August Updates: Features, Fixes and Free Addons

August is here, and with it we bring a whole bunch of useful updates and improvements to many WPeMatico products. We even have a new (free!) addon for you!

New features and filters in WPeMatico Core (free version)

A helpful new feature has been added in the free version of WPeMatico that allows you to choose an image from the source article by order. In other words, automatically choose the second image from the source article you have fetched from, or the fifth image, etc.

New filters have also been added so that you can process the post’s featured image by attachment ID.

This update also makes some tweaks in the campaign logs for media files, resolves an issue with path redirections in the location header, and fixes a bug when deactivating the WP Cron.

WPeMatico Professional 1.7.3

and WPeMatico Full 1.6

A useful feature has been added to WPeMatico Professional so you can avoid having to upload the Default image over and over again.

Lots of improvements have been made to Full Content Addon, including a redesign of the Config Files Editor screen, Settings, and Full Content tab. A class Inspector has also been added to get the xPATH for the correct content in each domain. Finally, we have put in a new feature that allows you to insert a new blank txt config file from scratch.

New Addon: WPeMatico Hooks (Free!)

This new, free addon lets you add actions and filters that WPeMatico possesses in order to make personalized changes in the campaigns you execute, or actions that require a specific change in behavior.

Other updates

For WPeMatico SMTP 1.4, we have added a new code structure, completely redone from scratch. The  method has been changed to OpenSSL AES, and it is now compatible with the Core license updater. Finally, the problem with password autocomplete in Settings has been fixed.

In Make Me Feed, an issue with the new Inspector popup has been resolved.

We have a new structure for the main code in our Chinese Tags 1.3, redone from scratch, and the new updater from Core has also been added. Finally, the issue with PHP notices when installing with the PRO version has been fixed.

Remember! Make sure your license keys are loaded and activated in the Licenses tab of WPeMatico Settings!!

Coming soon, Stats!

Need more detailed reports or statistics? Post obtained per day? Feeds that aren’t working? Or do you want to know how a campaign is working and how much you are getting from it each time it executes?

We have started with WPeMatico Stats. We expect to launch it very soon. If you can’t wait, leave a comment or start a support ticket 🙂

Enjoy!

Major Releases in October

At last! We were very excited about this release of WPeMatico. In version 1.8, we have substantially improved the core of the WPeMatico plugin.

Facing  version 2.0, we already have many improvements in the performance and we’ve tweaked all the JavaScript codes and CSS styles considerably, and obsolete classes or functions have been replaced by their successors.

Many filters and new features have been added to the core, as well as many extensions. Because of this, in updating to this version of WPeMatico, any purchased extensions will also have to be updated to the latest version.

 

We’ve added a new tool: the Campaign Control Panel. You’ll find it in the metabox “Publish” when you edit the campaign.

The Campaign Control Panel

The page of Settings->System Status was updated almost from scratch. Many missing but useful details were added for when you need to debug system tests and find server failures, and also to search for incompatibilities in the modules or plugins.

We’ve corrected a lot of things in the Campaign Wizard pop-up because it was unstable and ugly.

The Campaign Wizard
Campaign Wizard

 

In the professional version, a button was placed in the feed URL row that opens a pop-up for that feed’s own options. In previous versions, it was only enabled when the multi-page feed option was activated, as some users are already aware, but now we have added the option “Force feed” in the modal window, to allow it to be used when the feed checking gives an error (in addition to being able to continue adding  more individual functions for every feed in the future).

Apart from all that, when you install the Professional add-on, the exportation of campaigns is activated and you can choose which campaigns to include in the debug file when sending a support ticket.

WPeMatico 1.8.1 and WPeMatico Cache 1.4 improvements

A must-have update was released today for the WPeMatico Plugin: now version 1.8.1. Also, take a look at the new WPeMatico Cache to optimize the speed and performance of your websites!

WPeMatico 1.8.1

* Added “Find in title” option in the Words to Categories feature.
This option allows you to assign a category to the new post only if the word is found in the title of the source article.

* Tweaks in Campaign Control Panel behavior in new campaigns.
The Campaign Control Panel options have different behavior depending on the status of the campaign. In other words, when a campaign runs, the “Run Once” button turns green, and the “Start/Activate Campaign Scheduler” button changes permanently to red, indicating that the campaigns are active and scheduled to run on the date/time in red. The “Stop and Deactivate this Campaign” button is available to be clicked to stop the campaign. With “Reset Post Count”, you can reset all counters to zero and also delete the last campaign log (be careful, because there is no way to undo this). The “Delete Hash Code for Duplicates” button erases the hash code used by the duplicates control to allow fetching of the same posts; this is very useful to debug campaign behaviors to fetch the same posts multiple times until you get exactly what you want. And finally, the “See Last Log” button, as its name suggests, allows you to see a pop-up with the details of the last campaign fetch and the events for every post obtained .

