WP Automatic Plugin – Auto-Post from Feeds, APIs & Websites to WordPress

WP Automatic checks your sources on a schedule and turns new items into WordPress posts. It can expand truncated feeds to full text (where permitted), capture media and metadata, and preserve original timestamps—ideal for news curation, video hubs, knowledge bases, and multi-site syndication.

Core Capabilities

• Feeds → Posts: Monitor multiple RSS/Atom feeds and publish new items automatically.

• Full-Text Expansion: Turn summary feeds into full articles where allowed.

• Targeted Extraction: Pull content by CSS selector, XPath, or RegEx from one or more regions, then merge into your post.

• Featured Images: Auto-set thumbnails from page images or Open Graph.

• Taxonomies & Authors: Map or auto-create categories, tags, and authors from source data.

• Original Timestamps: Keep the source’s publication date/time.

• Search & Replace: Clean titles/body with find/replace rules (remove boilerplate, fix spacing, add disclaimers, etc.).

• Quality Gates:

  • Skip empty posts or posts without images

  • Skip suspected non-English items

  • Prevent duplicates by title/URL

  • Option to publish oldest first

• Clean Output: Decode HTML entities and normalize encodings to UTF-8.

• Scheduling: Run imports at intervals that fit your server and editorial workflow.

Popular Use Cases

• News/Blog curation: Aggregate industry updates into drafts for editor review.

• Video roundups: Publish embeds with titles, thumbnails, and descriptions via official APIs.

• Resource libraries: Consolidate announcements, docs, and changelogs into a searchable archive.

• Private networks: Mirror approved content across multiple owned sites with proper canonical links.

Use Responsibly (avoid copyright issues)

Keep this block on your listing to protect yourself:

• Respect rights & licenses: Only republish full text/media when you have permission or a compatible license. Otherwise, import excerpts and link clearly to the original.

• Follow site/API terms: Comply with each site’s Terms of Use, robots.txt, and API rate limits. Prefer official APIs when available.

• Canonical/noindex: For syndicated content, consider canonical to the source and/or noindex to avoid duplicate-content conflicts.

• Attribute clearly: Show the original site/author and a visible backlink.

• Moderate before publish: Send imports to Draft/Pending for review when in doubt.

• Replace demo assets: Swap any sample logos/media with assets you own or have licensed.

FAQ

Can it always get full text from any site?
No. Some sites block full-text extraction. Use official APIs where available or import excerpts and link to the source.

Use unique titles/intros, add commentary, set canonical to the original when appropriate, or set imported posts to noindex. Always include clear attribution.

Will it auto-add images as featured images?
Yes—via page images or OG tags—if present and permitted.
