NewsForge is built for publishers who want a real editorial workflow — reporters draft and submit, editors approve or reject, admins manage everything from one dashboard. Runs on plain PHP and MySQL, so it installs on ordinary shared hosting in minutes.

FRONTEND

A Fast, Modern Reading Experience

  • Fully responsive, mobile-first design — sticky header, expandable search, and dark/light mode with system-preference detection.
  • Auto-rotating hero carousel, "Explore by Category" icon grid, and a live trending-topics strip.
  • Article pages with a reading-progress bar, one-click social sharing, related articles, and threaded comments.
  • Dedicated category, tag, search, and author archive pages — all with clean, SEO-friendly URLs.
ADMIN PANEL

A Complete Newsroom Dashboard

  • Four staff roles (Super Admin, Editor, Reporter, Moderator) with a full draft → review → publish workflow, plus scheduled publishing.
  • A WordPress-style Media Library — search, bulk-select, and drag-drop upload — used everywhere an image is needed.
  • Rich-text editor, categories with custom SVG icons, tags, static pages, newsletter list, and 5 configurable ad slots.
  • One-click updates with an automatic backup before every update, restorable in a single click if anything goes wrong.
  • Just as responsive as the frontend — manage your site comfortably from a phone, not just a desktop.

SEO-Ready & Security-Conscious

  • Meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD structured data, and an auto-generated XML sitemap.
  • CSRF protection, prepared statements, sanitized content, rate-limited login, and a license-gated installer.

Requirements

PHP 8.0+, MySQL 5.7+, Apache/LiteSpeed with mod_rewrite — works on most shared hosting (Hostinger, Namecheap, GoDaddy). A valid NewsForge license key is required.
