Rss to Wordpress script needed

[jdk]

I am looking for a script that will take RSS feeds and turn them into posts on a wordpress blog. Right now I have one but it does not do a good job adding pictures or linking back to the original article it came from.

Any suggestions?

ditto to Rohan... wp-o-matic very powerful and free (and created by a teenager from Brasil I think)

Feedpress something is what i am using now and it isnt that great.

I will try the wp-o-matic and see how that works out.

If anyone has any others I would be curious to know which so I can find the best one. Thanks to all.

for my 2.7 version I stated using wp-o-matic and I have the same issue you were reporting.

Please let me know if you find an answer or if you make it work Ok.

I do not see continue reading on the post and when you click on the article title I get to see that link.
but it is not going anywhere.

May be a setting I am missing. or issue in 2.7

I am using it here

Definitely recommend WP-O-Matic- It would be preferable if there was a way to get it to give you only the "summary" part of the feed and not post the whole article (or, when that's not available, just post the first 500 characters or something). But it does have pretty powerful settings. By way of example of what it can do, I hooked it up to a WPMU install on wordpress, and am running it on
http://windowshometheater.com (~$5 a month)

This plugin, in combination with an SEO-and-Adsense-optimized wordpress template, is easier to generate traffic for than relying on type-in (say, for standard parking sites like namedrive)

The only problem I am having with it is that it is requiring the use of firefox or safari to set up (and converts all of my plug-ins to require firefox usage). I dumped it then because I simply have too much invested in IE at the moment in terms of bookmarks and toolbars.

Do you know if you need to use the specific browsers to do settings once the initial install is in? TIA

whitey59-

I just tried, it announced that I need to switch to firefox or safari. Lame!

What I can tell you, though, is that wp-o-matic is pretty set-it-and-forget-it. Once you get all the feeds added, and your settings configured, you never have to touch it again. I haven't logged in to my admin in months, and I'm still getting several posts a day.

if you ever feel like making the switch to Firefox, it'll import your bookmarks for you, and several of the popular toolbars (I don't know which ones you're attached to) are available for multiple browsers. So it wouldn't be as difficult as you think

If that doesn't work for you, you can always try "rss to blog" or feedpress.

Best of luck!

do u have to set a cron job for wp-o-matic to pull the feeds?

Yes and no. A cronjob is the easiest way. If you do not have access to setting a cronjob, they have two alternative methods. I prefer cronjobs so I did really not read closely what is required for the alternatives.

I think content created these scripts will not be indexed by google as they are duplicated content.

Promising. But it will still create duplicate content and will got problems with google indexing?

Caffeinated Content grab the contents from Yahoo Answers.
I've tried several solutions but CC is the best (with a little optimization and keys research).

Set CC to post only 2/3 article max/day or big G will see this is an automatic plugin.

This plugin transform your Caffeinated Content posts in "original posts" so you are ok with search engines.

not true...

I use a free plugin called FeedWordpress. It does the trick.

We have used Wp-o-matic, FeedWordPress but have now pretty much standardized on Autoblogged.
