@drksecret,

I had a look at your single news item page, and I see a quick way you could format it with CSS:

add the following CSS rule to your theme:

.single .type-news {
    clear: both;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0;
    position: relative;
    width: 960px;
}

If you can’t, or would rather not, modify the theme CSS file directly, you could use a plugin, including the CSS editor module that comes with the Jetpack plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/

I hope this helps.

Hi drksecret,

Thanks for trying the plugin.

I would be glad to take a look at adding this feature for you. I’ll try to have an update pushed to the plugin repo this weekend.

(While it is possible to merge your theme’s page template with the plugin’s news loop, it requires some detailed knowledge of PHP and WordPress template practices. I based the default news templates on one of the old Twenty-something themes, and I’ve found that the default doesn’t work for a lot of other themes, unfortunately.)

@jaspen,

Sorry I missed the notice of your question when you asked it. I’m just circling back around to this plugin after being busy with other projects for a while.

To change the URL for the main page and all the individual news items, just change the slug field of the rewrite element in the $args array. This is around line 63 of the file news-cpt.php file.

For instance, change this:

'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'news',
                'with_front' => false
                ),

to this (substitute whatever slug you want your news items to have):

'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'zeitung',
                'with_front' => false
                ),

I hope this is not too late to help. Let me know if you have any other questions.
