SEO Content Factory 2.8 Adds MetaWeblog Support for WordPress 3.5
by Antone Roundy | SEO Content Factory
WordPress version 3.5 is due out any day now. When I learned that they'll be removing Atom Publishing Protocol support from the core program, and that AtomPub support was recently dropped for blogs hosted on WordPress.com, I got to work creating a new MetaWeblog plugin for SEO Content Factory.
AtomPub support will still be available for self-hosted blogs by installing an optional WordPress plugin, but I haven't tested SEO Content Factory with it. I now recommend using the MetaWeblog protocol to publish to WordPress.
SEO Content Factory version 2.8 is now ready for download (or purchase :-), and includes the new MetaWeblog plugin, plus a fix for a bug with the visual editor that could cause changes to be lost if any of the blogging forms were submitted while in HTML-view mode.
To upgrade from version 2.7.4, upload the following files, overwriting the old ones, if they exist:
- conf.php
- lobster.js
- xmlrpc.php
- publishing-plugins
- atom/atom.js
- blogger/blogger.js
- metaweblog (folder and it's contents)
- posterous/posterous.js
- tumblr/tumblr.js

Hi Antone,
can Seo Content factory be installed on the root directory?
If I had a domain name that I was only to use for SEOWCF could I have it installed at the root.
So when I go to http://www.mydomainname.com I automatically log into SEOWCF rather than http://www.mydomainname.com/Seowebblahblahblah....?
thanks

Yes, Jeremy. There's nothing to prevent that.

BTW....
Antone, is the "Check this box to verify that you aren't a spambot" a plugin of yours? does it stop a lot of your Spam? Can I have it?
thanks

Unfortunately, it's not a plugin -- I hacked some of the actual WordPress code to make that work just the way I wanted. It might be possible to do the same thing with a plugin, but I couldn't seem to find any way to make a plugin prevent the spam comments from being stored in the database. It does seem to stop a fair bit of spam.

Hi Antone,
What if I'm upgrading from 2.5.2 ?
Thanks, Tim

Tim,
The easiest approach would be simply to upload all of the files, overwriting the old versions. I wouldn't delete the old files though (particularly not myconf.php). When you load SEO Content Factory the next time, it will ask you to click to update your database. Do that, and you should be good to go.
