3. Guides

This section contains several guides explaining how to do certain things by using the plugin. These are just a collection of the instructions already available in the documentation. Not everything that can be done in the plugin is listed here. Although the names of the settings of WP Content Crawler are generally self-explanatory, you can refer to the documentations of the settings if you cannot find the guide you are looking for here.

Interactive guides

The plugin has interactive guides as well. You can reach the interactive guides by clicking to Guides button shown at the bottom right corner of the pages of the plugin. To start the guide or one of its steps, just click its play button. Note that not every guide listed here is available as an interactive guide. So, if you cannot find the guide you are looking for as an interactive guide, you can check this page to see if it is available here.
