Introduction

The RSS Post Importer plugin lets you import posts or pages from an external site to your WordPress site. It can be useful for linking together sites that you own that should share content mutually, or for scraping similar sites for content that relates to what your site is about.

The integration with Gemini allows to generate new unique articles on your site taking the RSS feed content as a base.

What is Gemini

Gemini, also known as Bard, is a friendly artificial intelligence chatbot created by Google. It is built on the large language model (LLM) of the same name and was developed as a direct response to the rapid growth of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Gemini was introduced in a limited capacity in March 2023 and later expanded to other countries in May. It was previously built on PaLM and initially belonged to the LaMDA family of large language models.

Creating API Key

To integrate Gemini with the RSS Post Importer, you will need an API key. To obtain it, you need to sign up on the Google AI Studio site. You need to register and verify your phone number. After you are registered and logged-in, head to the API Keys to create and get the key.

Copy this key and keep it safe and secure, as it provides access to your account and services. The copied key will be needed while configuring the plugin.

Enabling Gemini Integration On Your Site

To configure the default integration settings, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM RSS Post Importer Pro → Options → Gemini tab.

There you can find the following settings:

• Enable Gemini - Turn on this option to activate Gemini feature.
• Gemini Key - Add here Gemini API key obtained on the site Google AI Studio.
• Gemini Model - The plugin supports two versions of Gemini which you can choose - Gemini Pro and Gemini Pro 1.5. Have a note that currently the version Gemini Pro 1.5 is a beta version, so it can give unexpected results.
• Gemini Reply Length - Set the maximum length of the reply requested from the Gemini. This value is set in tokens. Have a note that Gemini Pro replies are limited by 2048 tokens, while Gemini Pro 1.5 can be unlimited.
• Gemini Temperature - This option allows to define how accurate the generated forum answer will be. This value ranges from 0 to 2. Lower temperatures are good for prompts that require a more deterministic and less open-ended or creative response, while higher temperatures can lead to more diverse or creative results.
• Gemini Prompt Title Template - Specify the request which the plugin will be sending to Gemini for generating new title for the article. Important: this template must contain the following placeholder: {rss_title}.
• Gemini Prompt Content Template - Specify the request which the plugin will be sending to Gemini for generating new content for the article. Important: this template must contain the following placeholder: {rss_content}.
• Gemini Safety Level - The Gemini API blocks content based on the probability of content being unsafe. By default, safety settings block content (including prompts) with medium or higher probability of being unsafe across any dimension. You can change safety level to the one is appropriate for your use case:
  • Always show regardless of probability of being harmful
  • Block low, medium or high probability of being harmful
  • Block medium or high probability of being harmful
  • Block high probability of being harmful

These settings are the default ones. For each added RSS feed you can enable or disable the Gemini integration and override some of the default settings.

When you finished configuring the settings, click the button Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

So, let's enable the Gemini feature, add an API key, and change both prompt templates to:

• Write a new title based on this: {rss_title}
• Write a new article based on this: {rss_content}

And change the safety level to:

• Always show regardless of probability of being harmful

This is how our settings look like after setting up:

These settings are the default ones. For each added RSS feed you can enable or disable the Gemini integration and override some of the default settings.

So, let's configure the RSS feed import.

RSS Feed Settings

To manage RSS feeds, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM RSS Post Importer Pro → RSS Feeds. There you can either add new RSS feed by clicking the Add RSS Feed button or edit the existing feed by hovering on it and clicking Edit.

In the box General, find the section API Settings. The options there allow you to enable the Gemini feature for this RSS feed and override some of the global plugin settings.

The settings are:

• Use Gemini for current feed - Check the box to enable the Gemini feature for the current RSS feed. By default, it's disabled.

Next 6 options allow you to override the global plugin settings:

• Gemini Reply Length
• Gemini Temperature
• Gemini Safety Level
• Disable rewriting the title with Gemini - Turn on this option if you want to keep the original article title provided by the source feed.
• Gemini Prompt title template
• Gemini Prompt content template

If some field is empty, then it follows the global plugin settings.

Let's create 2 feeds with the same RSS source:

1. The first one will follow the global Gemini integration settings. Here we will just enable the first option and keep all other fields empty, so the task will be to write a new article based on the content fetched from RSS feed:

2. For the second field, we will change the prompt template for the title and content - the task will be to translate the content to French:

Examples of Generated Content

First let's see the original content article in the RSS feed:

Here's the example of the post, where Gemini should write a new article:

And here's the example of the post, where the Gemini should just translate the content to French:

TIP

If you want to have more control over the published content, you can hold the generated content for moderation. When editing the RSS import process, find the box Post Template (Export). You can choose the necessary Status for the generated posts in the relevant option, for example - Draft. This way, you can review and edit articles before publishing them.

End Result

Following the instructions found in the plugin and guides, you should be able to integrate the plugin with Gemini and automatically generate articles based on the RSS feed content.
