@funktrust:

It's not a plugin its a script... Someone has set this up for me I have just edited the configuration quite a lot.

I'm using Get Post Image plugin.

Hey, guys. I love this thread. I'm following along and building my own autoblog.

But after uploading all the plugins I get this WP-O-Matic error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WPOMatic in /home/myname/public_html/mysite.info/wp-content/plugins/wpomatic/wpomatic.php on line 69

Edit: I figured it out. I hadn't yet edited the main index.php file from the_content to the_excerpt. I guess WP-o-Matic can only work with excerpts.

Actually the problem's happening again. Any ideas?

sorry ive not been as active as id like to be on the thread guys really busy at the min...latest update technicnews.com is now PR 2 probably has been for a little while but never checked to be honest.

I fixed my earlier problem. I had an old version of WP-O-Matic that was bundled with a Mac version. When I downloaded a newer version with no Mac version bundled, it worked.

Specopkirbs, nice work on this thread. This is really cool, because I have a bunch of old blogs with unique content but I don't keep them up anymore and their serps have dropped somewhat. But some autopilot can keep them alive and strong.

One thing I wasn't clear on was whether or not there should be one feed per campaign. I loaded all my feeds (24 feeds - one for every hour of the day) into one campaign, and when I just did a manual fetch I got 24 posts all at once! :yield: LOL. So I guess I know the answer - I should have 1 feed in each campaign connected to one category of the same name, all set to be fetched every 24 hours? I have the cron job set to run every hour.

24 posts per day is too much per day .. decrease this to 2-3 per day ..let your blog grow naturally ..else get prepared to be raped in the ass by google ..

 

[kingtrojan]

does anyone know which plug in is techchunk using for the related Digg posts ?No one mentioned about that in the thread ..

Thanks, good advice.

Right now I don't know how to space out the times of the different feeds, so on the schedule it says they are all scheduled to come in around the same time. Does anyone know how we can space out the feeds so they are every 6 hours or whatever? Even if I set it to 4 times a day, it looks like they'll all come in at the same time.

@funktrust -

How'd you get the Get Post Image plugin running outside the loop. Looking at the developers examples, I can't seem to follow it.

i tried tried and tried...
all went well and im following this thread from the beginning..
but now theres a problem.
my feeds are not working..
i uploaded specopkirbs's theme and plugins.. made a couple of amenments my self in the php and everything but now theres a strange problem.. my feed does not exist..
for eg.
hxxp://mysite.c0m/feed does not exist. it's giving me an error
this is the error from feedvalidator

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

• line1, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:0: no element found [help]

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.
Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type

i dont know what does it mean?
does anyone have a clue?? or is anyone else having the same problem???
Please help me out people

i read this post a while back and got started on my own teckchuck style autoblog.

the theme isn't mine but the whole autoblogging/scraping rpc.xml scripting and image stuff was custom made.

handsdown, this is the BEST wordpress theme i've ever seen! that's why i'm using it.

i'm just having a real hard time trying to figure out why it takes sooo long to load.

if anyone likes the look of it or can think of a way to monetize a niche through it i'm happy to share what i've done.

Lookin' nice! I didn't have a hard time loading the page, but if you don't have it already, I'd consider installing WP-SuperCache to save some of the server load.
