Usage

Basic Usage

Configuration

  1. Navigate to Settings → Content Extractor in WordPress admin
  2. Enter your Source URL (the URL to extract content from)
  3. Click Save Changes

Automatic Extraction

The plugin automatically runs every 30 minutes via WordPress cron:

  • Fetches content from the configured URL
  • Parses and extracts post data
  • Publishes posts to WordPress
  • Downloads and sets featured images
  • Handles pagination automatically

Manual Trigger

To trigger extraction manually:

// In your theme's functions.php or a custom plugin
if (function_exists('ce_extract_content')) {
    ce_extract_content();
}

Or via WP-CLI (if you add a custom command):

wp eval 'ce_extract_content();'

Advanced Usage

Custom Cron Interval

Modify the cron interval in content-extractor.php:

$schedules['every_15_minutes'] = array(
    'interval' => 900, // 15 minutes
    'display'  => __( 'Every 15 Minutes' ),
);

Batch Size

Adjust posts per batch in ce_extract_content():

$posts_per_page = 10; // Process 10 posts per batch

Content Parsing

Parsing for JSON, XML/RSS, and HTML is built in. Prefer filters over replacing the parser:

add_filter( 'ce_post_data', function( $post_data ) {
    // Adjust title/content/image before publish
    return $post_data;
} );

See Examples and API.
