Wordpress - WP-o-Matic
 
I've installed WP-o-Matic on a wordpress blog and loaded some feeds but I can't schedule it to load the feeds one by one. I press 'fetch' and the whole feed - 15 or 20 or more posts - gets inserted instead of just one post.
Anyone use WP-o-Matic or can point me to a tutorial?
Thanks in advance. :)

Thats just what it does the first time you load it up...Did you setup a cronjob?

I am using it on one blog to test it. There is not really any documentation. When a sponsor has 10 feeds on 1 day they will all be fetched in one cronjob run. No matter what your cronjob is like. Also the rewrite option doesn't work for me. I even had to change some code because in WP 2.3 some files are on a different location or have different names. I think it could be a great plugin but it needs some finetuning( it's still a RC version ) and a lot of documentation.

Good luck with it and keep an eye on the developers homepage.

I tried WP-O-Matic and decided against it for precicely the reasons you mention; too little control. If you want the ultimate in control and convenience check out Blogs Automater. It's not free like WP plugins, but well worth the money IMO if you plan on setting up a RSS fed splog network.

Thanks all for the feedback. I guess WP-O-Matic is not all its cracked up to be. At least not yet.

I just installed the newest version. It works better now with wp 2.3. Still some errors now and then but the rewrite option seems to work. I think for a free plugin it is getting very interesting. Other software will cost you $200 or more.
