[Plugin: WP-o-Matic] How do you include a link to the original article?

  • I know that this topic was mentioned before, but I am still VERY confused. I just set up a blog aggregator site at https://www.deafvillage.com/news using wip-o-matic. I would like to be able to link each posts automatically to the original article. The FAQ was not clear –

    How do I link to the original site/article?

    Use the post template feature (example: {content} <p>Link to the original site</p>)

    WHERE do I exactly put this code? Do I put it in the index.php page under one of the themes folders? I just would like to know which page I should put this code in.

    Thanks for your help!

    Ok. I figured out how to insert the code, but the link is not working. You’ll notice that “Go to Source” is unclickable. How can I fix this problem? Thanks!

    Hi, I was wondering how you were able to open your feeds in a new window. I can’t figure it out and I saw that your site is working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Ok here is what I did —

    I edited the plugin PHP file and changed the // Template parse to this …

    // Template parse
    $vars = array(
      '{content}',
      '{title}',
      '{permalink}',
      '{feedurl}',
      '{feedtitle}',
      '{feedlogo}',
      '{campaigntitle}',
      '{campaignid}',
      '{campaignslug}',
      '{readmore}'
    );

    $replace = array(
      $content,
      $item->get_title(),
      $item->get_link(),
      $feed->url,
      $feed->title,
      $feed->logo,
      $campaign->title,
      $campaign->id,
      $campaign->slug,
      $item->get_link()
    );

    The in the wp-o-matic options added a custom template as follows

    {content} <a href="{readmore}">Read more ... </a>
