• OpenAI Rewriting: Toggle ON to use OpenAI for content rewriting.

3. Logs and Monitoring

All logs related to publishing are recorded under AutoPublisher Logs AutoPublisher Logs.

4. Cron Job Execution

The plugin uses WordPress cron to schedule auto-publishing via the hook scap_cron_hook.

You can monitor and trigger this manually using the WP Crontrol plugin:

1. Install and activate WP Crontrol.
2. Go to Tools Cron Events.
3. Find the scap_cron_hook and click "Run Now".

5. File Structure and Responsibilities

• /includes/functions.php: Core logic for fetching and processing RSS feeds
• /includes/cron.php: Registers the cron hook and related logic
• /admin/settings.php: Admin UI for managing settings
• /includes/logger.php: Handles logging of publishing actions
• /templates/template-parser.php: Applies placeholders like {{title}} in post templates
• /includes/openai.php: Integrates with OpenAI API if rewriting is enabled

6. Template Editing

You can edit the default post template from the plugin settings or modify /templates/template-parser.php directly.

Available placeholders:

• {{title}}: Post title
• {{content}}: Main content from the feed
• {{date}}: Publication date
• {{link}}: Source link

7. Duplicate Content Handling

The plugin avoids publishing duplicates using the post URL hash. Each URL is stored and compared before publishing.

Example code:

// Inside functions.php

if (get_option('scap_posted_' . md5(item_url), time());

}

8. Troubleshooting

• Ensure WP Cron is working. Try disabling caching plugins temporarily
• Check logs under AutoPublisher Logs
• Use WP Crontrol to manually test scap_cron_hook
