I want to rip the post titles and post contents of a WordPress blog. Is there a way to do this automatically for the entire site, instead of copy pasting one by one?

I tried using RSS feeds in MS Excel, but that only shows the latest 10-15 posts of the website. I want to rip the entire website's content. The RSS feeds method is also alright, but it seems that RSS feeds, when newly subscribed to, will only give you content since after you've subscribed to the website's RSS feeds. Is there anyway to get the RSS feeds of a website since its existence?

That's 2 questions, btw. :D

One way would be to Check if there's a sitemap, since in it all pages are listed, then simply find a way to crawl all pages and extract the content from them

I thought of that too, but I'm currently clueless on how to go about that. Can you please share some thoughts? That'd be great. Thanks :)
 
Basically what you are looking for is a auto blogging solution for a wordpress such as wprobot. Try to get yourself a latest version

well, i'd first check if there's some tool that can extract post content from provided list of pages. If no luck in finding such thing, i would code one in php in quick.. but thats just me since php is my specialty..

Isn't there a tool out there already that can extract stuff?
 
You can probably find someone on Freelancer.com to make a bot that will scrape their sitemap and post it on your Wordpress blog. I'd recommend weighing whether or not doing so is worth the price of a custom bot.
 
If sitemap is not available you can use Xenu's Link Sleuth to get it and than any scraper
 
you can use wordpress rss aggregator and add the targeted websites feed and it will rip there posts and add it to your wordpress blog done this long time ago and it works;)

He would like to scrape all posts of the website, not the latest x amount of the posts ;)
 
I echo what the above poster said, you can get somebody on freelancer out of India or Pakistan who can crawl anything you want for dirt cheap, and they'll give you a built in function on the backend where all you have to do is hit a button that says "crawl new content" and it will automatically update for you. I've had it done before for a video site.
 
I assume that you don't own the blog you're trying to copy content from because if you did all you have to do is export the data and import it elsewhere. I wonder if it's even possible to do what you're trying to accomplish because, for example, if I have WP installed on my server and I set the RSS to publish only the past 12 or 20 posts in the feed how can someone scrape the rest? I manage sites for a couple authors who turn their blog posts into books every year or so and we disable the posts after 4 weeks - switching to Draft status to prevent what you're trying to do. There's also a WP copyright plugin but that prevents right-click, printing and/or saving. Is the site you want to pull from on WordPress or a privately hosted account?
 
You can use wordpress RSS aggregator. Or you can hire a freelancer from asia to do this work. you can pay less for them also.
 
I hope your landing pages cover all the updates that adwords bot covers OR you will get denied.

Does anyone know of a tool that does that? I saw wpcloaker, but not sure if that works. Anybody tried this?!
 
the thing op trying to see is wordpress cloner.

i've been looking for something like this for a long time as well, but havent' found that.

i always get rss based solutions or
expensive but better VA solutions , pay someone to copy paste content for 20-30$

i have done hundreds of sites like this.

almost clones it. with a bit of common sense.
