🧠 Notes (GPL, customization, SEO)

• License: Distribute only if your copy is under GPL/extended GPL from a legitimate source; keep author credits/files.
• Customization tips: pair this addon with a lean news theme, enable only 4-5 widgets per page, and use Elementor’s global colours/typography for consistent branding.
• SEO assurance: because it uses native WP posts + Elementor, it inherits your theme’s schema and can be combined with SEO plugins (Yoast, RankMath). Optimise slugs, breadcrumbs, and featured images for Google News.