* Fixed “Draft” status in new campaigns.
This was an issue that appeared in the last major 1.8 update.  It has been fixed in this version, and campaigns should no longer have the Draft status when they are saved.

 

WPeMatico Cache 1.4

* Added an option to delete all the cache from the front-end in the WordPress admin bar.
This option allows you to clear the cache of the entire website quickly and easily from the front-end; to see it, you must activate the “Enable Cache” option oin the WPeMatico Cache Settings page. If you can’t see it, you can update any post, and then the option will appear in the WordPress admin bar.

* A quick action “Clear Cache” was added to each row of the lists of cacheable post types to allow clearing the cache only for a particular post, page, etc.

Other minor changes were:

* Tweaks in the creation of cache for taxonomies pages.
* Tweaks in the license page, hiding the renewal links for lifetime licenses.
* Fixed version number after missing 1.3 in the previous release.

December News!!

Keeping the WPeMatico plugin and its add-ons updated is extremely important to keep your campaigns working properly. Updates are improvements that are made to the core and different add-ons which serve a specific purpose, in order to make sure they work optimally and repair any bugs, errors or issues that might come up.

Take a look what’s new with WPeMatico and its add-ons:

WPeMatico is an autoblogging plugin. With its help you can automatically create posts from your preferred RSS/Atom feeds and organize them in campaigns.

In the last 2 versions, we have decided to add the options “Start Campaigns” and “Stop Campaigns” to the bulk options in the list of campaigns. Now, you can even use “shift+click” to select campaigns from the list faster.

In this version, a custom user-agent and filters to change it have also been added. Finally, our CSS code has been cleaned up and improved.

WPeMatico Professional expands WPeMatico with a ton of advanced functions and lots of new features to analyze and filter the contents from the source elements.

In the last 2 versions, we’ve fixed a “Default featured image if not found image on content” pop-up and solved an issue with loading the default featured image from a URL; now, you can assign a featured image from the URL of your choice.

Plus, we’ve added an option to change the user-agent used to read the feeds. Another very important feature is that it now corrects the use of the “Force Feed” and “user-agent” options in Test Feed and the verification fields of the saved campaign. It even has support for the new feed formats from Google News.

WPeMatico Make me Feed is an add-on for WPeMatico that allows you to create RSS feeds with content from sites external to your WordPress blog, regardless of whether they have their own feed or not.

The last 2 versions of this add-on include an update to the license key administrator. We also changed the route where cookies are saved; you can now find them here: uploads/wpematicopro/curl_cookies/

This version solves a problem with source links that give an Error 404 in some cases. Something very important that we want to highlight is that, in this version, we made a first attempt at adding private feeds via http authentication. (This feature can be used, but is still in beta. Also, if the “Server API” is CGI/FastCGI, this function cannot be used).

What are you waiting for? Update and enjoy all our latest changes and improvements.

In other news, we invite you to check out our new FAQs, which will help clear up any questions you may have or troubleshoot problems with our plugins.

Some of the new FAQs include:

January news 2018, WPeMatico 1.9

Hi All! at least, these are the January News!! In this 2018, we have excellent news for you. Take a look at the features and functionalities that WPeMatico offers in this new version.

WPeMatico 1.9

The latest version of our autoblogging plugin. New features that this version has for you are Campaign Preview, which thanks to its compatibility with the Manual Fetching add-on, lets you view the list of the posts the campaign will fetch the next time. We have also added a new function called Convert character encoding to UTF-8, which lets you convert the character encoding of the content and title to UTF-8 if they have a different character encoding. Also, we have tweaked and improved the performance of file loading, and also added compatibility to use HTTP Cookies from the Professional add-on.

Campaign Preview
When click in the “eye” icon, a popup will open to show you the next items to fetch. This allow you to see if the campaign has pending items to publish from any feed inside it.

The actions become available with the Manual fetching addon as you can see below.

Convert character encoding to UTF-8

This feature was automatic in the past working by reviewing all contents and re-encoding all, but taking with it a lot of server resources. Now we’ve added and option to lets you choose if convert the character encoding of the content and title to UTF-8 if they have a different character encoding.

