Cron Job

In order for PageFeeds Pro w/ SocialSync to work properly, you will now need to set up your Cron job on your server. The Cron job runs the command, and sets the time interval, that PageFeeds runs in order to fetch feeds from the enabled providers and convert them to posts on your system.

The command that will be run is :

curl -L -s https://((YOUR_DOMAIN.COM))/YND_panel/fetch.php

and it is highly suggested you only set the interval for ONCE every hour

You can set your Cron job by login into your server with your favorite SSH client, or by using your server's provided Admin Panel such as C-Panel, or DirectAdmin. As there are differences in the way some panels handle creating Cron jobs, we can't provide examples for every one, but there are instructions for the most commonly used methods below.

If your panel is different than the ones listed, please either consult the panel documentation or contact your hosting provider.

SSH Command Line

If you are comfortable using a command line interface :
