This plugin provides a flexible way to display and style Notion pages using shortcodes, manage individual page refreshes, and configure custom styles in the WordPress admin. ### Key Features * **Sync Notion Content**: Pull content from any Notion database using your API Key and Database URL. * **Content Shortcodes**: Generate shortcodes for individual Notion pages to display them easily in posts or pages. * **Flexible Styling**: Customize styles for tables, lists, and list items, and add global custom CSS. * **Local Storage**: Stores Notion content locally, reducing API calls and improving performance. * **Customizable Admin Interface**: Set up tabs for easy style and custom CSS management. ### Usage 1. After setup, navigate to **Content Importer for Notion > Notion Pages** to see a list of pages from your connected Notion database. 2. Copy the shortcode for a page and paste it into any WordPress post or page. 3. Customize styles and global CSS under **Content Importer for Notion > Styles**. ### External services This plugin uses the Notion API to fetch content from Notion databases and display them in WordPress. It does not use the Notion API to update content in Notion. The data that is sent to the api are the Developer Integration Token and the Database URL. These are user generated and stored in the WordPress database. Content from Notion is stored locally as a custom post type. This reduces the number of API calls and improves performance and reduces the number of API calls to Notion. Content can be refreshed manually for specific pages or all pages at once.

It only uses the data that you provide to it. The Developer Integration Token and the Database URL are stored in the WordPress database and are not shared with any external services. The content is stored locally as a custom post type and is not shared with any external services. ### License This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.

It’s a free tool that fills a gap in the open-source plugin ecosystem on WordPress.org. The big question is: will this base version remain free in the long term? Can users rely on having access to the current features without future limitations? Right now, it perfectly meets the needs of users looking for a free solution. So, well done, and keep up the good work!
