This plugin add a News custom post type to your WordPress site. Now you can keep your press releases or time-sensitive announcements in a separate list, without having to juggle categories or tags.
The plugin adds a News tab to your admin menu, which allows you to enter news items just as you would regular posts. The archive list of your news items will appear at <code>/news</code>, and individual news items will appear at <code>/news/<permalink></code>.
Default single item and archive page templates for news items are also provided. These templates have abundant IDs and classes, so that you can style them with your own CSS. 
You may also customize them by putting copies in your theme folder, and changing the markup. When you update the plugin, you will get new features and bug fixes, while keeping any customizations you made in your copies of these templates.
A list of news items may be included in other post content with the list-news-items] shortcode. (See the FAQ for more information on using the shortcode.)
Finally, the plugin adds a Recent News Items widget, which can be placed on any sidebar available in your theme, to show a list of news items in reverse chronological order. You can set the title of this list and the number of news items to show.

Essential Content Types allows you to feature the impressive content through different content/post types on your website just the way you want it. These content/post types are missed by the themes in WordPress Theme Directory as the feature falls more towards the plugins’ territory.
Content is at the forefront of any website. Changing the layout of your important content changes the way your website looks, which may not be a plus point if your current website layout is loved by your users.
Additionally, switching themes changes your website layout completely. Therefore, to keep things looking spic-and- span in your website, we bring you Essential Content.
Essential Content allows you to add up to three content/post types: 
* Portfolio – Create and display your portfolio on your website 
* Testimonials – Add customer testimonials to your website 
* Featured Content – Display the content you want as featured content on your website to attract visitors’ attention 
* Services – Add your services on your website
Features of Essential Content: 
* Enable/Disable any content/post type as needed 
* Light-weight 
* Supports all themes on WordPress
Essential Content is inspired by Jetpack’s Custom Content Types feature.
However, not everyone wants to have a plugin that “does-it- all”. Some may want plugins to be niche focused and concentrate on smaller areas.
That is precisely what we have done with Essential Content. Essential content, true to its name, has only the essential elements. We have added the features that WordPressers use most. We have ruled out all other elements to make it non-bloated and clean. It takes up lesser space and does the job well.
If you think we have missed any essential content/post types, please let us know. We’ll review the frequency of usage and add your suggestions.
