Guys I also have same problem I have installed: wp-autoblog-a-syndication-plugin http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2006/06/06/wp-autoblog-a-syndication-plugin/ however I couldnt import anything
I tested WP-autoblog. Since I'm a complete dummy it posted about two hundred of posts while I was asleep, and when I deactivated it, it still continued to post... than I deleted all its files from the server, but plugin was working for some half a day more before it finally died... hope forever.
The programmer was too stupid to adjust for timestamps. That means your half a day of posts were published (didn't show on main page cause time didn't match yet due to time zones) but wp-autoblog pinged everyone for you and most likely got you banned. It's a bad bad program unless you dig deep to see what makes it work. Cheers
Not to hijack this thread but Col's issue was resolved, now I'm just trying to get feedwordpress to work and no matter what feed I put in for the URI, it says no feed found. Does anyone have any idea?
mmm... i've just set it up on one of my sites and no problems so far, its set up its own categories dependingon what the news is about though.
Its tells you in the read me file how to set up the cron jobs (or at least it did in my read me file)
in this thread there are more than one plugin, which one did you mean? this one: http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2006/06/06/wp-autoblog-a-syndication-plugin/ is cronless I hope this helps
I want to use cron to auto update the wp autoblog plugin. So is it trying to say it will automatically update without cron? I'm confused
Can you tell us about it? This plugin is driving me insane. It creates hundreds of categories when i pull in a feed - no matter from where.
