• Hello,

    I love the idea of this plugin, it’s exactly what I need – however I’m having such trouble figuring out how to use it.
    For example, if my post has the word “Modern” in it, then I want it to be auto-categorized into “Modern”. If it has “credit” in the post title then put it in the “Credit” category…and so on.
    I don’t understand the terminology with “keyword set editor”, taxonomies and configuration groups. I’ve been trying to set it up for an hour now and it’s just not clicking with me, it’s array of features have overcomplicated it for me.
    I would appreciate if someone could spell it out in clear terms how to auto-categorize my posts with this. Thanks so much.

    Hi. The current version doesn’t support tagging based on the part of the post where the searched keywords are found (= you can’t choose that you want the post to be categorized into the “Credit” category only if the word “credit” is in the post title – the term “Credit” will be added even if the keyword is found in post content). This feature will be implemented in the next version.

    Taxonomies = types of metadata APT adds to posts, e.g. tags (use “post_tag” in the group editor), categories (“category”), etc.

    Keyword sets = groups of term names and related keywords; if either of these is found in posts, the term name will be added to a taxonomy specified in the keyword set’s configuration group

    Configuration group = groups for keyword sets, currently used to specify taxonomies (future versions will include many other group-related features)

    After installing the plugin, you just need to add new keyword sets, modify the taxonomy in the default configuration group if needed, change the plugin settings to suit your needs, and that’s it. There are little gray circles with question marks everywhere, hover your mouse above them to display more information about particular features/settings.

    Hi, I exactly have the same confusion. These settings are to much complicated to handle them.

    I have keywordlist and all I want to do is if it is one of these Keywords inside content then generate a category with same name like keyword and add the post to this category.

    Can you please wright an explanation that I understand or make some screenshots.

    Thanks!

    Hey, create a keyword set where the term name and related keywords have the same value; assign this keyword set to a group with the taxonomy “category”.

    Yup, I agree, it’s complicated (although still not as complicated as the settings in the current dev version, heh), but probably can’t do much about it. That’s what websites with WP-related tutorials etc. are for; try complaining to them, lol 😉
