Cuerda-Feed-total is a plugin for media organizations that generates and manages RSS/XML and other distribution data in accordance with the specifications of news distribution destinations such as Yahoo! News, LINE NEWS, SmartNews, and Gunosy.
Publishing, updates, and withdrawals are automatically reflected in the data for each distribution destination. Distribution can be configured by category, tag, author, or individual post, reducing the need to develop separate RSS/XML feeds and distribution processes for each destination.
Installing this plugin alone does not start distribution to any media service. Before use, you must complete the required contract and review process with the intended distribution destination and obtain its distribution specifications.
