2 x news plugins?

Do you mean the same plugin two times?
If so – it’s not possible

“… installed Simply New but it isnt showing on my menu bar.”
You mean the admin menu bar?

You can use two shortcodes. One for “sector” and one for “service”

example
[news cat=1] and [news cat=2]
cat = 1 => sector
cat = 2 => service

Hi

Ive installed a news plugin already (not simply news) this has created a news tab on my wordpress menu bar already.

Ive then gone to install Simply News, however I cant see where I enter news stories via Simply News, the news tab on my menu bar is that of another plug in. Is this not showing because I already have a news plugin or do I need to access this somewhere else.

As mentioned the reason for having 2

1 – News I currently have for a news page
2 – Simply News – I want to install to create a case studies style page utilising the categories menu.

Try to rename the menuitem
In the file news.php on line number 24 – rename ‘News’ to something else

'labels' => array('name' => __('News', 'simple-news'),
to
'labels' => array('name' => __('News' XXX, 'simple-news'),

Are you now able to see both plugins menuitems ?

Unfortunately not, the below is what I entered

‘labels’ => array(‘name’ => __(‘News’ Case Studies, ‘simple-news’),

I get the below error message after clicking Update File:

Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over FTP.

sorry
'labels' => array('name' => __('News XXX', 'simple-news')

‘labels’ => array(‘name’ => __(‘News Case Studies’, ‘simple-news’),

Morning Morten,

Unfortunately not I get the same error message as before.

“Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over https://FTP.”

I’ve even deactivated and tried to change the code but get the same error message.

Strange
Then undo your coding, and try the fix but now with ftp

Thank you Morten,

Where would I find the FTP as the link doesn’t work?

If you do not have an ftp program, I recommend FileZilla
https://filezilla-project.org/

But I sense that you don’t know that much about programming, perhaps this is not the right way for you and your website.

I really don’t think you need two differents news plugin …. think you are going in the wrong direction …. One news plugin and then use categories to differ between what you need.
