I may want to use this on a project, but it looks like it hasn’t been updated for a while…

Can I turn off the function to send rel=canonical?

Interested in your Pro Version but the link doesn’t work….

I am using WordPress version 4.9.8. Installed your plugin on “master’ site and the reader site following the instructions. Created a test post in the Syndication Post. Unfortunately it did not duplicate to the reader site.

Three questions:
1) When I click on view post on the Syndication post, it shows an error: Page Not found
2) On the Reader site, is there a way to select only a certain category to syndicate?
3) The link to your PRO version is not working – it just takes you to your home page.

Thanks!

My syndication seems to have stopped pulling posts in March. When I try to manually pull them, i receive and error.

I tried disabling the WordPress security plugin but that didn’t seem to help. I also reset the user information and double checked the settings.

I took a look at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/client-cant-connect/ and the post you linked to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14306674/i-am-getting-an-error-32300-transport-error-http-status-code-was-not-200

But I’m not sure what I need to do to get this connection back or what I need to even ask the host for. When I go to the site URLs/xmlrpc.php, i see a message that says “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.” Maybe this has something to do with it?

I looked at https://foliovision.com/2007/05/xml-rpc-server-wordpress-error but I’m not running php 5.2

I also looked to see if XMLRPC is disabled in my htaccess but don’t see anything indicating it is.

Hi Ben,

I posted this in another thread, but realize it might not get attention since that thread is already marked as Resolved. Here’s my question:

Related to this question (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/can-i-disable-auto-canonical-backlinks/), as a Pro version user, can you disable the canonical backlinks in a way that if you syndicate to 50 other websites, all of those sites will not contain the canonical backlink to the original site?

This is important for me in considering to purchase the Pro version now.

I was reading this page: https://benjaminmoody.com/downloads/content-syndication-toolkit-pro/ , and there is a section which states:

Automatically adds Canonical meta data as well as a link back to original content on your site (unless subscription category is exclusive).
Create Premium ‘Exclusive’ content categories. Content in these categories will be available to a single subscriber and is not Canonical, this content is only available on the selected client’s site.

—

This leads me to believe you can disable it for a single user, but can it be disable for all users so that when you make a new post on the source site, it can syndicate to all (example 50) recipient sites and not contain a canonical link.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Stone Evans

Dear Benjamin,

we are using your content syndication plugin and the import of blog entries works finde concerning text and formatting. We use enfold theme on master and client site with avia layout builder.

Unfortuantely the images of the blog content are missing on the client, please compare:

Master: https://lichtkult.de/wohndesign-trends/
Client: https://elektro-pollmeier.de/wohndesign-trends/

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Michael

Is the Pro version the only way to include the featured image for syndicated posts?

Hi Benjamin,

Is it possible to disable automatic link attribution to my original site?

I have WP multisite with 8 subsites. I created one post on the main site and pulled it from every subsite in order to test the Content Syndication. The pulls were successful, but since then I got an exhaused memory error, and it appears to be 1157095 (!!!) items in the wp_postmeta for this single post in the main site ( https://imgur.com/a/aWjCH ).

Hi there,

I’m trying out the free version to see if it’s a fit for a network I’m starting soon and am having trouble getting a basic sync between master site and client.

As per the instructions I’ve created a new syndication user on my site and setup their username / password credentials as the api account details. I’ve also set the url of my master site in the section above but I don’t get any posts and when I try to sync manually I get the error Access denied to server. Your subscription may not be active OR your login details are incorrect.

I’ve double-checked the username / password on the site and also have tried using /wp-admin/ in the url with no luck. Is there something else I’ve missed or is this maybe a 4.7.3 issue? This plugin doesn’t seem to have been updated in quite a while so it’s possible there are additional config items or instructions that are missing from the UI.

Hi there.

I trying this plugin, it works well if I pulled the content from my content server, but the content server doesn’t pushed the post. I checked the log on the reader client, and it says: transport error – could not open socket.

I can get from my content server the xmlrpc.php, it says: “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.”
I saved the post on my content server but there is no a log.

Could you help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I’ve set up your plugin on a couple of test websites and am having trouble auto pushing posts to the receiving website when they are published on the master site.

If I manually pull from the receiving website the posts are correctly added.

Any ideas where I should start looking for the problem?

Thanks

Select post type you wish to syndicate.

If I set things up as SYNDICATION POSTS it works fine.

BUT If I say to syndicate: POST (WP Blog Post) it gives an error:

Problem contacting server. Please check API Username and Password

I don’t want to have to create the content 2x’s on my main website. I’d like to just syndicate the information for my general posts.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

I am having an issue setting up the plugin on my WPEngine server. I get the following error via email from the receiving blog.

Here is the error message:

“Problem contacting the server. Please confirm your API Username and Password are correct. Error: transport error – HTTP status code was not 200 CODE: -32300”

Can you help me out?

Thanks!

I’m curious if you have any plans to fix this?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

I would like your help resolving a plugin conflict issue that is stemming from ACF. I’m willing to pay for your help, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

I use a /%category%/%postname%/ permalink. Unfortunately the “This article was first published on https://mysite.com/.” link on the syndicated page drops the %category% part so I get a 404 page error on the link. I can fix it if I go to the client and modify the pcst_canonical_permalink custom field which does not automatically include the %category%. Other than modifying the client what can I do to make the back link work??

