MyCurator Content Curation

by mtilly

Description

MyCurator will be Closing on 3/31/2025

we will be closing down the MyCurator plugin and our cloud server that supports the plugin. Despite our efforts, we’ve seen a shift in how content is being created. With the advent of advanced language models (LLMs), it has become much easier for our customers to generate targeted articles and content on their own, reducing the need for our solution.

As a result, we have decided to discontinue our services effective March 31st, 2025. We will be canceling all paid subscription fees at the end of November but you will be able to use MyCurator until March 31st and we will provide bug fixes and customer service until 3/31/2025.

We will no longer be taking on new customers. We will not be adding new features or functionality.

It has been over 12 years since we first published MyCurator and we have enjoyed the journey with our customers. We appreciate your support and loyalty over this time.

Does MyCurator work with most themes?

MyCurator creates a simple excerpted blog post, with a link to the original page. It should work with most
themes. Optionally, it will try to save an image from the article as the featured image for the post.

Does MyCurator work with Network Sites?

Yes, MyCurator works with Network sites. You must have a key for each site. Enterprise options are available
for businesses and larger sites that need many keys.

Does MyCurator work with other languages?

Yes, MyCurator will read and post articles written in other languages. All characters in the UTF-8 encoding, the same
used by WordPress, will be displayed. You can customize the link to the original page to match your language.
The admin pages, documentation and the training videos are only in English at this time.

How often does MyCurator read my sources for articles?

You can set MyCurator to process every 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours, depending on how often new articles are posted to
your sources. Processing happens in the background, with most of the processing off-site using our
cloud services.

Reviews

Great plugin

By 7 Mysteries (1greatness) on September 1, 2022

MyCurator is really a great plugin, easy to use and nice customisation. But the plugin will be greater if it has these features:

1. Option to set full article text or excerpt for each topic category. 2. Option to customize the attribution text and either to include or exclude attribution link for each topic category. 3. Option for word spinner or word AI that can replace the article text synonymously for each topic category.

MyCurator is Awesome - Support is AMAZING!

By iweinstein on December 6, 2018

We are an advisory / research firm, and we're all about content. We create our own content, but we also aggregate interesting content from others. Over the last 12 months, we've tested three different content searching / capture / aggregation engines. The first one was very expensive and took a long time to configure. And even when we got it working, it still took a long time to finalize and post each item. The second system was not only costly, but also confusing. We had to configure the search terms and sources via a web UI, and changes took 24 - 48 hours to go live. It took us weeks to configure the system, and even then it didn't find the content we needed. And then we found MyCurator. Installation took 3 minutes. Configuration took 10 minutes. And content started coming in just a few minutes later. MyCurator is low cost, light weight, and works well. A few days later, we had an idea for a new function we wanted to implement. We sent an email to Mark (the plug-in's creator), and just a few minutes later we had the answer. My advice --- before spending big money on a curation engine, try MyCurator. I only wish we had started there in the first place.

Great Plugin For Content Curation

By WP Ninja (sameernxb) on April 26, 2018

It is a fantastic plugin and has very nice features which can help in finding the quality content via RSS feeds, Google Alerts, twitter and has many other features. Highly recommended!

Brilliant plugin, brilliant support!

By agoraevolution on March 11, 2018

This powerful plugin is well designed (very ergonomic) and enables you to boost your blog in a way never known before! Also, Mark is able to take your remarks into account and provide answers with an impressive velocity and in a very simple way. My 5 stars, both to the plugin and its author!

Excellent plugin and support

By moz261 on October 6, 2017

Mark is very reactive and his plugin very useful to enhance or improve your content publication. Do not miss it !

Works perfectly, amazing support

By tugeye on July 21, 2017

It creates clean posts and the import is accurate. After fine tuning the topic keywords, it does a great job of filtering and displaying just the posts you want. Once you use it for a while, you see that it is more powerful than it originally seems.

Awesome - after some help from MyCurator

By LiveLikeTom on May 24, 2017

After installing the plugin and following all the instructions, it does not show the topic I created and therefore it does not curate anything either. Sources have been added, but the topic just does not appear anywhere. After looking for resources and contacting support-desk, no answers were given. So completely useless. Even after uninstalling it and re-installing. So just try your regular RSS-feeds and do the old fashioned curating, way faster. When I first installed MyCurator, it didn't work and a post on the helpforum wasn't replied. But after leaving my review here, they got back to me and now it works amazing! Love the app and the way it integrates with WP if you want to re-use the curated content to create your own content! Pricing is in issue for a small blog like mine, but with the current free options it is a good pick for bloggers who don't have that much time anyway.

What did we do before this amazing plugin !!!!

By ianjas on March 29, 2017

This plugin has saved our lives!! You just need to go through the basic video training modules and you are up and running in no time. I had some issues in the beginning which were resolved within hours - amazing customer service. I highly recommend this !!! Thank you

Secret Sauce + Fast Response When Needed

By breathingisimportant on March 29, 2017

Thank you for creating this plugin. It's really providing miracles for our project. Everyone wants to know my secret sauce for content. This is it. Simple, fast and reliable. Also, just so you know, the number one reason why i bought your plugin was because when i did have a question your response time was the fastest i've ever seen. I needed high end content for a low price and it came with fast help when needed. That made it a common sense purchase for me. A lot of developers out there could learn a thing or two about quality customer service from you. Thanks again and let me know if you have anything to test or roll out in the future.

Garbage - don't waste your time

Hobbled beyond usability. Push to pay before you can even evaluate if there is any value.
