This plugin enables you to publish Guardian articles directly to your blog.
Here are some of the things it does:
<ul>
<li>
Browse and search for articles to publish
</li>
<li>
Post articles (or ‘Save to Drafts’) directly from your ‘Posts’ admin panel
</li>
<li>
Automatic check-in and replace to make sure you have published the most current version of the article
</li>
</ul>
When publishing articles from the Guardian, please adhere to our publishing guidelines, and be aware of the Terms and Conditions. Guidelines appear in the plug-in admin panel and the T&Cs are on our web site, but here are some reminders:
<ul>
<li>
Changes. You mustn’t remove or alter the text, links or images you get from us.
</li>
<li>
Key. If you don’t have a key, get one here: http://open-platform.theguardian.com. It’s required. If you do have one, please don’t share it or use it anywhere else.
</li>
<li>
Deletions. Sometimes but very rarely we have to remove articles. When that happens, this plug-in will replace the Guardian content within your blog post with a message saying that the content is not available anymore.
</li>
</ul>
This plug-in is designed to be used as is. We have several ways of working with partners if you want to do something different. Find out more here:

If you have ideas on how to improve the plug-in or other things we could do with WordPress, please join the conversation here:

<h4>Privacy / GDPR</h4>
This plugin does not collect any user or visitor data nor set browser cookies. Using this plugin should not impact your site privacy policy in any way.
Data that is published
An XML Sitemap index, referencing other sitemaps containing your web site’s public post URLs of selected post types that are already public, along with their last modification date and associated image URLs, and any selected public archive URLs. 
An author sitemap can be included, which will contain links to author archive pages. These urls contain author/user slugs, and the author archives can contain author bio information. If you wish to keep this out of public domain, then deactivate the author sitemap and use an SEO plugin to add noindex headers to the respective archive pages.
A Google News Sitemap containing your web site’s public and recent (last 48 hours) URLs of selected news post type, along with their publication time stamp and associated image URL.
Data that is transmitted
when a connection between your site and Google Search Console is configured in this plugin, the sitemap index and google news sitemap can be submitted to Google. No data is transmitted to any third party.

XML Sitemap & Google News
