Step 1: Go to the Plugins section and click 'Install Plugins' in the top right hand of the page.
Click on the red 'Install Now' button on the right hand side. , Once you see this click 'Activate Plugin'. , For now just click next for the next four screens without paying attention until you are at the WP-O-Matic dashboard. ,, It doesn’t matter what you choose but something like 'Hypnosis RSS' would be appropriate if you were running a hypnosis site.
Once you have done this click on the Feeds tab. ,,, You might see a red warning box but it is nothing to worry about.
Copy the web address underneath the WebCron-ready URL. , This can be found using the following address with your relevant login details. www.YOURWEBSITE.com/cpanel ,, Choose Standard.
Once in the Cron Manager you will see a box where you are asked to enter an email address.
I would not recommend doing it, as you will receive an email every time a cron job runs.
Underneath is Entry
1.
In the box to the right of Command to run is an empty box.
Here is the box where you need to paste the Webcron-ready URL you copied earlier.
When you have done this, click on the box and type in the word 'curl' and then leave a space between curl and your Webcron-ready URL. , This means that the cron will check the RSS feeds every five minutes every day for the latest content.
