I really love the theme… but I’m wondering how you import any news? Is there a feature to import RSS feeds and display them on the site? All your articles in the demos are always up to date so I’m assuming there must be a feature to do this?
If not… what program/plugin is used in conjunction with the theme as it seems to work flawless.
Thank you!
Hi
fyi, we have been using a WP plugin over here called “FeedWordPress” which works very well. We use that with ‘Auto Post Thumbnail PRO’ to bring in a featured image from the first image in a news post.
Note that pulling in news from other sites is typically not good idea unless the site is allowed to do so. Meaning, pulling in news from LA Times would violate their copyright.
However, some ‘newswire’ services allow pulling in news for non-commercial purposes — meaning, you can’t use it to help sell MLM, socks, affiliate program junk sites, etc.
e.g., see free news feeds via RSS here:

Thank you for your reply. I understand the issue in regards to pulling in copyright content: but it’s the free RSS feeds that I’m looks at and with your reply, I’ve got a bit to look at thank you.
The plug-in no longer exists. Does anyone know of any other options?
Hello !
The Newspaper theme was based on the idea of creating content so implementing a plugin / function to import news wasn’t our vision. Unfortunately we cannot recommend any plugins to import news because we do not used them.
Thank you !
Understood. It’s a great package. That is why I licensed it twice. However, I have some strategic partnerships and this feature is something I need to resolve. I’ll deal with it. Better to have a definitive answer than to chase this rabbit. Peace
