Cannot import a post from top news to post

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your purchase.

The yellow diamond at rule running means that no new posts were imported at the rule running (but also no errors were encountered). If an error was encountered, a red X shows.

The yellow diamond appears usually in two cases:

1) if all available posts were already imported from for the specific rule. Posts will be imported automatically, at the schedule you set, if new content is available from the API, which is not already posted to your blog. In this case, you should wait a couple of hours or 1-2 days at max, to see if posts are getting imported automatically to your blog.

2) if no post is getting imported, you should check the ‘Posting Restrictions’ settings, in plugin’s ‘Main Settings’. These can prevent posts from getting imported. Please check the ‘Minimum Title Word Count’, Maximum Title Word Count’ , Minimum Content Word Count’ , Maximum Content Word Count’, ‘Banned Words List’, ‘Required Words List’, ‘Skip Posts That Do Not Have Images’ or ‘Skip Posts Older Than a Selected Date’ settings fields in ‘Main Settings’ – these may prevent posts from getting imported. Please clear them, save settings and rerun importing, to check if these were the ones preventing proper post importing.

3. Also, you should check on the ‘Search Query String’ settings field, from importing rule settings, because of this is too narrow (matches to few subjects), no content will be imported, because the ‘Top News to Posts’ plugin menu will import articles only which are top trending, from the last 24 hours. Because of this, the results that the ‘Top News to Posts’ menu generates are limited. If you wish to search for narrow keywords, I recommend switching to using the ‘Custom News to Posts’ plugin menu, which imports also older posts and has much broader result base.

Let me know if this helped.
