By default, AutoBlogged uses the original post title as the post for each new WordPress post it creates. However, you can customize how the title appears using our Custom Fields feature.

To do this, create a new custom field named title (note that it is lower case). For the Custom Field Value, you can enter anything you want. What makes this feature so powerful is that you can use the full AutoBlogged Post Template syntax here to include variables, use random values, or even use conditional values.

Here are some examples:

If you have come up with any cool title templates, please comment below, we’d love to see what you have!

We often see our software for sell in forums or even other web sites. We use a number of google searches in our own internal autoblog to keep an eye out for these as they pop up. Some of these sellers are selling their own legitimate license they are no longer using, which they are allowed to do, although many are also selling invalid licenses for our software to honest and unsuspecting buyers.

To assist and protect those buying or selling used AutoBlogged licenses, we decided to publish a few guidelines.

Is the Seller Authorized?

If you want to be sure someone is authorized to sell our software, here is a quick test:

1. No one is allowed to sell our software by itself, although those with developer licenses can sell you a license only when bundled with a developed site.

2. Anyone selling multiple copies of our software certainly isn’t authorized to do so.

3. Anyone who claims to be an authorized reseller definitely is not authorized to sell our software. We only have affiliates that get commissions from sales they refer to us.

4. If someone claims to have an AutoBlogged unlimited license, they do not have the rights to sell or sublicense it to others.

5. If someone is selling and transferring their own license that they are no longer using, you can verify they have a valid license by sending us their full name and/or paypal address to licensing@autoblogged.com and we will verify it for you.

5. After the sale, if you do not receive an e-mail from us with a new serial number, the license you purchased is not valid.

6. We try to monitor popular forums for unauthorized sales of our software, but if you spot one we aren’t aware of and report it to us, we will reward you with your own single-site license for free.

Transferring a License

Here is the proper procedure for transferring an AutoBlogged license:

1. Anyone can sell or transfer their AutoBlogged license to another party but in doing so they will no longer have any rights to use AutoBlogged.

2. When selling a license, you can tell potential buyers they can send an e-mail to licensing@autoblogged and mention your e-mail address (the one you used to purchase)  or full name to verify that the license is valid.

3. After a sale is complete, please send an e-mail to licensing@autoblogged.com with your name and serial number along with the buyer’s name and e-mail address and we will promptly issue them a new license in their own name. At that point your license will no longer be valid.

If you have more questions about licensing, please see our licensing FAQ or open a new support ticket.

On a final note, as a software company we realize that software piracy is unavoidable and like other software companies we are forced to accept that as part of the cost of doing business. Nevertheless, its just not cool to be making money selling our software, and it’s totally lame of you to rip off unsuspecting and honest buyers.

Although the AutoBlogged admin panel is only in English, the autoblogging features should work with feeds in other languages as long as your platform supports the character sets.

The autotagging engine is optimized for English content, but will at least partially work with other languages. To improve autotagging in other languages you can modify the tags.txt and notags.txt files.

Issue

You may find that AutoBlogged is not posting the latest posts from a feed. This usually occurs when the feed is cached and is not showing the latest updates.

Solutions

• Some large sites will cache their RSS feeds, particularly if you retrieve the feed too often. Try reducing your update frequency. If that doesn’t help, there may not be much you can do.
• If you are using a complex Yahoo! Pipes feed, you may not always be receiving the latest copy due to the time it takes to process the feed. Try subscribing to that feed using various RSS readers to keep the feed freshly updated.
• Set the RSS cache timeout to zero (“0″) on the AutoBlogged Settings page

AutoBlogged at this time only works with a WordPress installation that you control. Note that it will not work on free WordPress hosts such as wordpress.com where you cannot install custom plugins.

We are considering versions of AutoBlogged that work with other platforms, so if you have a specific request, please comment below.

To send us your blog configuration, go to the AutoBlogged admin page in WordPress and select the Support subpage. From there you can send in a support ticket. Below the message field are two options you can check to include your configuration: Attach system version info and Attach entire AutoBlogged configuration.

Note that if you already have an active ticket open with our support, you can reference that ticket number in the subject (i.e., ticket #2200).
