WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 2.9.2Latest
- Recommended security update for all users. Tested up to WordPress 7.2.
- Security: Feed addresses are checked against every address their host resolves to, over IPv4 and IPv6, for a scheduled run, an external cron, a manual “Run Now”, the previews and the feed tests. Thanks to Aita Avela for reporting.
- Security: The categories of a campaign are saved as category IDs, and everything the campaigns list shows about a campaign is escaped on screen.
- Improved: The Licenses screen shows only the last four characters of each license key, and a key you did not change is kept as it is when you save.
- Improved: Saving a license key activates this site for updates and support, and replacing a key releases the activation of the old one. Check License, Activate License and Deactivate License show what the store answered and the new state of the license.
- Improved: The Licenses screen asks the store about your licenses once every twelve hours, or when you press a button, so the screen opens at once. Licenses with unlimited activations show their account data.
- Improved: The Renew and Extend links of the Licenses screen open the checkout of the add-on’s own product, and a lifetime license offers no renewal.
- Improved: A valid license shows the state “Activated for updates” and Deactivate License; Check License appears for a license that is not valid, and the store is asked at most once every ten seconds for each add-on.
- Improved: The Add-Ons screen reminds you that WPeMatico does not update automatically only while a WPeMatico update is waiting, which is when the add-ons wait for it.
- Improved: WordPress finds the updates of your add-ons also when it checks in the background, and the Licenses screen is for administrators only.
- Improved: WPeMatico starts cleanly on servers that reach the plugin folder through a symbolic link.
- Performance: Every tab of the Settings screen opens at once: the highlights of the latest release are kept for twelve hours instead of being requested from wpematico.com on each visit.
WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 2.9.1
- Recommended security update for all users. With the default settings, the content of every imported post now follows the same HTML rules WordPress applies to the posts of your authors. Text, images, galleries, videos, audio, tables and formatting are published as the feed sends them; scripts, forms…
- Security: Imported content is checked against the HTML WordPress allows in a post, the same way for a scheduled run, an external cron or a manual “Run Now”. This covers the content, the title, the excerpt and every post template tag that carries text from the feed, and the campaign log shows the ti…
- Improved: Posts from social networks inside a feed’s content — X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Bluesky, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr and Facebook — are published with each network’s official embed.
- Performance: Images that the source site loads lazily are published with their real address, so every visit loads each image with a single request.
- New: Google News campaign type. Publish the news of a Google News search, topic or publication: paste the address from your browser and the campaign finds its feed on its own. Each post gets the headline as the publication wrote it, and the name and the address of the publication are saved with the…
- New: Six more languages. WPeMatico now also speaks Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Turkish and Vietnamese: every screen, tooltip, Help tab and campaign log line.
- Improved: German, French, Dutch, Greek, Persian, Slovak, Romanian, Arabic, Chinese and the Latin American Spanish translations now use the official WordPress wording of each language, so WPeMatico reads like the rest of your admin.
- Improved: The WPeMatico menu stays open on Campaigns while you edit a campaign.
- For developers: the wpematico_item_permalink filter sets the address a post is read from and linked to, once per item about to be published.
- For developers: the wpematico_feed_allowed_html filter sets the tags and attributes an imported post keeps, and wpematico_feed_embed_scripts the social network scripts it may load.
WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 2.9
- Major Version 2.9 renews the whole interface and lays the foundations for 3.0: a Dashboard to switch every feature on and off, a Settings screen that explains every option, new tools to inspect feeds and to move in from other plugins, and WPeMatico in eleven languages together with all its extensio…
- A Dashboard for every feature. One card per feature, grouped by what it does (Images, SEO, Campaign Types, Content Parsers, Third party…). Each card says what its switch will do before you touch it, installs the free plugins it needs from WordPress.org, starts an add-on you already own, and reads t…
- New campaign type: Vimeo. Publish the videos of a Vimeo user, channel or group: paste the address and the campaign finds its feed on its own. Each post gets the title, the thumbnail, the player and the description, with the thumbnail stored in the Media Library and ready to be the featured image. F…
- Migration Toolkit: move in from Feedzy RSS Feeds and WP RSS Aggregator. Imports their feeds as WPeMatico campaigns, with their filters, fallback images, translations and rewrites carried to the matching add-on, and adopts the posts they already published so nothing is published twice. Pages that em…
- WPeMatico speaks eleven languages, and so does every extension. Spanish with its eleven regional variants, German, French, Dutch, Greek, Persian, Russian, Slovak, Romanian, Arabic and Chinese: every screen, tooltip, Help tab and campaign log line, for the plugin and for all fifteen extensions.
- Two dashboard widgets. WPeMatico Summary opens with posts today, active campaigns, next run and posts all time, over a seven-day chart, with the detail behind three tabs: Recent, Up next and Needs a look. WPeMatico News brings the latest from the blog, cached so it never slows your dashboard down.
