      Hello,

      I followed your tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vhRJgCR_M exactly, step by step, in order to crawl some posts from news sites. The problem is that the Scrapper starts and imports at each post the whole site. It does not import just Title, Content, Images.

      I see my plugin version is little different/updated. Have you an updated tutorial for that?

      And CONGRATULATIONS for your projects.

      As I can see, it was the fastest and direct response I have received!

      Ok so can you please advise how to retrieve the following?

      1. Seed Page Crawling Query Type
      2. Seed Page Crawling Query String
      3. Content Query Type

      Through Visual Selector? Do you have a detailed documentation or tutorial for that?

      My Visual Selector works fine. That was not the problem. The problem is that the class of the link I have chosen it crawled the whole page not the content of the posts.

      So do you have a detailed and updated tutorial on How to crawl posts from other sites to wordpress? I need that step by step.

      Otherwise I have to clone your existing Crawl ID and go like that way.

      Hello, which is the exact URL from where you don’t manage to scrape only full content? Let me know and I check it.

      Regards.

      I cloned your scrape rule and I figure out with a href class inspection so I found the way that the scrapper works. Really thanks for that.

      If you have a  detailed and updated tutorial on how to scrape posts it and specifically how to locate and inspect the classes it would be fantastic.
