Another Wordpress Question..

Pat Jackson · 11-13-2009, 09:23 AM

Hey Warriors,

Lets say that I was going to set up an auto-blog that would be scraping content from article directories. Is it possible to have something automatically display at the bottom of every post? For example, if I wanted a banner to be at the bottom of every post.

Thanks in advance,

Pat Jackson.

Probably the easiest way to that is to add the banner into the theme. If you want it to show on just the single posts add the banner code, in the Single Post file (single.php), somewhere after the code that looks something like this: <?php the_content

You can also add it to the Main Index Template (index.php)

But please don't scrape content from other blogs or sites and only use feeds that allow it. Most auto blogs use feeds from other blogs and usually provide no real value and Google knows it so good luck getting traffic.

Thanks, Jeff.

I think adding in the single.php file would be my best option.

You say to add it anytime after <?php the_content but does it matter where afterwards?

If I want it at the bottom of each post do I have to put it in any specific position after <?php the_content ?

Re. Auto blogs - I'm using a bit of software from the WSO section which basically just scrapes articles from one article directory. It posts the entire article including the resource box, not just snippets like a lot of other auto blogs do.

I have a bunch of domains that I have plans to develop, however, I have so much on at the moment that I'm not going to be able to do so for quite a while. My main goal is to actually have regular content being posted so that when I am ready to develop them I won't be starting completely from scratch.

A few sales here and there would be great but I'm not expecting them to be massive money makers or anything like that.

Hello Pat,

Displaying a banner at the bottom of every post is definitely possible. Many of the magazine themes over static post banners, which can easily be swapped.

I hope this helps.
