News aggregator advice

  • I would like some advice. I would like to bring news to my site from other sites like this service here https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/?search=skegness and here https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/areas-we-cover/England/Lincolnshire/Skegness but i do not want it to create posts.

    What i mean is, when bringing in news from other sites where i would bring in the headline and the first sentence, i then want people to be able to click the story and go to the other site. I do not want the plugin to create a post or page on my site.

    I have looked at a plugin called feedzy but not sure they provide what i am looking for. i do not want thousands of low quality pages.

    can anyone please offer me some advice

  • Your use case is actually a typical application for RSS feeds. The pages that serve as your source should offer their content in an RSS feed. You can then integrate this into your website – without having to import the data.

    There are plugins for this, but you can also use the RSS block in the Block Editor without an additional plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/rss-block/

    You would have to ask whether the sites offer their content as RSS. Ideally, they should be able to give you a URL for this, which you can then integrate into your site to display the data.

    If this is not possible, there is still the option of reading the data from the pages and displaying it on your site. However, this is time-consuming and error-prone for many reasons. It also requires customised programming, which is why there will be no plugin for it. If you need help with this, you can probably find it here: https://jobs.wordpress.net/
