about WP-Autoblog

[DennisJ]

ok i installed the plugin
i take a sponsor and saw the rss feed linkcodes

i grab the feed://www.etc....... linkcodes and put them on the left box, one per line,

my question is how do i know if the plugin is working?

notes:
no, the blog isnt moving or grabbing the feeds...
also yes, i clicked on save settings, and run script now.

reads something like..
Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch (feed:this.is.the.linkcode) (HTTP Error: Invalid protocol "feed") in (this.is.the.location.of.the.file.) on line 237

im on wordpress 2.1 and latest WP-autoblog

cheers,

You only want to paste in the http:// part of the url. Remove feed: and it should work.

First try validating the feed. You can do that at a number of places...this happens to be the one I use; http://feedvalidator.org/

If the feed validates then you have a unique problem as I have not read anything about people having this particular problem with the WP2.1 and WP-Autoblog. I did find a little something in the WP support forum but that seemed to be around atom type feeds. You can read it here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/104330

got it working
thanks everyone
1. by the way which feed linkcodes should i use? normal or hosted?
2. also theres a line on WP-Autoblog, "give atribution to the original author" , is it yes or no? on that dropbox?

3. last question im adding feeds to the plugin, but each time i add one, i get tons of post, as in old post from the sponsors. is it ok, or im i pissing the search engines?

4. the sponsor send me the feeds, but then it post it on the first category it sees on my blog, how do i "organize" the post to get into its category.?
