Hi,
What a great theme you have here.
I’m using my copy on a demo project on http://www.headlines.ng
I’m creating an aggregated news site using WordPress Automatic Plugin – https://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-automatic-plugin/1904470?_ga=2.31101759.1891220504.1525590354-830612396.1502915622
The plugin automatically pulls post from other sites – in my case latest news from top news sites in my country.
I’m just displaying the news headlines (titles), the idea is to open the news on a new tab on the source website when title is clicked on the homepage.
Thankfully, the plugin has features that makes this possible but its not working with your theme.
I’ve tested it with other themes and WP default themes and it works well.
It seems newspaper theme does not use the standard way that will enable the plugin to alter the permalink.
I need to know how to modify the theme where it builds the source link and use the “post_link” function or read the link from the custom field like WP does when the standard function is used. here is the code that the plugin uses for this job and it is located at the file p_content_filter.php

It’s worth mentioning that when I set newspaper to show latest post on homepage,everything works fine.
Awaiting your prompt response.
Hello sylvadavid10,
Unfortunately, this plugin was not tested with our theme and also, we cannot say for sure if it will work or not as expected with our products, sorry! In order to achieve any good theme results with this plugin, the whole core of the theme will have to be changed and adapted to work this plugin, a task which is not simple and we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry! If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you from studio.envato.com
Thanks for your understanding!
Too bad, the above site is the only reason I purchased the theme and plugin. What a waste!
Looking at the fact that the plugin works perfectly on category pages and when the site is set to show latest post on front page, it’s safe to say it’s because the theme is using your composer to show contents on front page.
You mean you really can’t offer any help or guide? The plugin is working with your theme but doesn’t work when a page is used as homepage.
Again the only problem is that when a custom page is set as homepage, the post that appear on the site homepage which are supposed to take someone to external links were the contents were aggregated from doesn’t work on homepage but it works well on category pages.
It doesn’t really look like a big problem. I really do need help with this please.
Again what the plugin does is to aggregate contents from specified sites. The contents come in as standard WordPress post. The only difference is that the plugin has an option to set that people should be taken to the source website to read the post when they click on it. So the permalink points to the source website instead of the post page on WP.