- Feed List and Feed Viewer in Tools. Feed List shows every feed of every campaign in a native WordPress list, with search, sorting and paging. Feed Viewer inspects any address and tells you what came back: a feed and its items, a page that is not a feed, or the reason it could not be reached.
- Guided tours. The first time you open each WPeMatico screen, a short tour shows where everything is and what to do first. Skip it, end it, or turn the tours off for your user, and replay any of them from the Help tab.
- WPeMatico has its own menu. Dashboard, Campaigns, Settings, Tools and Extensions sit together under the WPeMatico entry of the admin menu.
- Every setting says what it does. A short name for each option, one or two sentences on what turning it on changes, and the full detail in the Help tab of each screen. Settings is split into sections, keeps you in the section you saved, and each extension has its own tab with its own sidebar.
- Campaigns list: Quick Edit and Bulk Edit on one screen. Quick Edit fits in a third of the space and writes only what its form shows. Bulk Edit sets post type, status, post format and the campaign options on many campaigns at once, and every field starts at — No change —, so only what you pick is ap…
- Campaign Preview works on every campaign type, lists exactly the items the next run will publish, and leaves paid rewriting services alone: the text is rewritten once, when the post is published.
- XML campaigns read sitemaps, Atom files and any namespaced XML, and an unreadable file is reported in the campaign log.
- System Status opens instantly and tells the truth. The connection test runs once the page is up, the checks follow what WPeMatico really requires, the hosting provider is recognised (WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Cloudways, Local and more), and a new check names the HTML Tidy builds that break imp…
- Add-Ons page. The free add-ons install from WordPress.org right there, every membership is listed, search narrows the list as you type, every bulk action reports its result, and the page opens in seconds even when the store is slow to answer.
- Add-ons update after WPeMatico, never before it, and every screen that shows an update says why one is waiting: the licence state, with a renewal link that carries your key, or the WPeMatico update that has to go first. Turning an add-on’s automatic updates on turns WPeMatico’s on too.
- Campaign settings belong to their add-on. Editing a campaign while an add-on is deactivated keeps every setting that add-on stored, ready for when it comes back.
- “Delete all data” leaves nothing behind: every option and cached value WPeMatico owns, licence keys included. Your licences stay active in your account at the store.
- About and Getting Started rewritten for 2.9, with Getting Started taking you to a running campaign in three steps.
- Various UI/UX improvements throughout: vector logo, one colour scheme for the Settings menu, list tables that follow WordPress 7, readable System Status tables.
- Tested with WordPress 7.1 to ensure full compatibility.
- Campaign types live one per file under includes/campaign-types/, built only on the public hooks. A type whose source is a feed declares itself in wpematico_rss_campaign_types and inherits the whole standard fetch; wpematico_custom_simplepie works on its own for the rest.
- Modules: register a Dashboard card with the wpematico_modules filter; option or pro_option bind the card to a setting.
- Campaign fields: wpematico_campaign_addon_fields (pro_check_campaigndata keeps firing), wpematico_check_campaigndata takes a $strict argument for saving, and WPeMatico::update_campaign() keeps stored fields unless $replace is passed.
- New filters: wpematico_post_parent, wpematico_create_autocat, wpematico_blocked_insert_count, wpematico_fetch_posts_summary, wpematico_campaign_count_column, wpematico_campaign_count_row_meta_keys, wpematico_sidebar_widgets, wpematico_settings_widgets, wpematico_vimeo_metabox_options, wpematico_get…
- NOTE: WPeMatico 2.9 needs the add-on versions released with it. Update your add-ons before updating WPeMatico: Professional 3.7, Full Content 2.9.4, Better Excerpts 3.6, Custom Hooks 1.4, Exporter 1.6, Facebook Fetcher 3.4, GPT Spinner 3.5.2, Make me Feed Good 2.13, Manual Fetching 1.2, Office Camp…
- NOTE2: The WPeMatico screens moved to their own menu, so bookmarks to its Settings or Tools pages need saving again.
- NOTE3: The plugin files moved from app/ to includes/ and assets/. Custom code that loads a WPeMatico file by its path needs the new one.
WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 2.8.27
- Recommended security update for all users.
- Improved: A feed that answers with a redirect is now read from the address it points to only when that address is one a feed may live on, the same rule the address stored in the campaign goes through. Feeds that move to another address, to https:// or to a syndication service keep working exactly a…
- Improved: The addresses a feed may not live on now also cover the ranges reserved for documentation, benchmarking and network transition, and the IPv6 forms that stand for an IPv4 address. Sites that read feeds from their own network keep doing so with the “Allow feeds on private and local addresse…
- Improved: Feeds published by this same site are fetched with no configuration, as before, on the addresses a site answers on.
- Improved: The post type a campaign publishes to is now stored in the one spelling WordPress registers it under, so the post status, the post author and the markup an imported post keeps are always settled against that type and the rights of the user saving the campaign. Bulk editing campaigns follo…
- Improved: Feed addresses are resolved once per host and per run, so a campaign with several feeds on the same site, and a multipage feed, do less work than before.
