First Install & testing requirements Video

Filling the Settings Video

Creating a Campaign Video

I have this plugin installed and activated. What must I do now ?

  • OK, in WordPress admin you should see now a new area below the posts called WPeMatico. At settings, setup the plugin configuration. At Campaigns you must add one. There, add one or several feeds of your choice. You can use a campaign for grouping the feeds for a category or another custom topic that you want.

Upgrading FREE or PRO versions

  • You can make an automatic upgrade from WordPress plugins page or replace files through FTP.

Is there any way to import embedded videos from feed content and add that code into my posts?

  • To allow video embeds in post content, you must add the tags ‘iframe’ and ’embed’ in Simplepie library into WPeMatico Settings. See below:

  • Change SimplePie HTML tags to strip

base,blink,body,doctype,font,form,frame,frameset,html,input,marquee,

meta,noscript,object,param,script,style
