Frequently asked questions.
Can I have more than one headline widget?
Yes, you can have as many widgets as you like. Each widget is specific to a news category.
Are the news headlines visible to search engines?
Yes. By picking a news category relevant to your blog’s topic, you can add some relevant and up-to-date content to your site.
How often do the headlines update?
This plugin fetches the headlines from the Guardian’s Open Platform Content API. It then caches the headlines for five minutes. When that five minutes is up, the next time someone visits your site the plugin will again retrieve fresh data.
