Enter your Mynewsdesk API key in **Settings » myNewsDesk**, place the `[mynewsdesk]` shortcode anywhere on your site, and the plugin fetches and renders your press releases, news, blog posts, events, images, videos, documents and contacts. This plugin is not built by Mynewsdesk and Mynewsdesk does not provide support for it. **Highlights** * Modern, object-oriented codebase (PHP 8.0+). * All output is escaped; all input is sanitized. * AJAX requests are protected by WordPress nonces. * HTTP requests use the WordPress HTTP API (`wp_remote_get`) with timeout and user- agent. * XML parsing is hardened against XXE (`LIBXML_NONET`). * Compatible with WordPress 6.5 through 7.0. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `wp-content/plugins/` or install it through the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen. 3. Open **Settings » myNewsDesk** and enter your unique Mynewsdesk API key. 4. Set the pressroom site (country code such as `se` for Sweden or `uk` for the United Kingdom). 5. Pick a default media type and the media types you want to display. 6. Add the `[mynewsdesk]` shortcode to a page or post. ## FAQ ### Where do I get the API key? Contact the Mynewsdesk team to obtain an API key. See https://www.mynewsdesk.com/ docs/webservice_pressroom for details. ### Why am I seeing “Unable to load content from Mynewsdesk”? The plugin could not reach the Mynewsdesk API or received an invalid XML response. Verify your API key, pressroom site and that outbound HTTPS traffic is allowed from your server. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6ee183a4153e1c17932e9b7fb9f946e46594a7eb3cfd4fc76876a95485d145bc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Working fine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-fine-79/)󠁿 [mansoormunib](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mansoormunib/) February 8, 2017 Simple and clean ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a6d540b596998b116ff47f0aac83c6466f8757ead07f4e5294beab80679adf84? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/7739279/)󠁿 [dinwebb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dinwebb/) February 7, 2017 ..

Existing installs are migrated automatically on activation or first admin load; legacy values are preserved so downgrades remain safe. * Set requirements: WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.0+. #### 1.5 * Legacy release. ## Meta * Version **2.0.0** * Last updated **1 month ago** * Active installations **10+** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.1** * PHP version ** 8.0 or higher ** * Tags * [news](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/news/)[press releases](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/press-releases/) [shortcode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/shortcode/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mynewsdesk/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 2 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mynewsdesk/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ mansoormunib ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mansoormunib/) * [ Open source mnd ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mnddev/) ## Support Got something to say?
