RSS Autoblogging: Auto-Generate Posts from Any RSS Feed

Posted
Byaiadmin

RSS autoblogging lets AIWU monitor external feeds and automatically turn incoming articles into new posts on your site — rewritten by AI, formatted in your style, published on a schedule. This guide sets up a complete autoblogging pipeline from RSS source to published post.

Before You Start

You’ll need:

  • Familiar with AI content generation (Generate Your First Article)
  • AIWU Pro with API key configured
  • RSS feed URLs for your source content (news sites, competitor blogs, industry publications)
  • Time needed: ~15 minutes setup · runs automatically after that
  • Plan required: Pro
⚠️ Copyright and editorial responsibility. Autoblogging rewrites source content — it does not copy it verbatim. However, you’re responsible for what gets published on your site. Always configure the AI to add your own perspective, check the generated output before final publication, and only use sources where repurposing is permitted (syndication partners, open-license content, your own content from other platforms).

Step 1: Open the RSS Autoblogging Module

Go to WordPress Admin → AI Copilot → Content Generation → RSS Autoblogging.

Step 2: Add Your RSS Sources

Click Add Feed and enter the RSS feed URL. To find an RSS feed URL:

  • Most blogs: try https://example.com/feed/ or https://example.com/rss/
  • Add /feed to the end of most WordPress blog URLs
  • For news sites: look for the RSS icon in the browser address bar, or check /feed
  • Use a browser extension like “RSS Feed Reader” to detect feeds automatically

For each feed, configure:

Setting Recommended Notes
Feed name Descriptive label For your reference only (e.g. “TechCrunch AI”)
Check frequency Every 6–12 hours Hourly checks may hit API rate limits on busy feeds
Max new posts per check 2–3 Prevents flooding your site if a source publishes many articles at once
Min article age 1 hour Avoids processing articles that get edited/deleted shortly after publishing

Step 3: Configure the AI Rewriting Prompt

This is the most important step. The prompt determines the quality and style of your generated posts. The source article is passed to the AI as {source_content}:

You are a content writer for [Your Site Name], a blog about [your topic/niche].

Rewrite the following article in our editorial voice. Requirements:
- Write from our perspective, not the source's perspective
- Add 1–2 sentences of our own commentary or opinion in the introduction
- Keep the core information but restructure it in our own format
- Use our standard heading structure (H2 for main sections, H3 for subsections)
- Remove any references to the source publication or author
- Add a brief conclusion with our take on the topic
- Target length: 600–800 words
- Tone: [your tone: professional / conversational / expert / casual]

Source article:
{source_content}

Article title from source: {source_title}

Step 4: Set Publication Settings

Setting Recommended Notes
Post status Draft Review before publishing — at least until you trust the output quality
Post author Dedicated editor account Create an “AI Editor” WordPress user for autoblogged content
Categories Auto-assign from feed tag Or manually assign a fixed category per feed
Featured image Generate AI image Or skip — autoblogging without images is fine for SEO-focused blogs
Publishing schedule Spread over the day Don’t publish 5 posts at midnight — spread them for natural appearance in feeds
Duplicate check Enabled Prevents processing the same article twice if it reappears in the feed
💡 Start with Draft status. Run the autoblogging for a week, review all drafted posts, check quality and accuracy. Only switch to auto-publish when you’re confident the output consistently meets your standards.

Step 5: Add Filters to Skip Irrelevant Articles

Not every article in a feed is relevant to your site. Use keyword filters to process only matching articles:

  • Include keywords: Only process articles containing these words in the title or content (e.g. “AI”, “machine learning”, “GPT”)
  • Exclude keywords: Skip articles containing these words (e.g. “sponsored”, “advertisement”, “partner”)
  • Min word count: Skip short news blurbs under 300 words — they don’t produce good rewritten articles

Verify It’s Working

  1. After saving, click Test Feed on any configured source
  2. AIWU fetches the 3 most recent articles and generates draft posts
  3. Go to WordPress Admin → Posts → Drafts to review the generated content
  4. Check: Is the content well-written? Does it reflect your editorial voice? Are there any factual errors?
✅ Draft posts appearing with quality content? Your autoblogging pipeline is working. You now have a steady stream of AI-rewritten content from your chosen sources — ready to review and publish on your schedule.

Common Issues

Problem: “Generated articles sound exactly like the source — not rewritten.”
Fix: Strengthen the rewriting instruction in your prompt. Add: “Do not use the same sentence structure as the source. Completely restructure the article.” Also try increasing the temperature setting if available.

Problem: “Too many irrelevant articles are being processed.”
Fix: Add more specific include keywords. Or switch to a more niche RSS feed instead of a broad industry publication.

Problem: “Feed check runs but no new posts are created.”
Fix: Check that the feed has new articles since the last check. Verify the duplicate detection isn’t blocking all articles — clear the processed-articles cache if needed.
