We’re excited to bring you an all-new update with some amazing new features and improvements!

This feature is fully customizable, allowing you to choose the destination category, tags, and more. It’s perfect for streamlining the process of turning regular discussions into official news posts!
Additionally, the news post editor has received a boost with a full-screen layout, making editing and content creation even easier. We’ve also added a convenient admin option to control the visibility of the search box on the homepage, so you can manage your site's layout exactly how you want.
We’ve made a few tweaks behind the scenes, such as updating the default display order of the "News" tab and adjusting the default number of news posts shown on the index page for fresh installs.
