About Legacy MediaTech Newsroom Suite
From the official readme · v0.7.1Description
Legacy MediaTech Newsroom Suite is a free companion for news, magazine, broadcast, and
editorial websites. It provides a guided Modern Newsroom starter
site that preserves existing content and creates clearly labeled editable samples.
Features include:
- Five-step launch wizard for style, branding, starter content, search, navigation, and launch review
- Essential newsroom categories and policy pages
- Primary navigation setup
- Six editable sample articles
- Modern Newsroom starter-site foundation
- Modern Newsroom visual preset with safe, content-preserving application
- Manual social audience counter widget and shortcode
- Reading-time display
- Optional NewsArticle schema that disables itself when Rank Math or Yoast is active
- Latest-news shortcode
- Permission-based automatic social publishing through secure webhooks
- Reliable, editable homepage search title and description with Rank Math integration
- Per-network connections, editable message templates, and per-story overrides
- No social account passwords stored in WordPress
The plugin works with any standards-compliant theme and is designed to integrate
especially well with the free Legacy MediaTech Newsroom theme.
External services
Automatic social publishing is optional and disabled by default. When a site
administrator enables it, confirms permission, and supplies a webhook URL, the
plugin sends the story title, excerpt, URL, featured-image URL, author, site
name, publication time, and formatted message to that administrator-selected
service. No request is sent until the administrator explicitly configures and
enables a connection. Data handling is governed by the selected provider’s
terms and privacy policy.
Installation
- Upload the plugin or install it from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
- Activate Legacy MediaTech Newsroom Suite.
- Open Appearance > Newsroom Launch Wizard.
- Follow the five guided setup steps and choose a starter site if needed.
- Replace all sample content before launching your publication.
Frequently asked questions
Will the importer delete my content?
No. The importer preserves existing posts, pages, categories, and media. It only creates items that are not already present.
Does it download third-party images?
No. The importer uses text-only sample content to avoid licensing and privacy surprises. Publishers can add their own properly licensed images.
Does it replace my SEO plugin?
No. The fallback NewsArticle schema automatically disables itself when Rank Math or Yoast SEO is active.