 

Manual Fetching

We also invite you to check out our latest add-on, Manual Fetching, which greatly expands the possibilities of WPeMatico since the combination of these add-ons allows you to view a list of posts from the RSS feed of your choice with the new Preview Feed option, where you can check the status of the posts: if they are already published, will be published in the next fetch, or if they have not been published yet.

Once the campaign is configured and saved, you can click on the Preview Feed button to start using this incredible function!

 

You can clicking on the title to see the posts individually with the Preview Item feature and find out what content will be extracted.

 

Another very important feature is that, from the Preview Feed, you can choose which post to publish yourself by clicking on the “Fetch Now” button in the “Actions” column.

 

The number of posts that will be published in the next fetch will depend on the option Max items to create on each fetch. In the example below, you can see that we have set this to 3 items.

 

Manual Fetching is also compatible with YouTube Fetcher, and with the Preview Item feature, you can see the content that will be extracted in the post.

 

We want to emphasize that Manual Fetching works perfectly together with our other add-ons. They can be combined in order to obtain different results.

 

Professional 1.9

Our Professional add-on is also up to date, and this new version offers many improvements and features, such as improved performance when loading a default image, adjustments to changing the name of the image of the campaign by ticking/unticking other options. We have also made improvements to the audio and video options when it is fetching. And most important of all, we added the new HTTP Cookies function, which allows it to use cookies like a browser would in SimplePie fetching, Full Content, and in uploading multimedia files (images, audio and video). Something else that might be of interest to you is that these cookies are saved to the following file path: wp-contentuploadswpematicoprocurl_cookies.

As we mentioned above, the Manual Fetching add-on is compatible with all of our add-ons, giving you more control of which posts will be published on your site, and letting you view their contents. On the other hand, the Professional add-on has improved performance and a new function that will provide you with a better experience when using WPeMatico.

WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 2.0 is here!!

It’s finally here!

It’s been a long time and several stages since the old version 1.0… hundreds of improvements and many corrections over the months and even years to make our plug-in one of the most powerful autoblogging tools. Finally, we are pleased to announce to our community of users and customers that a new chapter has begun: WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 2.0 has arrived.

We have improved a lot of things, from the evolution of our host Robotico 2.0, to our websites, add-ons store and user accounts, as well as the WPeMatico plug-in and each of its add-ons. Many of these things will become gradually available, but we couldn’t wait any longer to announce everything!

We’re happy to see how much has improved over time

Over this long journey, we’ve dedicated ourselves to improving and strengthening this plug-in’s features, plus adding lots more, all through analyzing the autoblogging needs of our users and customers in order to fulfill them. These improvements have focused on everything from design to the functionality and performance of our plug-in, and this tool has gone through a lot of changes for the sole purpose of making autoblogging something simple, flexible and easy to use.

Among the most relevant changes that have been made over the years, we can highlight the use of CRON, both the internal one from WordPress as well as an external one from a private or third-party server to noticeably improve site performance, plus the fetching of images, audio and video, allowing for large uploads. One of the most-used features is the assignment of different categories to posts based on the keywords found in the content, or the individual options of each campaign that allow you to modify the defaults from the plug-in configuration, content rewriting, post templates, coding of UTF-8 characters, and much more.

 

Apart from all these changes, there were a few special things that marked a turning point in the released version:

  • Quick Edit and Bulk Edit. Speeds up changes by removing the need to open the campaign to make simple modifications.
  • The button to execute/activate a campaign from the list.
  • The control panel included inside each campaign, giving easy access to the main functions and to an updated campaign summary.

And the “Campaign Types”. Without a doubt, one of the most important changes, allowing the creation of add-ons to perform different types of campaigns by adding to the standard Feed the possibility of extracting practically any type of content from other sites, such as YouTube Fetcher, Facebook Fetcher, eBay Fetcher, translate before posting and posting to an email account instead of the WordPress blog, among many others…

 

Introducing Robotico 2.0

It goes without saying that what was once our mascot in a flat icon has become a powerful machine capable of activating, maintaining and defending your WordPress Autoblog from the most powerful enemies: a dead, abandoned or decaying blog… Robotico won’t let your blog fall into the clutches of oblivion. xD

 

WPeMatico and its Addons have been developed according to the standards and regulations of WordPress, and are also compatible with third-party plug-ins to avoid problems with the site in which it is installed
