There is an option to post the whole article on a single post page automatically. In this case you would just leave a short excerpt in the editor for your multi-article blog page. When they click on the article title or a special link (see options below) the whole page would display. This whole page is in a fixed format that you can’t change without using your own CSS coding.

You can use the option in the Curation tab of “Show full Article Text in Single Post Page?” which will replace the excerpt you use with the full article. You could also clear the option “Show original article link, not readable page?” which will put a link to the full article text instead of a link to the original source. WARNING – I have clients that have been delisted from the Google search engines for using these options. They are there mainly for use by business clients with private internal-only sites. Using them on a public site can open you up to copyright violations. See the Options documentation on our site for more information.

MyCurator has an auto post option, see this documentation page to set it up: Auto Post

MyCurator needs the switch allow_url_fopen On in PHP.ini – contact your host to check this. If it isn’t on, we can’t capture images from websites.

Also make sure the MyCurator Option “Insert Image Only when Made Live?” is cleared at the bottom of the Curation tab.

If Pocket can provide the articles into an RSS feed, MyCurator can read that. MyCurator can also take in feeds from the Feedly RSS and you can read and review them there (with full text), then ‘Make Live’ the articles you like directly into the WordPress editor for further composing.

In the MyCurator Options menu item, Format tab you can clear the option “Clicking on Post Title or Image will go to Original Article” and that should revert to going to the usual single article page when you click on the article title.

Have you used the Quick tag on MyCurator to post a training page article quickly? That is where those notices (they are not errors) come from.

Do the Get It or Source It bookmarklets work? They will usually also get an error if the Make Live gets an error. Maybe you can try them and see if they produce an error message?

Usually this happens because your host has tightened security on your site and is blocking the plugin .PHP file from starting up the WordPress Admin. As shown in the link, MyCurator is starting up a plugin file (MyCurator_train.php) that then starts up the WordPress admin to do a regular WordPress Post.

It could be that your host just happened to update their security right around your update to 5.5.1. It could also be that you are using a security plugin that updated with 5.5.1 that has tightened security or changed the .htaccess file. You could try deactivating any security plugins and see if that helps. You can also send this response to your host and see if they can help.

Finally, it could be that the MyCurator_train.php file is missing. Check that and if so, try deleting MyCurator then reinstalling. You won’t lose any data as you do this.

There is nothing in MyCurator that would do that. Curated content becomes just a regular post once you put it on your blog. If you have the article attribution URL in your post, you might be able to write some custom code that would look for the same base/global URL that is embedded in posts and remove them.

Which plugin do you use for custom post types on your site?

Could you get a screen shot of the Training Posts showing the 2 different Topics in the Topic Column of the Training Posts? That way we could see if there is something wrong with the Topics. If you could send it to [email protected], we could also follow up with you for more specific, private access.

With WordPress you would need to create a Post to display the title. You would have to use a theme that would only display the title of a post. In MyCurator you would click on the Option “Clicking on Post Title or Image will go to Original Article” in the Format Tab. This would link the title to the original source.

You would want to disable the mct_sl_deleteimage() function by commenting out its code. You will have to do this each time you install a new update for MyCurator (usually once or twice a year).

MyCurator uses standard javascript and jQuery libraries that are supplied with WordPress. Some plugins install different libraries and they don’t act the same as the standard ones. It sounds like Beaver Builder is one of those. Unfortunately, unless they change their use of libraries to the standard WordPress ones, it will conflict with MyCurator.

One other thing. If you have Notebooks with blank titles, go ahead and delete them. Then follow the steps above, adding a title and description for the new Notebook when you click the [Notebk] tag on an article in the Training Posts.

When you click the [Notebk] tag in the Training Post, the Add to Notebook popup will be blank, especially the first time. You type in the Title of a Notebook in the OR Add to New Notebook and the Notebook description. This Notebook will contain the articles. When you click the Move to Notebook button, it will create a Notebook with that title and description and put the article into the new Notebook. Then, go to the Notebook menu item in MyCurator and you should see your newly added Notebook. Click on the Title and you should see your newly added article. Also, the next time you click on the [Notebk] tag in Training Posts, your new Notebook will show up in the drop down. You would just click Move to Notebook unless you wanted to create another Notebook to hold different articles.

If you go to the MyCurator Notebook menu item, you can click on the Need Help? button which will reveal a short video giving an overview of Notebooks and how to use them.
