Just for the record I had difficulty with cron not running the script (even running it manually wouldnt make new posts show up, even when i had a new feed 'primed' and ready). I would hit 'fetch' and it would work... but not with cron
the problem was is because there are TWO separate processes. The first one checks IF there are new posts, and then sets a counter to 'yes' or 'no' depending, but nothing more. The SECOND process actually is what posts it (the cron script)
So I have the first one to 'check' every 3 hours, and the cron to run every 20 minutes.
if cron runs, after the initial check is 'yes', then it posts them, otherwise it wont post anything. you can check how much time is left of the initial check by clicking 'campaigns' under wp-o-matic. It will say 'next!' when its primed to post (new posts in the feed)
