详情介绍:
- Sitemaps. A Google News sitemap for each language, and sitemaps for Bing, Yandex and Baidu. They follow each platform's published rules, which are kept in small data files (rule packs) that you can read.
- Partner feeds. Feeds for Microsoft Start, Yahoo News, Apple News and SmartNews, ready for the day a platform accepts your application. You record the state of each application by hand, because the plugin cannot see it.
- Open readers and listings. A feed for Flipboard and other readers that need no approval, and the details a news aggregator asks for when you ask to be listed.
- Pushes. Tells IndexNow search engines and WebSub hubs when an article is published, changed or removed, and posts to your own outlets: Telegram, Mastodon, Bluesky and webhooks. Pushes run in a background queue with retries and a log.
- Article check. Every article is checked against the rules of each channel that is on: title, date, author, body, image, alt text and photo credit. It says in plain words what each platform will do with the article, and how to fix it. The same check shows in the editor before you publish.
- Watching. A delivery log, a fetch monitor that shows when each platform last read your feeds, alerts by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams, and a weekly summary. An optional referrals report, off by default, counts visits by the platform they came from, without cookies and without storing anything about the visitor.
- Many languages. One sitemap and feed per language, with Polylang and WPML or on a single-language site. The interface is translatable, and right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are mirrored.
- Control. Hold an article back, choose per article which channels get it, take an article down from every channel in one step, and, if you wish, stop a publish that fails the checks until a person gives a reason.
- Follow links. A block and a shortcode that link readers to your Google News, Mastodon, Telegram, Bluesky and Apple News pages.
- Safe changes. A restore point of the plugin's settings before an update, and a demo mode that fills a new site with clearly marked sample articles so you can look around without sending anything.
- Optional AI assistant. Needs WordPress 7.0 or newer. It uses the AI provider you connect in WordPress, only after you turn it on and agree to it, and a person approves every suggestion. The plugin stores no AI keys.
vendor/woocommerce/action-scheduler folder. It is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later. Its source and license text are in that folder, and it is also published at https://github.com/woocommerce/action-scheduler.

常见问题:
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature is in every install. There are no license keys, no add-ons and no locked features, and the plugin sells nothing.
Does it send anything when I publish a post?
No. Publishing only records that the post changed and puts work in a queue. The queue runs afterwards and contacts a service only if you turned on the channel, or the Slack or Microsoft Teams alert, for it. See External services below for each service, what is sent and when.
Will my articles appear in Google News, Microsoft Start or Apple News?
Not by itself. Some platforms read a sitemap or a feed without asking. Others, such as Microsoft Start, Yahoo News, Apple News and SmartNews, review each publisher. News Distribution prepares correct output and helps you keep track of your applications. The platform makes the decision.
Which translation plugins does it work with?
Polylang and WPML. Without one, the site is treated as having a single language. Each language gets its own sitemap and feed.
Do I need an AI provider?
No. The AI assistant is optional and needs WordPress 7.0 or newer. It is off until you turn it on. The plugin asks WordPress which providers you have connected and stores no keys of its own.
What happens to my data when I delete the plugin?
Nothing is removed unless you turned on "Delete all News Distribution data when the plugin is deleted" in Settings, Backup and uninstall. When it is on, deleting the plugin removes its settings, tables, article and user data, queued actions and files in the uploads folder.
A platform changed its rules. Do I need a new version of the plugin?
Often only the rule pack changes. The rules are kept in rule packs, which are small data files inside the plugin. A new pack arrives with a plugin update, and Settings, Rules shows which version each platform uses. The plugin does not download rules on its own.
Where do I get help?
Use the support forum for this plugin on WordPress.org.
