Why use WordPress Automatic Plugin?

If you manage niche sites, affiliate stores or content-heavy WordPress blogs, the WordPress Automatic Plugin removes repetitive work: it imports posts, videos and products from many sources and publishes them automatically using configurable templates and filters.
The plugin is popular for its broad source support (YouTube, RSS, Amazon, eBay, WooCommerce product feeds, custom sources) and advanced campaign controls.

Quick highlights

• Auto-post content from YouTube channels, RSS feeds, Amazon/eBay product pages, and more.
• Customizable post templates — map source fields to title, content, excerpt, tags, categories.
• Duplicate protection, throttling/scheduling, and filtering rules to maintain content quality.
• Integration options for affiliate monetization and featured image fetching.

What it can pull from (common sources)

1. YouTube — import videos as posts with embedded players and meta data.
2. RSS / Atom — fetch and republish items from feeds.
3. Amazon / eBay / AliExpress — product scraping for affiliate sites.
4. Keywords / Google Alerts — automatic discovery based on keywords (where supported).
5. Custom HTML / API — use templates for any HTML source or custom endpoint.

Step-by-step — Create a campaign (example: YouTube → posts)

Follow this short walkthrough to get a campaign up and running:

1. Install & activate the plugin in WordPress (Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin) or purchase from CodeCanyon and upload the ZIP. Always backup first.
2. Go to WP Automatic → Add New Campaign.
3. Set the Campaign Type to YouTube, paste the channel ID / playlist URL or enter a search keyword.
4. Configure the Post Template:

   Title: {source_title}
   Content: {source_content}
   Excerpt: Auto-imported from YouTube — {source_link}
   Tags: {video_tags}
   Featured image: {video_thumb}
           

5. Set scheduling: publish immediately, or set intervals (e.g., max 2 posts/day).
6. Enable duplicate detection and set filters (e.g., minimum views, exclude terms).
7. Preview a few items and then enable the campaign.

Yoast SEO tips when using auto-posted content

Automated content can hurt SEO if left unmonitored. Use Yoast to keep posts high quality:

• Unique SEO title — Use variables + custom text to avoid duplicate titles (e.g., {source_title} | {site_name}).
• Meta description — Summarize the auto-post and add a CTA for users to engage (e.g., “Watch the full video — details & timestamps inside.”).
• Focus keyphrase — Set one per post; consider a site-level list of high-priority keywords and map templates to include them.
• Readability — Yoast checks readability; add a short, unique introduction or personal note to each auto-post to boost quality.

Template example (copy into plugin Post Template field)

<h2>{source_title}</h2>
<p>Imported from <a href="{source_link}" target="_blank">YouTube</a> — original by {source_author}</p>
<div class="video">{video_embed}</div>
<h3>Summary</h3>
{auto_summary}
<hr/>
<h4>Timestamps / Notes</h4>
{video_description}
    

Best practices & safety checks

• Limit posting frequency — start with 1–2 posts/day while you test the campaign.
• Quality filter — require minimum video views or length, or exclude certain keywords.
• Unique intros — add a short unique paragraph at the top (you can use a small content spinner or manual edit) to avoid duplicate content flags.
• Monitor analytics — watch bounce rate and organic traffic; disable campaigns that underperform.
• Stay legal — make sure you have rights to republish content; attribute authors and follow affiliate program rules.

Pros & Cons

Common problems & fixes

Imported posts show no featured image

Enable ‘Auto set featured image’ in plugin settings or configure an image fallback.

Duplicate articles appear

Enable duplicate checking and raise the uniqueness threshold; also review campaigns for overlapping sources.

Low quality / thin content

Add manual intros or set the plugin to only import certain parts of the source (e.g., long descriptions) and use templates to expand content.

Performance & scaling

If you run many campaigns, schedule imports across hours and use server caching. Avoid launching dozens of campaigns at once on a small hosting plan — this can cause CPU spikes and DB bloat. Consider:

• Use WP-Cron alternatives (real cron) for scheduled tasks.
• Database cleanup: purge old logs and imported drafts you no longer need.
• Use a CDN for images and media to reduce server load.

Monetization ideas

• Auto-import product listings + affiliate links to create product review pages.
• Combine auto-posted videos with curated commentary and affiliate links in the content.
• Create topical hubs (category pages) from curated imports and drive internal linking.

Wrap up — Who should use this?

The plugin is ideal for site owners who need frequent content and have clear quality controls: affiliate marketers, content curators, and owners of niche news aggregator sites. If you plan to publish automatically on a large scale, treat automation like a tool — not a total replacement for editorial judgment.