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

So now I load Content Syndication Reader into a ‘virgin’ WordPress site: C.S.R. is the only active plugin. Clicking on the ‘Settings->Content Syndication’ tab gives me the screen with ‘Account Settings’ and ‘Tools’ tabs BOTH OF WHICH ARE COMPLETELY BLANK with no way to add any information! I cannot add a user! This site has only one user and I am logged in as such. It has Admin permissions. It is using Redux Framework v3.3.9.4

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

I really want this plugin to work and will continue to use it even with the problems I list. I have control over both the client and server so I can work around these issues.
Issues for me:
The original post ‘by line’ doesn’t get syndicated.
When I look at page source the canonical leaves out part of the URL (e.g. https://www.mysite.com/mycategorie/mypost becomes https://www.mysite.com/mypost). This then makes a 404 error. This requires manual changes in the client.
When cron fires in the client and tries to get new posts I often don’t get a download for several attempts. Until I get a successful download I repeatedly get emails that say “This is a message from your Content Syndication Toolkit wordpress plugin. There was an error when trying to get new syndication posts from the content creator. All posts in this import will need to be reimported. Please login to wordpress and make a manual content pull request using the plugin tools under “Settings -> Content Syndication” in the wordpress admin area.
Here is the error message: “Problem contacting the server. Please confirm your API Username and Password are correct. Error: transport error – HTTP status code was not 200 CODE: -32300” – Please allow control of emails.
Lastly, my client post custom fields are repeatedly loaded with many duplicate ‘pcst_canonical_permalink’ and ‘prso_synd_toolkit_ID’.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

As soon as I activate the plug-in my admin panel crashes and I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

The site itself seems unaffected, however until I deactivate the plugin by changing the folder name through ftp I’m not able to access my admin panel.

Thoughts?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

We had the plugin successfully delivering posts from Site A to Site B, but ever since I added a user to Site A, we’ve had no posts end up on Site B.

The error message included the following:

“failed to import: post [username].”

[Username] is the username of the account that was added.

Resetting the index and manual pulls have resulted in the following error:

“Problem contacting the server. Please confirm your API Username and Password are correct. Error: transport error – HTTP status code was not 200”

I have confirmed the username and password and the XMLRPC file has the correct permissions. Any idea what might be causing the issue?

Thanks!

Hi Ben,

I closed out the other support thread I had with you because this is a different issue. I had this working on a dev site, but then I duplicated an existing site and put the reader plugin on there. I added the correct credentials, ensured that xmlrpc was available and checked the error logs but nothing is apparent as to what could be happening.

The error log says this:

PHP Notice: Undefined property: WP_Import::$posts in /nas/content/staging/wp-content/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit-reader/inc/class/class.importer.php on line 335

AND

PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /nas/content/staging/wp-content/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit-reader/inc/class/class.importer.php on line 337

So it appears there is an error with the import that is causing the $this->posts variable to not be populated. I’ve ‘Reset Index’ and tried manually pulling in with no luck.

This worked perfectly on the exact same server just the other day. Then when I put it onto a different site with the same credentials I began receiving these errors with no posts being pulled in. Any idea what this could be? Do you know of any plugins that might conflict with this plugin causing this error?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

First of all, thank you for this plugin. You saved me many hours of struggling.

Unfortunately, I am running into the issue of needing to sync posts from past dates (before the plugin was installed) but there doesn’t seem to be a way of doing so. Can you offer some quick guidance on if this is possible or not and if so, how I may go about doing it?

Another thing, anyway to add support for custom fields generated from the Advanced Custom Fields plugin?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

Hi – I’m also having the same XML issue that everyone else is having. It’s only been an issue in over the past few months – prior to that your plugin worked perfectly.

I have the PRO version of the Toolkit on my master site and approx 10 reader sites.

The auto posting of the articles is working fine however the manual pull button is not (producing error message), and it’s sending lots of error email messages to all the syndication subscribers whenever I syndicate a WordPress post like:
“This is a message from your Content Syndication Toolkit wordpress plugin.

There was an error when trying to get new syndication posts from the content creator. All posts in this import will need to be reimported.

Please login to wordpress and make a manual content pull request using the plugin tools under “Settings -> Content Syndication” in the wordpress admin area.

Here is the error message:

“failed to import: Media feature-mrs-doubtfire.” “

I’ve checked the XML link you posted in a number of other questions – https://digitalhub.mediapoint.net.au/xmlrpc.php – and not getting an error, but getting this response: “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.” Does that mean my host is still blocking your plugin? I’m hosted on Amazon Web Services.

My master site: https://digitalhub.mediapoint.net.au

I love this plugin by the way – just trying to stop all my clients receiving constant error emails and not being able to use the manual pull content feature.

Thanks so much,
Haylie

So, loving this idea you’ve put together…

Here’s our situation… We want to make it easy for authors to write and publish content to our various sites so WE would be the reader and THEY would send the content…

I don’t think I’m going to get 100 authors to all throw down $80, maybe you could reverse engineer this for us? ??

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

Good morning guys,

We are using this amazing plugin to setup a syndicated content network, and for us this is the ideal solution.

Except that we want to get rid of the “This article was first published on URL” string at the bottom of a post, cause with curated content from 3rd parties this is not a valid url.

How can we achieve this? Looking forward to your answer.

Thanks!

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

So can you have unlimited members, all posting content on their own websites, automatically publish to one main site?

Also, can you have settings on the receiving site hold content as ‘pending’?

Thanks, this looks very promising!

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-syndication-toolkit/

This plugin was working great earlier this year, but stopped working suddenly in the last couple of weeks.

I’ve deleted and re-installed the toolkit and reader on the content creator site and the reader site I’m trying to syndicate content between. Still it doesn’t work.

I get this email when trying to pull in content:

This is a message from your Content Syndication Toolkit wordpress plugin.

There was an error when trying to get new syndication posts from the content creator. All posts in this import will need to be reimported.

Please login to wordpress and make a manual content pull request using the plugin tools under “Settings -> Content Syndication” in the wordpress admin area.

Here is the error message:

“transport error – could not open socket”

Please help. Thanks!
