Go to the Logs menu item in MyCurator and choose Error from the drop down named Articles and click the Select Filter button and see if you have any error messages about images.

The way to test that is to deactivate your current theme and activate one of the standard WordPress themes like WordPress 2017. Then see if images can be saved.

When you say the image will not save, do you mean in the Post editor if you click on an image in the Saved Page of the original article and try to save it as the featured image or insert it? Do you see any images in your Training Posts list, little thumbnails?

It looks like the Alternate Cron setting in config is actually causing the problem now. You will see that you don’t have any entries in the Topic and Class fields on your training posts found in the background but you do have entries for the items that you found using Get It.

You need to go back to regular Cron and see if your host has any changes that can cause problems. Also see this article for a way to trigger it on time with very low traffic: https://www.target-info.com/how-to-replace-wordpress-cron-with-a-real-cron-job/

Finally, send me a Contact Us from our website at http://www.target-info.com for a tool to fix old posts that don’t have the Topic and Class items.

MyCurator doesn’t create a list of text links. It finds articles and lets you curate the ones you like to your blog, using the WordPress editor. The video may have actually shown Zemanta as a plugin you can use to create related posts links.

The following should work, please reply if it does, or doesn’t. Thanks

CREATE TABLE wp_postsread (
pr_id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
pr_url varchar(1000) NOT NULL,
pr_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
pr_topics varchar(500),
pr_page_content longtext,
PRIMARY KEY (pr_id),
KEY pr_url (pr_url(190)))

The key is to use just small sections of content from the article on your site, to introduce and comment on that content with your own words, and always have a link to the original article where your site visitor can view the full content.

Our website has a good overview of curation at What is Content Curation and a discussion of the legality of curation at Is Curation Legal. Our blog also has many original and curated articles about all aspects of content curation.

Check the Logs menu item to see what is happening. If you go to the Logs menu item you will see each item found by MyCurator and its source. You can check that an article may have been found but is not displayed because of how your Topic is set up, you will see messages as to what is happening. At the top left you can choose Error from the drop down marked Article and then click Select Filter. See if there are any errors. Finally select Process from the same drop down and click Select Filter and see if the background process has tried to run. You can send me screen shots of these if you want using the contact us page on our site.
