A new update is available for News Publisher by XenCustomize.
We’re excited to bring you a feature-packed update with some fresh improvements to elevate your news publishing experience.
You can now display a stylish “About the Author” section with the author’s avatar, name, title, and bio. This section uses the “About you” field from the user’s profile and only appears if it’s filled out. You also have full control over the placement - choose to show it below the news story, in the sidebar, or not at all. Thanks to @PhineasD for commissioning and sponsoring the development of this feature!
Tags now appear in a dedicated block below the content. We’ve given them a cleaner look to make related topics stand out better and offer a more modern feel.
We’ve resolved a missing alert template issue that was causing errors related to mentions.
This update is all about polish, personalization, and presentation. Thanks for your continued support - we hope you love the new update!
Note: The "Contains Ad" button, label, and message block shown in the screenshot are part of a separate add-on and are not included with the core News Publisher add-on.
