It provides a guided Modern Newsroom starter site that preserves existing content and creates clearly labeled editable samples. Features include: * Five-step launch wizard for style, branding, starter content, search, navigation, and launch review * Essential newsroom categories and policy pages * Primary navigation setup * Six editable sample articles * Modern Newsroom starter-site foundation * Modern Newsroom visual preset with safe, content-preserving application * Manual social audience counter widget and shortcode * Reading-time display * Optional NewsArticle schema that disables itself when Rank Math or Yoast is active * Latest-news shortcode * Permission-based automatic social publishing through secure webhooks * Reliable, editable homepage search title and description with Rank Math integration * Per-network connections, editable message templates, and per-story overrides * No social account passwords stored in WordPress The plugin works with any standards-compliant theme and is designed to integrate especially well with the free Legacy MediaTech Newsroom theme. ### External services Automatic social publishing is optional and disabled by default. When a site administrator enables it, confirms permission, and supplies a webhook URL, the plugin sends the story title, excerpt, URL, featured-image URL, author, site name, publication time, and formatted message to that administrator-selected service. No request is sent until the administrator explicitly configures and enables a connection. Data handling is governed by the selected provider’s terms and privacy policy. ## Screenshots [⌊A responsive newsroom homepage with lead coverage and category sections.⌉⌊A responsive newsroom homepage with lead coverage and category sections.⌉[ A responsive newsroom homepage with lead coverage and category sections.

No. The importer preserves existing posts, pages, categories, and media. It only creates items that are not already present. ### Does it download third-party images? No. The importer uses text-only sample content to avoid licensing and privacy surprises. Publishers can add their own properly licensed images. ### Does it replace my SEO plugin? No. The fallback NewsArticle schema automatically disables itself when Rank Math or Yoast SEO is active. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Legacy MediaTech Newsroom Suite” is open source software.
