WP News feed widget Plugin

WP News feed widget is a simple news feed widget, with pagination, to display the latest news on your website. It will display a list of your latest news titles, with the publication time (if today) or the publication date next to it.

In the widget configuration, you can set the number of posts you want to include, the number of posts per page, chosse a style or disable the plugin’s css if you want to apply your own.

The widget is customizable through a lot of filters and actions hooks.

1. Upload wp-news-feed-widget to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Widgets’ and drop it in your desired widget zone to configure

What are the css classes to style the widget ?

/* Select category dropdown */
.wp-newsfw-select> .postform {}

/* pager wrapper */ .wpnewsfw-pager, .info_text {} /* pager items */ .page_link {} .active_page {} .no_more {} /* prev & next items */ .visually-hidden {} [dir=rtl] .visually-hidden {} .previous_link, .next_link {} /* list items */ .wp-newsfw-item {} 

Why can’t I configure more options ?

Options & customization can be added with the filter & hooks available, or with the add-ons.
