News portal with WordPress

Newswatch (www.newswatch.in) had been running on Nucleus CMS. I have converted the site (mostly manually through phpMyadmin) to WordPress. I have converted another site too (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/731990) in the recent past.

The new WordPress site is this: https://www.newswatch.in
The old Nucleus site is still there: https://www.newswatch.in/old/

Reasons for switching over to WordPress:
(i) Better search functionality
(ii) Multi-category feature
(iii) Better comments system

But there is one feature that I am missing sorely in WordPress – a plugin called ItemList. See it in action here:
https://www.newswatch.in/old/index.php?archivelist=1

And also one called ShowBlogs which can display any particular item that you might want anywhere. The get-a-post plugin doesn’t seem to work. See this (unreplied) thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/74819

Reactions, suggestions, ratings, please.

Cheers.
