   Hi Chris,

   It's just two days my site was included in Google news. I am facing some problem regarding this 'Publication Name'.

   By default, our plugin takes this name as 'blog name'. Blog name is nothing but the page title.

   Now the publication name I mentioned in Google news application is 'mysite'. Well, the sitemap is showing it as 'mysite: rest of homepage title'. When I submitted this sitemap to Google, it didn't accepted saying 'the publication name in our database and publication name in the sitemap didn't match'.

   I am forced to change the homepage title just to 'mysite' which I mentioned in Google news application. This can hurt the SEO of my blog, and you too know it.

   I am talking about this particular line.,

   $xmlOutput.= "\t\t\t\t<n:name>";
   $xmlOutput.= htmlspecialchars(get_option('blogname'));
   $xmlOutput.= "</n:name>\n";

   Here, I want to show my publication name which was registered in Google news database. I tried to replace the 'blogname' with my Google news publication name. Same time, I want my full length page title to my site's index page.

   Waiting for a reply,
   Thanks in Advance.

   Hi Shivaa,

   To change the publication name in the code of the plugin please see the code below and replace the text PUBLICATION NAME with whatever you want...

   $xmlOutput.= "\t\t\t\t<n:name>";
   $xmlOutput.= "PUBLICATION NAME";
   $xmlOutput.= "</n:name>\n";

   That is hopefully the hack you where after, let me know how you get on.

   Chris.
