How to use Post template feature inside campaign editing ?

This answer also apply for:

How to add all fetched enclosures or media files in the post content ?
How to add a Gallery with all images in the post ?
How to add shortcodes automatically in the fetched post contents ?

Campaign post template allow to modify the content fetched by adding extra information, such as text, images, campaign data, etc. before save it as post content.

We’ ve created our own tags to arrange and print the different values of the variables that we can find inside the header of the feed and inside each feed item.
You can use some tags that will be replaced for its current value. See below the description and examples on how to use each one.

There is also the possibility of using WordPress shortcodes, writing them in the Post Template of the campaign so WordPress will take care of processing and printing its content.
You can use any shortcode here; will be processed by WordPress.

For example, you can add shortcodes to add all fetched enclosures or media files in the post content.

Supported tags

A tag is a piece of text that gets replaced dynamically when the post is created. Currently, these tags are supported:

{title} The feed item title.
{content} The feed item content.
{itemcontent} The feed item description.
{image} Put the featured image on content.
{author} The feed item author.
{authorlink} The feed item author link (If exist).
{permalink} The feed item permalink.
{feedurl} The feed URL.
{feedtitle} The feed title.
{feeddescription} The description of the feed.
{feedlogo} The feed’s logo image URL.
{feedfavicon} The feed’s Favicon URL.
{campaigntitle} This campaign title
{campaignid} This campaign ID.
{item_date} The date of the post item.
{item_time} The time of the post item.

Examples:

If you want to add a link to the source at the bottom of every post and the author, the post template would look like this:

{content} 
<a href="{permalink}">Go to Source</a><br /> 
Author: {author}

{content} will be replaced with the feed item content, {permalink} by the source feed item URL, which makes it a working link and {author} with the original author of the feed item.

Shortcodes:

&lsqb;gallery]

it’s a WP shortcode for insert a gallery into the post. You can read more info here.

You can add a gallery with three columns with all thumbnails images clickables at the bottom of every content, but before source link and author name, the post template would look like this:

{content} 
&lsqb;gallery link="file" columns="3"] 
<a href="{permalink}">Go to Source</a><br /> 
Author: {author}

If you want to display all the media videos or audios in the content you could use

&lsqb;playlist]

The playlist shortcode implements the functionality of displaying a collection of WordPress audio or video files in a post.

The playlist shortcode has several attributes, which are making it possible to alter its output.

&lsqb;playlist type="video" style="dark"]

Read more about [playlist] shortcode and its attributes here.

To get best results you could also use external plugins that add new shortcodes to display playlists or different galleries by adding their shortcodes in the post template textarea.

Error when loading Settings page

It sounds like cURL is not activated in your hosting.

Can you see writing below the WPeMatico section in your WP Settings?

Try checking the box for “Hide Reviews on Settings”.

Jump duplicate posts

The name of the option in the Settings is “Continue fetching if found duplicated items”. (This was previously named Jump Duplicates).

Keep in mind that the campaign works with the items in the order they are found in the feed. If a duplicate item is found, that means that all the following items were already fetched in a previously executed campaign. (This happens when the campaign has some time running automatically, not the first time.)

That’s why the campaign is interrupted when it finds the first duplicate post.

It is strongly recommended that you deactivate Jump Duplicates to get better behavior.

If you deactivate the “Jump Duplicates” option, you can run the campaign more times in an hour so you don’t miss any posts.

You will not miss new posts because the feed items are ordered by date/time in almost all cases. When the campaign runs, it goes item by item from newest to oldest, and stops when it finds the first duplicated item, this mean that all items after it (the older ones) are also duplicated.

We are talking about autoblogging, meaning new items are added automatically. Focus your mind on the future, not the past

Example 1: If you fetch 4 out of 10 items in a feed, then you missed 6, but just the first time. After the first run, the campaign stops when it finds the first duplicated post, in this case, item #4. Then, if you run the campaign often enough, it will not miss any posts unless the feed adds too many posts between campaign runs.

Example 2: If you have a feed that has 34 items, then:

You must set the campaign to work from now to the future, and then you can deprecate old items (or try to manually run a campaign to fetch the 34 items, but this is pointless for the main purpose).

Then, you must know how many new items are added per hour (or per two hours, or per day). This depends of the source site.

If you see that the main site is adding around 10 posts a day, you could say that getting 2 posts per hour is enough. You’ll get better performance if this value is as low as possible, and you won’t miss any items because the main site doesn’t have more than 1 new post per hour.

If you think that more than 2 posts can be added in an hour, then you can fetch every 30 minutes.

This is also better for performance.

If you are using the Custom Titles feature from the Professional version, you’ll also lose Duplicate Titles checking, because the original title will be saved always as a different title.

WPeMatico Free core v2.5

Version 2.5 concludes a series of radical changes that we had started since version 2.4 in terms of plugin security. Also following a strict revision to follow the standards of WordPress coding development. Its update is highly recommended but it is also recommended to test it on development servers before moving it to production websites.

We have completely removed the use of cURL and own functions in favor of WordPress file processing and functions to obtain remote files.

We removed HTML entity decode from each post before inserted. You can activate the function again on Settings.

NOTE: We had to change the url of the external CRON. Take a look at the “Settings” if your campaigns are freezed.

