Adding Functionality and Features to Your Website
Now that you’ve understood how to go about WordPress, here is how you can add more functionality to your website. WordPress itself houses thousands of plugins to choose from but you can also install third-party paid plugins. You can go to the Plugins section in WordPress and search for the plugin to add the functionality you need. Installation is pretty straight-forward but you will need to click activate to integrate it with your news website. There are other methods to install third-party plugins and you can find the detailed guide here.
Some of the plugins that you must include on your news website are All in One SEO that helps you improve your WordPress SEO and get more traffic from Google, iZooto that helps you handle push notifications after a reader leaves your website, and the MonsterInsights plugin that integrates Google Analytics to help you understand where and how your traffic comes from. Google Analytics tells you which articles work and which don’t. This will in turn help you make sound content strategies for the future.
