FAQ
Press releases and press coverage are created as post types and behave as such. This means that you can use all of the standard WordPress functionality to include posts into your templates. Additionally, the [nooz] shortcode allows you to insert press release and press coverage lists on any of your pages (see Nooz Settings > Help > Shortcode Usage).
It might be, check the “nooz/languages” folder to see if a translation is already available for your locale. You can use the included POT file to create a new translation for your region. Read more about WordPress Localization.
We have not done much testing with the plugin on WordPress Multisite. We are doing our best to develop within the WordPress API.