Thanks to all the contributors for their collaborations and to the moderators of WordPress Plugins for their revisions and for pointing us in the right direction on several issues.

Enhancements:

We have completely removed the use of cURL and own
functions in favor of WordPress file processing and functions to obtain
remote files.
We removed HTML entity decode contents by default before insert each post. You can activate the function again on Settings.

Bugfixes:

Fixes the loss of manually entered tags in the campaign when processing categories.

Recent (may break) changes:

Added an option in Settings to make HTML entity
decode to the post contents before inserted to avoid possible xss from
untrusted feed sources. Users who need (and want), can activate it from
there. Props to @nibiwodong.
The
removed cURL in many functions could work a bit different for some
servers. You should take a look if the images uploads are working well
and if not, you can select the Custom Uploads option in Settings.
The
external URL of CRON has changed since the previous version. If your
campaigns have been freezed for some time, it is because the Cron is not
running. Check out the settings for the new URL.
Enlarges the version required for the Professional addon to 2.4

Website Re-design

As an additional note and with great joy we have redesigned many pages and graphic styles of the website to better show the most important features of the WPeMatico (because it is almost impossible to list all the functions it has).

We will continue step by step improving and adding pages and articles on the site for clearer navigation and information for the users and customers.
Our Frequently Asked Questions, personalized support and plugin extensions are still offered in our official Store at https://etruel.com where in addition to the WPeMatico extensions you can find other interesting products.

5 Signs Your Small Business’s Website Security Strategy Needs Revamping

We live in an era where cyberattacks are only getting increasingly worse.

From 2015 through 2016, for instance, there was a significant 32% increase in the number of hacked sites, and an 18% increase from 2017 through 2018.

And here’s another very startling fact: out every ten cyberattacks in the world, at least seven are aimed at small to medium sized businesses, or businesses that have two hundred and fifty employees.

What’s more, is that most of these small to medium sized businesses do a rather poor job with cybersecurity, having a greatly underdeveloped and underfunded IT team in contrast to larger organizations.

It’s really for this reason that the websites of small to medium sized businesses are the most vulnerable.

So as the owner of an SMB yourself, you shouldn’t hesitate to ask yourself if your website’s security strategy is in need of any revamping or modifications.

But how do you know if your website’s security strategy needs to be reworked? If any of the following are are a reality:

1. You Lack A Security Response Plan

A response plan to a cyberattack is something that is vitally importnat for any business to have. At its heart, this means that an employee needs to know what to do when a breach does occur.

Be honest with yourself…

Have you asked yourself how you will respond when you suspect a cyberattack has occurred?

How will you find out which type of attack has occurred?

How will you know the full extent of the damage?

And how will you take action to ensure that this never happens again?

In short, what you need is a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan. A good plan will secure participation from the key stakeholders, assign roles to your employees, ensure proper communication, and run tests and exercise on a regular basis.

2. You’re Not Automating Security Updates

Automating security updates of your website or blogging plugins, your themes, software, and so on is a good way for you to keep your security fully up to date while also requiring very minimal work to you.

In order to automate the scanning and patching of your website’s various features, you’ll need to either implement a security solution over your website that gives you this capability, or otherwise partner with an outside vendor who can do this for you.

Remember, so long as your themes, software, plugins, and so on are from reputable developers, they will consistently be working around the clock to ensure that their programs are kept up to date from a security standpoint.

Running automatic updates ensures that your website is kept safe as soon as a new update is made.

3. You’re Not Using Firewalls

Your firewall, or a network security system designed to prevent unauthorized access to your website, is your first line of defense against hackers.

In fact, the FCC goes as far as to recommend that all small to medium sized businesses set up a firewall over their networks in order to create a wall between cyber attackers and your data.

You’ll want to have both a standard external firewall as well as internal firewalls for an extra level of protection. All in all, if you don’t have a firewall set up, that’s a clear sign that the security of your website is very weak at best.

4. You Haven’t Backed Up Your Data

What happens if your website is hacked and shut down?

That’s right, you’re going to lose all of your data.

But you won’t lose all of it if you take action to backup your website instead.

You need to create backups of your website regularly, and you also need to store those backups in multiple locations.

You can backup your website in a number of ways, including by using a plugin (such as UpdraftPlus if your site is run on WordPress), using your web host, or by using the cloud. If anything, you should be storing more than just one backup.

5. You Haven’t Trained or Educated Your Employees

Last but not least, you can know all there is to know about cybersecurity, but what about your employees.

A basic rule at your company needs to be that any employee accessing your network need to be taught and informed on good network security practices and receive updates on protocols. Most employees (and people in general), lacking direction, will use whatever software they are most comfortable with.

That could mean common out of the box applications by Microsoft or Apple, or it could mean any number of open source tools. In either case, many popular apps – whether paid or free – are fraught with security holes. To ensure that employees use the right software, they must be trained and re-trained. (They need “updates” too!)

Without You should also have your employees sign documents confirming that they have been taught your security practices and understand the ramifications that will come with failing to follow the security policies of your company.

Conclusion

To conclude, if you’re currently making any of the above mistakes, then your website security strategy is probably in dire need of some fixing.

Website security is so important because hackers are becoming more advanced in their methods day by day. And since small to medium sized businesses are currently the biggest target for hackers, it is absolutely critical that cyber security be a top priority for you.
