what?!?its past youtube . now it doesnt have in my scrape box View attachment 330254
yeah i know the regex thingbut i didnt want to do that .. just wanted to put in keywords and get articles, like in the youtube vid., but seems like that feature is gone,,what?!?
EDIT: oh, I understand what you meant... Anyway, I don't remember where it is, but it's there! The article scraper is pretty complicated to use if you're not familiar with SB, it's actually one of the plugins that I didn't like
I think you need to define some variables and then the software will scrape articles based on those definitions, something like that... Just watch the tutorials on YT and you'll figure it out, that's how i did it too...
it's not regex, it's some code that you have to copy / paste from the site you're scraping. For example, if you want to scrape from EzineArticles (if that thing even exists anymore) you'd open one of their articles and check the source code and then you'd copy a unique identifier / tag from the beginning of the content and from the end of the content, and paste them into your customizer (you can see the customizer in your screenshot actually)...yeah i know the regex thingbut i didnt want to do that .. just wanted to put in keywords and get articles, like in the youtube vid., but seems like that feature is gone,,
most of my targeted blogs have very complicated structures not workable with this methods,,, my friend developer says so.it's not regex, it's some code that you have to copy / paste from the site you're scraping.

Anyway, I really don't remember the exact process, and it's really explained well in Loopline's YT vids, make an effort to watch and implement it because it works. And SB in general is very complex, so you need to dedicate time to learning it because it's a powerhouse of a tool. But you need to learn how to use it
