Load JavaScript
Some content may need javascript enabled to display correctly. Check this box to enable javascript while selecting content.

Load Restricted Image Content
Some images will not load due to cross domain conflicts. Use this feature to load these restricted images. However, it doesn’t work with all server configurations. Use with caution.

Inline CSS
Since the live scrape pulls content without css, you may need to add your own css to get the content to appear correctly on your site. The content is wrapped with a div using the class “.wplsp-live” or the id “#wplsp-live-[id]” with the id of your shortcode to keep this css from affecting any other content on the page. You do not need to wrap your css in tags as they are added automatically. Simply add your css using “.wplsp-live” in front of any element you wish to change. Once you click out of the css field your content will refresh with the style changes.

Sample Inline CSS:

.wplsp-live span {font-weight: bold;}

Once your live scrape is created, a new entry will be added to the Live Scrape Shortcodes table displaying the shortcode to use on your site.

CSS Selectors

Changing this field affects how data is pulled from the url. Please only change this value if you understand how to use CSS selectors to choose the data for each field. Thank you!

Once your live scrape is created, a new entry will be added to the Live Scrape Shortcodes table displaying the shortcode to use on your site.
