Wordpress - WP-o-Matic

[japamor]

I've installed WP-o-Matic on a wordpress blog and loaded some feeds but I can't schedule it to load the feeds one by one. I press 'fetch' and the whole feed - 15 or 20 or more posts - gets inserted instead of just one post.
Anyone use WP-o-Matic or can point me to a tutorial?
Thanks in advance. :)

Thats just what it does the first time you load it up...Did you setup a cronjob?

I am using it on one blog to test it. There is not really any documentation. When a sponsor has 10 feeds on 1 day they will all be fetched in one cronjob run. No matter what your cronjob is like. Also the rewrite option doesn't work for me. I even had to change some code because in WP 2.3 some files are on a different location or have different names. I think it could be a great plugin but it needs some finetuning( it's still a RC version ) and a lot of documentation.

Good luck with it and keep an eye on the developers homepage.

I tried WP-O-Matic and decided against it for precicely the reasons you mention; too little control. If you want the ultimate in control and convenience check out Blogs Automater (http://www.blogsautomater.com/). It's not free like WP plugins, but well worth the money IMO if you plan on setting up a RSS fed splog network.

Thanks all for the feedback. I guess WP-O-Matic is not all its cracked up to be. At least not yet.

I just installed the newest version. It works better now with wp 2.3. Still some errors now and then but the rewrite option seems to work. I think for a free plugin it is getting very interesting. Other software will cost you $200 or more.
