WordPress News Automation Plugin
Plugin features
Automatic News Import from Two Sources
Bring in full articles from your RSS Nepal subscription and from any news website, homepage, section page or feed.
Automatic Scheduling
Fetch news every N minutes (15 by default), using WP-Cron, background execution or a real server cron job.
AI Category Sorting — Hybrid Classifier
Fast keyword scoring handles clear stories; AI steps in only when keywords are uncertain, with voting, verification and a human review queue.
Automatic Province Tagging
Identifies which of the seven provinces a story is about from districts, towns and datelines.
Hard News / Soft News Filtering
Classify web stories as hard or soft news and choose what to import — with optional editor approval for hard news.
Cross-Source Duplicate Detection
Catches the same story arriving from RSS Nepal and other websites — even with different headlines and Nepali spelling variations.
Photos and AI Image Management
Uses the original article's photo, rejects unsuitable images, and generates a safe AI image only when none is usable.
Copy or Rewrite with AI
Import articles as-is, or generate a unique Nepali or English version with a second-pass fact check against the original.
Newsroom Dashboard
A WordPress-native workspace for imported stories, AI review, activity history and built-in help.
