I upgraded to 1.0RC1-9, but the below is still not working.
{content}, it is still coming up with a 404
[a href=â€{permalink}â€]Read the full story[/a]
Was this addressed in 1.0RC1-9, or are you still working on that one.
Michael
Hi Guillermo! First of all thank you for such amazing plugin. You must be very tired by now.
I have two problems. I created 15 campaigns and everything seemed to be working fine. Than I pressed “fetch” button and that worked fine. But…
1. “Remove all” is not working for all campaigns
2. I set Frequency to 0d 1h 0m but nothing is happening for last 30 hours
Campaign status is set to “Published”. I use version 1.0RC1-9.
Please help
Thanks Guillermo
Guillermo,
Great plugin! The only issue that I’m having is when I add new feeds the use feed date isn’t working for me. You posted earlier something about having the offset in the feed. What I’m doing is using several WordPress installations on all my domains and I want to use the feed for my news category on each site to feed my main blog. How would one go about adding the offset field to a wordpress feed or is there a way the offset portion could be disabled in wp-o-matic since all of my sites are in the same timezone anyways?
Thanks!
[...] feeds to write posts in a smart way. WP-o-Matic allow you to create posts automatically from feeds. With its simple interface, you just type in the [...]
I have a campaign with 2 feeds in it. When I try a fetch I get the following error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/chicanon/public_html/dealfark/wp-includes/functions.php on line 211
I installed release 1.0RC1-9 with Wordpress 2.2.2 with PHP 5.2.3 and MYSQL 5.0.27
@-G
You probably are in a hosting environment with safe_mode on, so WP-o-Matic attempts to override the execution time fail.
See if your host can change that limit for you.
ALSO - When I go back and look at the campain it shows 0 posts, but when I view my site I see 2 new posts (there should have been more). Then on Remove All, Only 1 post is removed.
@-G
That’s because the process was not successfully completed, for the reasons stated above.
Thanks Guillermo!
I there
I’m running wp 2.2.2 with 1.0RC1-9 the magpie test showed everything OK
I shmod the cache dir to 777
and still get in option>wp-o-matic>option
/home/mystuff/domains/mysite.com/public_html/blogdh/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache must exist, be writable by the server and accessible through browser.
@MissXtreme
That’s just a note, not an actual error.
Guillermo,
It seems that when a feed has been added and the submit has been clicked, that it is not possible to edit or copy the feed. It would be nice if the option to edit the feed could be added next to delete option.
Regards
Michael
@Michael
Edit how ? WP-o-Matic links posts to a specific feed, so if you edit, the relationship would not make sense.
And what would be the use of a copy button ?
@MissXtreme
That’s just a note, not an actual error.
Thanks for your prompt reply
Damn, it got me running around for a while.
Maybe you should make a note about it. Spare us the headache.;)
I never like to shmod the cache to 777 , supposed to be dangerous?!
Is it ok shmod cache to 755 ?
Look like its working and posting like a real maniac, gotta get me banned by the pinging guys??
Great Plugin ! but Same as Michael, “I really think that a feature to specify how many post per campaign would be nice. Especially for somebody like me who is pulling from about 20 -30 feeds per campaign, i end up with close to 200 post per campaign when the cron runs. I dont think this is a very good idea, and would rather have liked to option to specify to make X number of post randomly using X number of feeds or random feeds.”
Guillermo,
With regards to the copy pate post of me at 12:05.
Why would one need a edit button :
Well maybe i notice i have misspelled something in the feed (like the keyword) after i added it , then instead of having to delete the feed i could just click edit and change the wrong spelling.
Why would i want to copy:
1st of all i never mentioned a copy button, only edit button. What i meant with copy is, and i just went thru this a minute ago. Say i have another campaign or i have another blog or site where i would like to place the same feed because that blog or site is based on same keywords etc (maybe i dont want to go search for the feed or recreate it. So if i were able to copy the feeds from my campains in Wp-o-matic, it would simplify my task because i could copy paste from there.
While we are on this, is there any specific reason why the feeds are added one per block. what is the change of pasting in say 20 feeds at a time.
I am not just using one or 2 feeds i use about 30 feeds per campaign (i real strain on my server). Having this many feeds is then also the reason for the earlier suggestion to have the option to post x number of feeds, randomly
Hope that makes sense
Michael
Guillermo, (Is that Italian \ Spanish?)
It aint serious but i am getting 404 error when click on any of the Help or More buttons.
Forget about the copy idea in my post before, i just found your Export feeds options, that will be even better than copy and past. Have not tried it yet, but i am sure it will work fine
I am still keen on the edit thought
Michael
Guillermo @
Hmmm, just tried the export thing, works fine. Only problem (just my problem), it is in OPML
Anybody @
Can anybody tell me how to view OPML files. Also if i have a big bunch of feeds in a notepad or word or xml \ excel format how can i convert it to OPML (so i can use Guillermo’s nice import feature), which then will suit \ replace my need mentioned in the earlier post about copy and pating a bunch of feeds at a time
Michael
Can anyone help me with my problem. See above: September 5th, 2007 at 4:48 am
Thanks
@Marko
Are you sure the cron job is working fine ?
Check the logs if you see an entry that says something like ‘Running cron job’

Naturally.
Hi,
I’m running or trying to run wp-o-matic on IIS which doesn’t have unix cron.
So I was wondering how wp-o-matic actually handled the cron function.
Also, forced fetch and reset from the dashboard seem to take quite a long time to complete.
