Welcome to our blog post where we delve into the advanced features of the Newsomatic plugin. In this YouTube video, we will walk you through the various options and functionalities that this plugin offers. While the basics won’t be covered here, such as obtaining an API key, we will focus on manipulating the advanced settings within the plugin.
One of the key features showcased in the video is the ability to import content from new sources. With a simple selection, you can choose a source like TechCrunch and import three posts every 24 hours. You have the flexibility to set the post status as moderate, pending, draft, publish, private, or trash. Additionally, you can choose the post type, whether it be a post, page, or any custom post type.
Customization is at your fingertips when it comes to generating post titles. You can utilize different short codes to personalize your titles. For example, you can incorporate the “news” tag and include the imported title from the news source. The post content can also be customized to include the item content and a “read more” button, although this can be omitted if desired.
Furthermore, the Newsomatic plugin provides advanced short codes like item media, custom HTML, and random sentence generation. These options allow you to enhance the visual appeal and variety of your posts. You can also include the item date, title, and plain text content to suit your preferences. Additionally, the plugin enables you to include the item URL, image URL, category tags, and options for showing images and outdoor links.
While the default search query string allows you to import posts from specific sources like BBC News or TechCrunch, the plugin provides the option to continuously update your blog with the latest news or import older content as well.
Moreover, the plugin offers the choice to select the country from where you want to source news, and you can customize the post format and categories accordingly. If desired, you can limit the word count of titles and content, ensuring the generated posts adhere to your desired length. Additionally, the automatic generation of post excerpts can be disabled.

– Introduction to the Newsomatic plugin’s advanced features
In the advanced features of the Newsomatic plugin, you can easily import content from various news sources. Simply select a source, like TechCrunch, and specify the number of posts you want to import and how often you want the import to occur. You can choose to have the posts published immediately or saved as drafts, private, or in the trash.
When importing news articles, you have full control over the post titles. You can use different shortcodes to customize the titles and even add a prefix like “News” to all generated titles. The post content will include the main article content and a “read more” button if desired. You can also delete the “read more” button if you don’t want to include a link back to the source.
The Newsomatic plugin also offers advanced shortcodes, such as item media, custom HTML, and random sentences. These can enhance the appearance and functionality of your imported posts. Additionally, you have the option to include the publication date, URL, image URL, tags, and category for each post. You can even choose to limit the word count for titles and content, and disable the automatic generation of post excerpts.
With the Newsomatic plugin’s advanced features, you have the flexibility to import and customize news articles from various sources, giving your website a dynamic and engaging content.
– Importing content from a new source and customizing options
In the advanced features of the new somatic plugin, you have the ability to import content from a new source and customize various options. To import content from a new source, simply select the desired source from the list. For example, you can choose TechCrunch. You can then specify the number of posts you want to import from TechCrunch every 24 hours.
After selecting a source, you can determine the post status, such as moderate, pending, draft, publish, private or trash, for the imported posts. You can also define the item type as a post, page, or any custom post type. The plugin allows you to generate post titles using different shortcodes and customize the title format. For instance, you can add the prefix “News” to all titles generated by the plugin. Additionally, the post content can include a “Read More” button for linking back to the original source. If desired, you can remove the “Read More” button.
The plugin provides advanced shortcodes for manipulating post content, such as item media, custom HTML, and random sentences. These options can be explored in more detail in separate tutorial videos. You can also define search queries to import specific content from a particular source, like BBC News or TechCrunch. Furthermore, you can choose to continuously update and import the latest news, or include older content as well. The generated posts can be filtered by country, and you can choose specific categories or opt for any category.
To tailor the post display, you can limit the word count for the title and content of the generated posts. The plugin allows you to disable the automatic generation of post excerpts if desired. Additionally, you have the option to select post formats and categories for the imported content. With these customizable options, the new somatic plugin simplifies the process of importing and customizing content from different sources.
– Manipulating post titles and content with shortcodes
In the advanced tutorial section of this video, we will explore how to manipulate post titles and content using shortcodes with the new somatic plugin. To import content from a new source, simply select the desired source - let’s say TechCrunch. You can choose to import a certain number of posts from TechCrunch every 24 hours, and these posts can be set to various statuses such as pending, draft, publish, private, or trash. Additionally, you can specify whether the imported items should be in the form of a post, page, or any custom post type you prefer.
When it comes to generating post titles, the plugin offers the flexibility to use different shortcodes. For example, you can define a title format with a shortcode like [minute], which will dynamically include the current minute in the title. Furthermore, you can add a specific tag, in this case “News,” to all titles generated by the plugin. As for the post content, it can include the item content and a “Read more” button if desired. If you prefer not to have the “Read more” button, it can be easily removed. The plugin also provides advanced shortcodes including item media, custom HTML, and random sentences, which we will explore in other videos.
Moving on, let’s leave the search query string blank for now since we’re configuring the TechCrunch source. By leaving it blank, all posts will be imported from TechCrunch. The continuous content posting checkbox is useful if you want to regularly import the latest news updates. However, if you wish to include older content in each import run, you can uncheck this checkbox. Optionally, you can select a specific country from where you want to import news, although this is only relevant when selecting a direct news source. Additionally, you can choose specific categories to be imported or select “Any” to include all categories.
If you want to limit the word count in the post titles or content, the plugin provides options to specify the desired word count. By setting a limit, the plugin will automatically strip any excess words from the titles or content. Furthermore, if you prefer to manually generate the excerpts for your posts, you can disable the post excerpt generation. Finally, you have the ability to select post formats and categories for the imported content, giving you complete control over the appearance and organization of your posts.
– Configuring advanced settings for continuous content import
In the advanced settings for continuous content import, you have the option to select the source from where you want to import content. For example, you can choose a source like TechCrunch. Additionally, you can specify the number of posts you want to import and the time interval for importing them (e.g., 3 posts every 24 hours). You can also define the moderation status of the imported posts, such as publish, pending, draft, private, or trash. Furthermore, you can choose the item type for the imported posts, whether it’s a standard blog post, a page, or any custom post type.
To enhance the generated post titles, you have the flexibility to use different shortcodes. For instance, you can include a shortcode that adds the tag “news” to all the titles imported from the news source. Additionally, you can define the structure of the post title. For example, you can include the current minute in the title by using a specific shortcode. The post content can include various elements, such as the item content and a “read more” button. If desired, you can remove the “read more” button to avoid linking back to the source. Furthermore, there are advanced shortcodes available for custom HTML, random sentences, media items, and more.
Other options in the advanced settings include the ability to specify a search query string to filter the imported content. This is useful when importing from sources like BBC News or TechCrunch. Additionally, you can choose whether to continuously post content to your blog or import both the latest and older content on each run. You can also select the country from where you want to retrieve news, although this option is relevant only for certain sources. Furthermore, you have the option to strip images from the content and limit the word count for both the title and the content of the generated posts. Finally, you can choose whether to automatically generate post excerpts or disable them if you prefer to create them manually.
