WPoMatic, few questions...

[Demon]

1) Is there any way to only have an excerpt of the post taken? At the moment wpomatic is pulling the entire post from the feed and publishing it on my blog.

2) If I want to transform words, must I open seperate boxes in the rewrite section? Also what the hell is 'regex'?

3)Finally, why do I get the following annoying crap at the end of my posts?

where you pulling the feeds?

you can modify it if you know PHP... i have done this myself.

you can use a plugin to rewrite the posts when wpomatic pulls them in

you can remove the garbage at the end too.. just edit the plugin in the plugin editor

To display only an excerpt, change:

<?php the_[B]content[/B]('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

to

<?php the_[B]excerpt[/B]('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

In index.php (in the loop). If you want only excerpts in the single post page as well, do the same in single.php.

Then go to wp-o-matic in your admin panel, edit your campaign, and go to the options tab. Check custom post template, and enter this:

{content}

<a href={permalink}>Read the full story</a>

Thanks a lot for that Lucidity, and what about my 2nd and 3rd question?

Regex is what will help you transform words

Its a bit tough to get the hang of, I think there is another plugin that can change words, it's in here somewhere WordPress Plugin Database

Finally, why do I get the following annoying crap at the end of my posts?

It looks like remnants of another plugin such as sociable or something.


I've never been able to run wp omatic with out errors or the html tags showing in posts. So I don't have much experience with it.

Like Beerhat, I have never been able to get it working 100% with all the features and no errors. Always, SOMETHING screws up. So I use FeedWordpress instead. It works better IMO but then again if you want to change the content (i.e. using that regex) you have to write that functionality yourself. (And I haven't.)

Just to tag along with the question, is there a plugin that can automatically link specific keywords to external sites?
