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.

Just wanted to say that initial testing of the fix I just found were SUCCESSFUL. No duplicates, yippee.
The logic of the fix suggests to me that it will also work when it’s working under its own power. (The test was to click Fetch - it imported 4 articles, none of which were duplicates.)

EASY TO DO.
TOO EARLY TO KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR ME.

WPOM is great idea, however…
It is duplicating the posts it pulls in – not just once, but multiple times.
So on my blog#2 I now have about 12 copies of a post from my blog#1.
I see I am not the only one having a problem with duplicates.
Has anyone found a fix for this?

can’t get feed
March 27th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
It gives me error if I put bad url in RSS field like Feed X could not be parsed (SimplePie said: ). But if I put right RSS urls it doesn’t give me any errors but still doesn’t save campaign

help! my wpomatic 1.0pre3 doesn’t add campaigns! I click Add campaign, then fill campaign name with slug, then add rss urls and check category and click Submit. Then nothing happens, I get same Add campaign page without any errors. And when I check under Campaigns, the list is empty
Wordpress version is 2.3.3

I’m having the same fetch issues as everyone else but the guy is trying. His post today said he is working on it. Who’s paying him? Exactly. Remember that before you toss something up in the comments.
Keep the faith Guillermo.
Jesus, the guy is 17 years old and lives on McDonalds. Give him a little space.
Keep it up brother!

There are too many people with this same problem. There is definitely something not right with the plugin.
Warning: is_executable() [function.is-executable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/sbin/php.com) is not within the allowed path(s):

The install and cron are set-up but the problem I am having is this:
1. If I run the script using the “Fetch” the script runs for about a minute and then the download file dialogue is triggered. The script may download about 4 posts before it quits.
2. If we run the script from the cron, the script runs for about 5 minutes and then quits (we have a 5 minute execution limit for PHP). In this case, no posts get parsed.
We have set the max memory for PHP to 64 M. The script seems to be taking a long time to run and takes up a lot of memory to execute. Do you have any suggestions or does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks,
Stephen
