To set up the cron job for wp-o-matic, you need to login to your cpanel and select the cron jobs option.

Select standard as your experience level.

The code wp-o-matic gives you looks like the following:
*/20 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://www.blah.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=xxxxx

You only need the http://www.blah.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=xxxxx part. Paste that into the command to run field and select how many minutes/hours/days you wish it to run, then click save.

When you go to add another cron job the wp-o-matic job should have been saved and appear as “entry 1″ in the Cron Manager.

    Thanks! Deleted the extra cron code and cPanel accepted it. Now am off to play with wp-o-matic.

    Hi, I did exactly what you said above but I keep getting the same error “no such file in directry”. It doesn’t matter what rss feed I place in the Cpanel cron job, I keep getting the same error but in wp-o-matic the job runs fine with the fetch but does not post any more content because of the cron job error stating “no such file in directry”. Could you please help me out on this one.

    Highly appreciated, Allan

    Exactly what I needed. I had added all the garbled code as a chron job instead of just the main url as you pointed out.

    You rock for posting this, it helped me out so I appreciat it! ^^
