Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Newsroom OS – Google Discover, Google News, Schema & Editorial Workflow
No wp-config edit needed. After upgrade, open Settings & Prompts and click Enable modern settings UI, or enable Modern admin UI under Editorial → Editor UX and save. The setup wizard (step 4) can turn it on during first run. You get the full React admin — Dashboard (Kanban + radar), Chief Insights, Author Performance, and Settings — with sidebar navigation. Switch back anytime via Classic links or ?ui=classic on any tab.
Yes — for publishers and newsrooms, not generic blogs. The Discover Score checklist scores hero image (1200px+, 16:9), headline quality, topic/tags, OG image, and timeliness before publish. Trend Radar pulls Google Trends and News for your target country. Search Console sync adds real Discover clicks per post and author (separate metric from the editorial score).
Partially — built for editorial teams. Connect via service account (webmasters.readonly), sync Discover, Google News, and web search clicks into WordPress, and show them on Author Performance, Chief Insights, My Inbox, and the Posts list. It does not replace the Search Console UI — it surfaces GSC data where writers and chiefs already work.
Yes. NewsArticle and LiveBlogPosting JSON-LD with Organization, WebPage, author Person, geo, and entity about / mentions from your tags (Wikidata enrichment). Story timelines output CollectionPage schema. Works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and SEOPress.
Yes. GSC sync, Chief Insights, Author Performance, IndexNow, Auto-Timeline, task messaging, duplicate-tag guard, and all desk modules are included — no license key. AI Assist is also included but uses your own OpenAI, Gemini, or Groq API key (BYOK); provider free tiers work. Optional anonymous install ping sends site URL + version to NewsOS (no post content).
Yes (BYOK): OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Groq with your own API key — titles, optimize, trend keywords, meta description (apply to Yoast/Rank Math), tag match, and content brief from trends. Without an API key you still get Publication Readiness, Smart Tags, tasks, Discover Score, schema, GSC, and Trend Radar.
Tasks & assignments (deadlines, keywords, briefs, reference links), Dashboard KPIs and kanban-style desk view, My Inbox for writers, task threads + email alerts, Breaking news mode with live updates, GSC traffic-drop alerts, and weekly desk report email. Chiefs use Chief Insights; writers see only their assignments.
The Discover Score checklist runs before publish: featured image size and aspect ratio, headline length and clickbait cues, topic/tags, OG image, author signals, and internal links. Trend Radar surfaces rising topics from Google Trends and News. Search Console sync adds measured Discover clicks so chiefs can coach writers on outcomes, not just checklists.
It means aligning articles with Discover distribution signals — strong hero images, clear non-clickbait headlines, timely topics, entity-rich tags, and valid publisher schema — while tracking whether those choices correlate with real Discover traffic after publish (GSC sync).
No plugin can guarantee Discover placement. Newsroom OS gives editors a repeatable pre-publish workflow (Discover Score + Focus), breaking-news LiveBlog tools, and Search Console Discover metrics per post and author so you can iterate on what actually earns clicks.