Guillermo - this ROCKS!!
I’m saving my pennies for a fat donation.
Thanks for this great plugin!
(though I would echo the wishlist item of being able to specify how many posts it should get from any given feed at one time)
Very well done.
@Doug
Thanks and don’t worry, that feature is coming.
@wodge
Don’t know about IIS, but there must be some way -I guess- to schedule a task to access the url on the textfield on WP-o-Matic dashboard
Thanks for the prompt reply.
You can set up IIS to fetch selected URL automatically.
I was just unsure which URL you need to open to force a fetch of all the feeds.
On the Campaigns tab, there is a fetch link next to each campaign but presumably that only updates that particular campaign.
Also, is there a way to disable wp-o-matic attempting to do a unix cron. Since, people using IIS won’t have this feature it would save unnecessary processing.
@wodge
It doesn’t attempt to. But it also doesnt’ display the url to non-unix users, which constitutes a bug lol.
I’ll fix it for the next revision.
Thanks
(meaning: the textfield on the dashboard I was talking about is not being shown to you)
Thanks.
Great plugin btw.
Hi,
I don’t manage to run cron jobs, I tried 2 formulas :
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/ftp http://www.domain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=8e98a10f
>error message : ftp: http://www.domain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=8e98a10f: Name or service not known
/usr/bin/php -q
/home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=8e98a10f
>error message : No input file specified.
The second formula works when I delete this part of the url : ?code=8e98a10f - but I don’t think that’s the solution…
Thanks for your help.
And, I don’t really understand the relation between the frequency option and the cron job. Wouldn’t it be easier to fetch posts only by cron job ?
@Mozzer
No. The cron job is unique for all campaigns, it runs every ten minutes. We can’t afford to create a cron job per campaign, as you suggest.
You may not have /usr/bin/ftp, try with /usr/bin/lynx or /usr/bin/wget
No I can’t see message like ‘Running cron job’. I keep getting this message from my server admin:
sh: line 1: */10: No such file or directory
Is there a detailed instruction wp-o-matic instruction which refers to ‘cron’ issue… or am I just too old for this s..t?;)
It works great, but is there a way to only grab one post per fetch? The RSS feed has several entries per day, but I’d like to just grab one of them for my own blog.
Any luck with the image caching from that page?
Anyone getting the custom post template working to display a link to the original feed post? I’m on 1.0RC1-9 but am still seeing my site’s url in front of the desired url from the rss feed trying both permalink and feedurl.
I upgraded by deactivating the previous version, deleting the WP-o-matic directory from my ftp site, then replacing it with the 1.0RC1-9 version and recreating the campaigns.
@ Shannon,
Nope the Read More in custom template is a bug i believe Guillermo is still working on, keep your fingers crossed and hope it will be part of 1.0RC1-10 :-0
And the random url x post is a popular request mentioned several times here, so i guess Guillermo has taken note of.
I dont know how Guillermo does it all, post in the comments and have time to work, sleep, eat etc, i am starting to think Guillermo is actually a BOT
Michael
Michael
I’m trying this plugin-what a fantastic idea!
My specs are: Wordpress 2.2.2, Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix), PHP version 4.4.6, MySQL version 4.1.22-standard-log, Architecture x86_64, Operating system Linux, and most importantly, Wpomatic 1.0RC1-9.
I am having the following issue:
Once the feeds are fetched, they post in order, etc. However, the feed content is cut off, and clicking on the post title does nothing- in other words, there is actually no continued content in the post page. All I have is a home page full of titles, and parsed content. There is no feed url displayed, and no way to read more of the post, or even a way to find out where it came from.
Is there a reason for this? I will email you with site login info, if I may.
Thank you!
@Shannon
I believe Guillermo is working on that problem. I think in the next update the read more issue and allowing for small excerpts instead of full content may be fixed.
Keep Up The Good Work, Guillermo!
Yes Guillermo, and happy to give you a donation for motivation!
Ive tried everything i can think of still the images from that feed/domain are not caching. Other images from other feeds/sites are though… I thought it may have been how deep in a permalink directory the actual image was being stored… but thats not it…. i also thought it could be file format but its simply jpeg’s being ignored and thats not it. I can also tell you that the images are not being copied to the cache directory and then simply not linked or anything as i checked that. If i can help you figure it out in any other way please let me know, even if you need credentials to my server.
Thanks Guillermo, it works with /usr/bin/wget
I noticed all the same something : even if I settle the frequency in 0 days, 0 hours and 1 minutes for example, the field Next campaigns to process indicates 5 hours 1m
Apparently, I cannot fetch the feeds that at least every 5 hours…
I have settled the time zone in wordpress; I cannot regrettably do it for my server (I have a shared hosting).
Can the problem come from there ?
@Mozzer
No. The cron job is unique for all campaigns, it runs every ten minutes. We can’t afford to create a cron job per campaign, as you suggest.
You may not have /usr/bin/ftp, try with /usr/bin/lynx or /usr/bin/wget
Guillermo,
best plugin out there! i will definitely donate and support your endevours, once i finalize the use of your plugin.
quick question. i’m having no problems really, all works well, yet some of the imaes are broken from the feeds, not the images from the posts per se, more specifically the “email this” and “digg this” links in feedburner.
any sugestions on how to eliminate them, or somehow add them to my image database so they always come up. i’m assuming feedburner is keeping me from downloading them.
again, excellent plugin!
Rob
