Hello Group,
I have been using the cyberSEO plugin for a few months pulling in rss feeds from a handful of sites. I had disabled the maintenance page plugin this past Sunday evening and by Wednesday morning the owner of one of the sites I was pulling from sent me an email asking me to remove the content he claims I have stolen and plagiarized his posts. I am wondering how he was able to even find that I was pulling the rss feed from his site and second if there is a way for me to reformat the pulled content to not be so complete.
How can I change the way cyberSEO pulls the content from these sites as it seems to be pulling in the entire post and not giving credit to the author of the post it is adding a link back to the site in the footer "appeared first on sitename." but I am being asked by my boss to have the content from the post not be the full post and just a portion with a read more link back to the original post. In an effort to try to appease the site owner.
Thanks,
Paul

The plugin does exactly that you tell it to do. If you want a full article, it will grab it for you. If you want to not give a credit - it will do as you say. CyberSEO is just a tool and like a knife which it can be used to make a tasty salad or to injure somebody.
The plugin has built-in ways to give a credit to the original article owner. You are the one who decides - to give it or to not. Everything is well-described in the manual. E.g.:

If you don't want to pull full articles, just disable the "Extract full articles" option in the feed settings.

Hello,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I understand. I am setting my feed settings to the default basically the only thing I am changing is the undefined categories to: Post to default wordpress category and I change post thumbnail to : Generate from the first post image and I am checking the checkbox for store images locally. Here is a link to a screenshot of my settings yet it is still pulling the entire post.

maybe you can review this and see if I am missing something within the settings.

As I said in my post above, you can add a link back to the article owner. It's just one single line in the "Post footers" box.

yes, i understand that however that is no different than what is already happening is it? In other words the last line of the post has the sentence that says
The post The Post Title appeared first on SiteNameLogin to see this link.
and aside from that what would you suggest as I am not checking the Extract full article checkbox yet it seems to be.. Should I replace the Post content: %post_content% with %post_excerpt% instead. As it is now it seems to be pulling the entire post..

What for? If the RSS feed's owner has decided to give away full text articles, that means he wants you to syndicate them in this particular form. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". If he doesn't want his articles to be syndicated by other resources, he simple disables RSS feeds at his site.
I don't understand how this question can be related to CyberSEO. If you have any questions regarding copyright-related issues, you should content the content owner directly.

Hello Admin,
I replaced Post content: %post_content% with %post_excerpt% and that did remedy the amount of content being pulled.. I have also added the link as you suggested. I doubt this is going to satisfy the site owner but I did what I could. Thanks for you help.
