AI Auto Poster v9.0 | Production Ready ✅
Last Updated: October 8, 2025

*YouTube Note: Due to YouTube’s privacy settings and API limitations, we cannot guarantee the YouTube feature will work consistently for all channels. RSS feeds work much more reliably. Use YouTube at your own risk!

1
You Create a “Campaign”

A campaign is like a recipe. You tell the plugin:

• Where to get content (RSS feed URL)
• How often to check for new posts (every hour, every 6 hours, etc.)
• Whether to use AI rewriting (yes/no)
• What template to use for posts

2
Plugin Monitors Your Source

Every 15 minutes, the plugin checks if your campaigns are due to run. If a campaign is due, it fetches new content from the RSS feed, YouTube channel, or podcast you specified.

3
AI Rewrites the Content

If you enabled AI rewriting, the plugin sends the content to OpenAI (ChatGPT). The AI transforms it into a unique blog post in your preferred style – making it fresh and original.

4
Post Gets Published

The plugin applies your chosen template (custom HTML layout), then automatically publishes the post to your WordPress site. Done! No manual work required.

Set it → Forget it → Content appears automatically! 🎉

Before You Start: You’ll need an OpenAI API key to use the AI rewriting feature. Get one at platform.openai.com (requires credit card, costs about $0.002 per article).

Pro Tip: Start with just one campaign using a reliable RSS feed. Once you see it working, add more campaigns!

Do I need to stay logged in?

No! Once campaigns are set up, the plugin runs automatically. You can close your browser and not log in for days, weeks, or even months. Posts will keep being created.

Is the AI rewriting required?

No, but it’s highly recommended. Without AI rewriting, posts will be copies of the original content (which may have copyright issues). AI rewriting makes content unique and SEO-friendly.

How much does the AI cost?

OpenAI charges about $0.002 per article (less than a penny). If you create 100 articles, it costs about $0.20. Very affordable!

Can I review posts before they publish?

Yes! In campaign settings, you can set posts to save as “Draft” instead of “Publish.” Then you can review and manually publish each one.

What about YouTube?

Use with caution! YouTube’s privacy settings and API changes make it unreliable. Some channels work, others don’t. We recommend RSS feeds for consistent results. Use YouTube as an extra bonus, not your main source.

How many campaigns can I run?

Unlimited! Run as many campaigns as you want. However, the plugin processes 5 campaigns per cron run (every 15 minutes) to prevent server overload.

Will it work on shared hosting?

Yes! The plugin is designed to be lightweight. It works fine on most shared hosting plans. For best results, set up system cron instead of relying on WordPress cron.

📰 News Aggregator Site

Create 5 campaigns, each monitoring a different tech news site’s RSS feed. Set them to check every hour. Your site automatically publishes 20-30 tech news articles per day, all rewritten to be unique.

Result: Fresh tech news site with minimal effort.

🍳 Recipe Blog

Monitor 3 popular recipe blog RSS feeds. Set to check every 6 hours. Use custom template to format recipes nicely. AI rewrites ingredients and instructions to be unique.

Result: Daily recipe posts without cooking a single meal.

💰 Affiliate Marketing Site

Monitor product review blogs in your niche. AI rewrites reviews and adds your affiliate links via template. Set to post as drafts so you can add links before publishing.

Result: Steady stream of product reviews for your affiliate offers.

🎓 Educational Resource Site

Curate educational content from university blogs and research sites. Rewrite academic papers into easy-to-read blog posts. Perfect for study resource sites.

Result: Educational content library that grows automatically.

YouTube Reliability

YouTube channels often have privacy settings that block automated access. We cannot guarantee the YouTube feature will work for all channels. Many users report it stops working after YouTube makes changes. Use RSS feeds for reliable automation. Consider YouTube a bonus feature, not a primary one.

Content Quality

AI rewriting is good but not perfect. Always review a few posts when you first set up a campaign to ensure quality meets your standards. You can set posts to “Draft” mode for manual review.

Copyright & Ethics

Always respect copyright laws. AI rewriting makes content unique, but you should still link back to original sources (the templates do this automatically). Don’t claim content as 100% original if it’s curated from other sites.

API Costs

Monitor your OpenAI usage. While costs are low (pennies per post), they can add up if you create hundreds of posts per day. Set up billing alerts in your OpenAI account.

Server Resources

The plugin is lightweight, but running 20+ campaigns on a tiny shared hosting plan might slow things down. Start small (3-5 campaigns) and scale up as you monitor performance.

What It Does:

Automatically fetches content from RSS feeds (or YouTube/podcasts), rewrites it with AI to be unique, and publishes it to your WordPress site – all without you touching anything.

Best For:

News aggregator sites, niche content curators, busy bloggers, affiliate marketers, and anyone who wants automated content creation from RSS feeds.

What You Need:

• WordPress 6.0+
• OpenAI API key (for AI rewriting)
• RSS feed URLs
• 10 minutes to set up

Important Note:

YouTube is unreliable due to privacy settings. Use RSS feeds for best results. YouTube should be considered a bonus feature that may or may not work consistently.
