Jump duplicate posts

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.

There are several cache plugins for WordPress but they really have so many options that make your head ache and there is always problems with them. Because of it, we’ve decided to develop an easy plugin, practical and fast, with a good performance and optimized 

WPeMatico FREE & PRO versions 1.2.5.1 released

WPeMatico FREE & PRO versions 1.2.5.1 released

Since version 1.2 there have been several releases of WPeMatico FREE & PRO plugins, testing the automatic updates and many other new features that were added to the free version and the Premium.

Notable among these are true functions using CURL optionally for obtaining remote files either for full content or images. Testing several alternative methods if any fails.
Better treatment of image names in repeated files is also achieved.
The title links to the source site was broken with new filters added in the last WordPress theme and this was also solved.
Also solve some fields with regular expressions were saved wrong.
Custom filters are added to extend the capabilities of the plugin. So you can modify the file extensions allowed, the names of the images obtained, as well as the fields before inserting the post. (There is an example at the end of this post to remove HTML tags from the titles of the posts.)

Password encryption is added to the Settings page in the case of sending emails using SMTP. But because of this many servers began to treat this file as a hack attempt and erased the file settings_page.php

This was very frustrating as looking plugin security, this file was treated as infectious and deleted without notice in many cases.
To solve this new functions were created to encrypt and decrypt the password. Thus removing false positives given by the antivirus.

In this latest version 1.2.5.1 white screen that was obtained in the Settings page, in smaller versions of PHP 5.4 is solved. This error was taken for a PHP function used in the page that started in the PHP version 5.4 and then was replaced by a custom function.

 


 

In the wordpress support forums they were asked to remove HTML tags that bring the titles of some feed.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strip-out-html-tags-in-rss-feed-title

This feature is included in the PRO version, and you can select the option within each campaign. But you can also do with a specific function for new filters added, as follows:

Functions.php file in your wordpress theme, add the following code:

add_filter('wpem_parse_title',  'strip_tags_title',10,1 );
function strip_tags_title($title) {
	$title = strip_tags( htmlspecialchars_decode($title, ENT_QUOTES) );
	return $title;
}
