WP-o-Matic fix for Wordpress 2.5

Posted on May 1, 2008

WP-o-Matic makes autoblogging a easy by automatically creating posts from the RSS/Atom feeds you give it. Unfortunately, the latest release doesn't work very well, by itself or on Wordpress 2.5. Watch out for my post on fixing Wordpress 2.5 issues.

But for now, here is a fix for the faulty cron.php bundled with 1.0pre5


* Note, this will only work from a local cron, not WebCron.

Add this to your cron

*/20 * * * * php /PATH_TO_FILE/cron.php b1591282

You can find the PATH_TO_FILE in Settings -> WP-o-Matic -> Options
