CopyFeed Plugin Now Available in English

By Jonathan Bailey • May 24th, 2007 • Category: Articles, News, Prevention

With my recent move this story fell through the cracks a bit, but I wanted to let everyone know that the CopyFeed Wordpress Plugin, previously reported on here, has now been translated into English.

I took the time today and installed the plugin here on my feed and am, so far, loving it. It is a very powerful plugin and seems to do everything that it advertises. Though I am not using the IP identification tool due to my use of FeedBurner, I am using it to place a small copyright notice and the digital fingerprint.

It also corrects other feed-related issues, such as Wordpress artificially truncating entries that use the “MORE” tag, and adds the ability to insert comments and related posts into the feed.

The only frustration I’ve had is that you need to be careful to save your options before you update the preview, otherwise, you will likely lose all of your work.

Beyond that, if it works correctly with this post, it is a powerful plugin that combines functionality that was once spread across nearly a half dozen plugins.

I would encourage every Wordpress using that is running their own installation to look at getting it.

Update: I checked the output from this feed after I published the post and it caused an error with the feed, removing all paragraph breaks in the post itself. I’m going to contact the creator of the plugin and see if this is a problem he is aware of.

    HI Jonathan, it’s me again, Emila. I just installed the CopyFeed.

    My blog has been so quiet lately without the incoming links from the splogs after installing the Digital Finger Print,AntiLeech and Akismet. I felt suspicious, it’s too good to be true. I turned off Akismet this morning and received a splog link right away. I noticed that I didn’t get to see some of the spam content in Akismet folders.

    The thing is that, the splog prey on my previous contents. It seems that the DigitalPrint plugin didn’t add my digital print in all my posts. I don’t know what I should do anymore, hoping that the CopyFeed will work.

    Thank you Jonathan, you’ve been a great help.

    Emila: Not all blogs that scrape grab the fingerprint, especially if you do it at the bottom of of the post. It is entirely possible they could grab the intro to the piece, possibly even from another site such as Technorati. The DF plugin wont catch all scrapers, just some of the worst.

    That being said, I don’t know if it goes back and puts it on posts retroactively, it has been far too long since I installed it. I thought it did though.

    Sorry I can’t be of more help
