You have heard of low quality content, right? Have you ever seen a low quality syndication? I have an RSS feed, and it is crap; The content is all jammed together like it was just in a car accident; I sure hell bet this content does not look like this at the source... I am looking for a good syndication plugin for wp so i can pull from various sites. I am not sure if videos can be pulled, but whatever is in the content, then I would like pulled to my blog (proper) blog format that you can read.... options to strip out links would be a plus. I do not mind linking back to give credit is due, but each page loaded down with 20 links is a bit too much... and if the format is bad and does not look good when pulled over, then no one is going to read the crap, they will be gone in like 5seconds... Ideas?
You are largely limited to what the feed(s) offer but I have used feed wordpress without issue for a few folks. http://wordpress.org/plugins/feedwordpress/ not a fan of paying for stuff but there is this as well. http://wprobot.net/ will sort videos if its in the feed as well. hope that helps, Nigel
It just so happens that I downloaded feedwordpress earlier...not what I hoped, maybe it can be changed, but when i pulled the first feed, it really wast not a post...when I clicked on it thinking it was going to open the post, it just went directly to the post on the feed (back to their post) I need to be able to add more content to posts, but will do me no good if my wp post is nothing more then a backlink to their post....
You just have to rifle through the config. Whether or not links go back to the site etc. is a setting. Nigel
Seconding feedwordpress, read the settings through thoroughly - there's a template option all the way at the bottom that lets you use shortcodes or whatever they're called to put together a coherent post.
