KS News

KS News adds a dedicated news post type to WordPress. News content has its own hierarchical categories (news_category) and non-hierarchical tags (news_tag), so its terms never mix with regular post categories or tags.

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/kostyasorokin/wp-ks-news/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

KS News adds a dedicated news post type to WordPress. News content has its own hierarchical categories (news_category) and non-hierarchical tags (news_tag), so its terms never mix with regular post categories or tags.

Features

  • Public news archive at /news/
  • Single news URLs at /news/<name>/
  • Category archives at /news/category/<term>/
  • Tag archives at /news/tag/<term>/
  • Block editor and REST API support
  • Title, editor, author, excerpt, featured image, comments, and revisions
  • Russian and Ukrainian translations; all source strings remain English
  • Multisite-safe activation and rewrite setup

Installation

  1. Copy ks-news into wp-content/plugins.
  2. Run composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader in the plugin directory if vendor/ is not included in the package.
  3. Activate KS News in WordPress.
  4. Add content under News in the admin menu.

Activation registers the routes and flushes rewrite rules. Deactivation removes only the runtime registrations; it never deletes news, categories, or tags.

Extension points

  • ksNewsPostTypeArgs
  • ksNewsCategoryTaxonomyArgs
  • ksNewsTagTaxonomyArgs

Each filter receives the complete registration arguments immediately before the corresponding WordPress registration function is called.
