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.

Is there any chance that we can get the current developmental version???

can anyone guide me as how to link to the original post?

It appears my embedding solution only works with fetch posts, not ones posted by cron. Curious. Any ideas? I’m thinking it might actually be a WordPress permissions issue.

I also cannot get ‘post template feature’ to work and point to original website??
Also posts do not automatically update I have to ‘fetch’ them manually??
Can anybody give me any clues please….
Thanks

Hey, I’m loving this plug-in.
Here’s an odd issue I hope someone can give me some advice on.
Whenever there’s a post in a feed that has a picture at the beginning of it, all of the content of that post duplicates INSIDE the post on my blog.
Like this:
— POST —-
picture —- content — duplicate picture — duplicate content
—END POST —-
If there isn’t a picture, everything is normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
i have a very stange error: I changed the post template, delete all posts from wp-o-matic and reseted my campaign. wp-o-matic gets called by a unix-cron every 15 minutes (wget + url). So I waited for the next cron-run to re-import the feed. The import happened as expected, but: the posts did not change their layout according to the new template. The old template was still in use. When importing the feed manually via the campaign-fetch command, the new layout is applied correclty. This only happens when getting the feeds via cron.
Any ideas what’s going on here?
WP: 2.3.3, wp-o-matic 1.0pre5

Hi,
Things were working fine but after I upgraded to Wordpress.2.5, the feed url field isn’t recognising valid addresses.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Sorry, i can’t find it in this all comments
