Go to the MyCurator Options menu item. Clear the Option “Create Gutenberg Blocks into Curated Posts?” and then click the Save Options button at the bottom of the page. This will set MyCurator to use the Classic editor style of post and should restore the formatting.

Go to the Topics menu item. The button Run AI Process near the top of the page will manually start the curation process. You can choose which Topics will be run by clicking on the Check Boxes to the far right.

Ahh, you are in the editor adding paragraphs to the article. The Saved Page metabox underneath the editor area has a tiny arrow in the far right of the box. Click that and the full article should appear. You can then use the yellow highlight and click to add paragraphs.

By default MyCurator only adds an excerpt to your post, not the full text. If you want to insert the full text into your post you need to go to the MyCurator Options menu item, Admin tab. and click the “Show full Article Text in Single Post Page?” option. WARNING: Choosing this option means you are copying the full text of an article from another web site. This may violate copyright laws and result in your suspension from Google searches and possibly legal action. Even though attribution links are shown, copying the full text may also be viewed as plagiarism by the original author. You are responsible for any articles that you publish using this option.

You can find more details here in our documentation on Options: Options Scroll to the bottom for the Admin options.

You could move the link and its title to the top of the post, and change the phrase to a disclaimer that this is a curated excerpt below. You can make these changes in the Options menu item of MyCurator. The position option is in the Curation tab and the text phrase is in the Format tab. Unfortunately the link and the phrase always go together so you couldn’t add just a phrase to the top.

If you can do some coding, you could also use a hook we have set up to add the phrase at the top of the content. The hooks are documented at the top of the MyCurator.php file.

If you are using the full page of the article then you would have to use your own customizations to make that change. The full page display is designed to be used by private sites as displaying the full page of a curated article in a public site can caused copyright problems.

If you are not using the full page display, go to the MyCurator Options menu item, Curation tab and make sure the option “Place attribution link above excerpt” is cleared.

MyCurator needs to start up Get It and Source It from the plugin directory of WordPress. Tell your host that the bookmarklet is opening a browser window with a url pointing to the php file in the plugin directory of MyCurator, not to the URL of your site. That http call is what is blocked as its a non-standard access to your WordPress site. They usually need to remove a restriction in .htaccess. One other possibility is some site security plugins (WP Defender is one) have a “Prevent PHP execution” switch that must be turned off. Your host may also have some special security tools they use to block this.
