Hello,
I just purchased your plugin. It seems to work just fine so far. However, what is the difference between “Top News to Posts” and “Custom News to Posts” categories on the left side menu? I was posting from the “Top News to Posts” first. When I looked at the other one they look identical. I don’t see a difference between them as even the sources in the dropdown menus appear to be the same. I couldn’t find any real explanation for why I would use one over the other and for what purpose. Can you point me in the right direction to answer this question? Thank you.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your purchase.
The main difference between the two is the following:
– the ‘Top News to Posts’ menu imports content from the Top endpoint of NewsAPI: https://newsapi.org/docs/endpoints/top-headlines
– the ‘Custom News to Posts’ menu imports content from the Everything endpoint of NewsAPI: https://newsapi.org/docs/endpoints/everything
The Top endpoint will return a limited set of results, that are most popular between users, while the Everything endpoint will return all news articles that were indexed by NewsAPI (older news importing also possible).
Top:
This endpoint provides live top and breaking headlines for a country, specific category in a country, single source, or multiple sources. You can also search with keywords. Articles are sorted by the earliest date published first.This endpoint is great for retrieving headlines for display on news tickers or similar.
Everything:
Search through millions of articles from over 30,000 large and small news sources and blogs. This includes breaking news as well as lesser articles.This endpoint suits article discovery and analysis, but can be used to retrieve articles for display, too.
Thank you also for pointing out that the difference between the two plugin menus is not so clear right now, I will make also a tutorial video on my YouTube channel, where I will explain the difference clearly.
