And we should point out that while there’s potential for misuse of this as a spam or splog tool, where people could automatically republish content without the authors permission, there’s a huge amount of legitimate uses that this plugin can and will be put to.

Usage

Start by reading Installing plugins section in our comprehensive WordPress and WordPress Multisite Manualif you are new to WordPress.

To install:

1.  Download the plugin file
2.  Unzip the file into a folder on your hard drive
3.  Upload /autoblog/ folder to /wp-content/plugins/folder on your site
4.  Login to your admin panel for WordPress or Multisite and activate the plugin:

  • On regular WordPress installs – visit Plugins and Activate the plugin.
  • For WordPress Multisite installs – Activate it blog-by-blog (say if you wanted to make it a Supporter premium plugin), or visit Network Admin -> Plugins and Network Activate the plugin.

Note: If you have an older version of the plugin installed in /mu-plugins/ please delete it to avoid errors.

Now you should see the Autoblog menu towards the bottom of the left hand side main menu.   If not, then please follow these instructions: The plugin attempts to create a database table. If it isn’t automatically created then you need to run the following SQL on your database:

CREATE TABLE wp_autoblog ( feed_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, site_id bigint(20) default NULL, blog_id bigint(20) default NULL, feed_meta text, active int(11) default NULL, nextcheck bigint(20) default NULL, lastupdated bigint(20) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY ( feed_id), KEY site_id (site_id), KEY blog_id (blog_id), KEY nextcheck (nextcheck) )

*If you are using the Multi-db system then you need to create the table in your global database and ensure you have added the “autoblog” table as a global table in your configuration file.

Last step is to make sure to Process your Feed. After setting up the feed with all its options, go to the menu listing all your feeds. Select “Process” so that it will update your entries:

process-feed

To Use:

Add new feeds by going to Dashboard >> Network Admin >> Auto Blog >> Add New.
From there you can configure the feed address, assign it to a particular site in your Multisite network, and set up all of the options for the feed.
