[Plugin: WPeMatico] Need to get only the new posts

  • WPeMatico is great!

    But it re-posts the deleted feeds it fetched earlier.
    1. If a campaign created 10 posts.
    2. I delete 9 of these posts.
    3. When the next fetch is performed, it re-creates the 9 posts (which I have to delete again)

    Is there a way to check the last run time, and only create posts that are time stamped later than that.

    (wp-o-matic used to do it quite well)

    It should be possible to add a line of code before creating the actual post that checks the timestamp. Could someone help me figure it out.

    Don’t delete them.

    If you’re deleting 9/10 of the posts it fetches, why not set all of them to DRAFT by default, then only publish the ones you want. It sounds like you’re doing alot of manual intervention, so doing it this way won’t hurt.

    To keep your post list clean in admin, move all the posts you’re not using to TRASH, but don’t delete permanently for a month or so. WPeMatico will still de-dupe against TRASHed posts

    Thanks!

    I’m setting them to draft, and then I selectively publish a few.
    So I don’t really see the need to keep posts in Trash, when I know that I’ll never need them.

    actually, the right thing to do here would be creating a hash of each deleted post and keep the hash in the database, so that new posts can also be hashed and checked against the table of deleted posts.
