About this plugin
DaazSync turns any WordPress site into a real-time news hub. Point it at any RSS or Atom feed, choose a layout and paste a shortcode — your curated news section is live in minutes.
No coding. No page-builder lock-in. No external dependencies.
✅ Everything You Need — Completely Free
5 Ready-to-Use Display Layouts
Pick the layout that fits your design and switch it per shortcode:
- Grid — responsive card grid, ideal for magazine-style pages and news portals
- List — clean vertical list, perfect for sidebars and content-heavy pages
- Carousel — auto-playing or click-to-advance article slider
- Hero — large featured article with supporting cards alongside
- Minimal — ultra-light display for footers, widgets and embeds
Unlimited RSS / Atom Feeds
Add as many sources as you need. Each feed gets its own category, enabling tight per-shortcode filtering without any extra configuration.
Powerful Shortcode System
One shortcode gives you full control over every news block:
[newssync layout="grid" limit="6" category="Tech"]
Available attributes:
- layout — grid, list, carousel, hero, minimal
- limit — how many articles to display
- category — show only feeds from a specific category
- offset — skip the first N articles (great for multi-column layouts)
- orderby / order — sort by date or title, ascending or descending
- show_image, show_date, show_excerpt, show_source — toggle each element independently
- excerpt_length — set how many words appear in the preview
Auto-Import as WordPress Posts
Enable the built-in scheduler and new articles from your feeds become real WordPress posts — fully searchable, categorisable and SEO-friendly. Run imports on a schedule or trigger them manually from the dashboard.
Smart Caching
Each feed is cached independently as a WordPress transient. You control the duration. Zero front-end API calls — output is clean, static HTML.
Works Everywhere
Compatible with the Gutenberg editor (Shortcode block), Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, the Classic Editor and any PHP template.
🚀 Take It Further with DaazSync PRO
DaazSync PRO is a premium add-on that extends the free plugin with advanced tools for demanding publishers, agencies and power users.
Keyword Filtering per Shortcode
Display only articles that match specific topics — using simple OR logic or precise AND-groups to show articles at the intersection of two subjects:
[newssync keyword_filter="AI,machine learning|crypto,blockchain,DeFi"]
→ Shows only articles that mention both AI and a crypto topic.
Site-Wide Advanced Filtering
Set global include and exclude keyword rules from the admin panel. Every shortcode on every page respects them automatically.
Full-Text Extraction
Standard RSS feeds only carry a short excerpt. PRO fetches the full article body from the source page — ideal for richer display or AI summaries.
AI-Powered Article Summaries
Auto-generate article summaries in your language using OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or any custom API provider. Bring your own key — no middleman markup.
Managed Feeds Dashboard
A production-ready feed management table with live status indicators, one-click manual refresh, last-import timestamps and per-feed error reporting.
Detailed Import Logs
Per-article status, error traces and batch timing — so you always know exactly what happened during an import and can diagnose feed problems in seconds.
Priority Support
Direct email support with a guaranteed 48-hour response.
