Feature 06

Multiple Authors

WordPress allows one author per post. With Viral News Lab you can credit several writers on the same article, assign a set author, or rotate between approved authors. Every byline stays correct.

Section 02 — Workflow

One run, six stages.

A dedicated editorial team runs every stage: research, preparation, metadata and quality review.

6 production stages
Stage
What happens in the run
Dashboard state
01

Campaign planning

Topics, search queries, exclusions, presets, editorial rules, and cadence — configured once per publication as a reusable content program.

Active
02

Source-backed research

Material is discovered through web research, news searches, uploads, saved sources, and pasted links. Sources are extracted and reviewed before content preparation.

Sourcing
03

Preparation

Publication-specific tone, structure, length, formatting, and headline rules are applied, with relevant internal links and credible external references.

Preparation
04

Media and metadata

Featured and inline images, attribution, captions, alt text, filenames and placement — plus SEO metadata, schema-oriented fields, FAQs and summaries.

Review
05

Quality review

Media, links, metadata, article type, summaries, FAQs and publishing readiness are validated. Problems are classified as editorial intervention, one-click correction, or authorized override.

Ready
06

WordPress delivery

Draft, publish immediately, schedule, or update an existing live post without creating a duplicate — with live links, admin links, approval emails, activity logs, and audit reporting.

Published
Section 03 — Quality standards

Nothing goes live until it passes.

Every article is checked against the same list before it reaches your site. If a check fails, the article stops and goes back to an editor.

After publishing, we read the live post back. If it doesn’t match what was approved, we take it down.

12 checks on every article
Check 01

SEO checklist, 80+ target

Keyword, title, meta description, slug, length and readability.

Check 02

Based on real sources

Original reporting only. Search and listing pages are rejected.

Check 03

Sources cited with links

Outbound links to the reporting the story is built on.

Check 04

Internal links

Links to three of your own related articles.

Check 05

No broken links

Every link is tested. Dead links and tracking tags are removed.

Check 06

Relevant images

Checked against the story, with alt text, and never reused across your site.

Check 07

Headline matches the story

No filler, no off-topic sections, one clear story.

Check 08

No repeated passages

Near-duplicate paragraphs are caught and removed.

Check 09

Fits your publication

On-topic for your coverage area and audience.

Check 10

Recap, FAQs and excerpt

Confirmed in WordPress before the article goes live.

Check 11

Right category and author

A real category every time, never “Uncategorized”.

Check 12

No duplicates

No duplicate posts, and repeated story angles are flagged.

Section 04 — The technology

Built on our own WordPress core.

Viral News Lab does not publish into a stack of third-party plugins. It delivers through HWS Base Tools — the WordPress plugin our own team writes, versions, and ships from a repository we run. It is the layer that classifies the site, registers the structures an article needs, and keeps every publication we operate on the same footing.

Repo — HWS

One repository, one plugin, one job. HWS Base Tools 13.2.7 bundles the Hexa WordPress Plugin Core and owns the site’s classification, its shared post types, its brand assets, and the operational tooling every article depends on once it lands.

Site classification & primary entity

News outlet, podcast, personal, company, or e-commerce — set once, read everywhere.

Shared post types & ACF structures

team-member, testimonial and services, registered through one core.

Quick Start master checklist

Safe batch execution, rollback snapshots, before and after reporting.

LiteSpeed performance profiles

Compatibility, Safe Baseline, Editorial, and Aggressive Test-First.

Brand templates & Elementor imports

Native containers, dynamic tags, and Rank Math breadcrumbs.

Maintenance mode & system checks

Public 503 handling, administrator bypass, REST and XML-RPC protection.

Install
01

Download the current release from the repository.

02

In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and upload the zip.

03

Activate it, then set the website type and primary entity in the HWS dashboard.

PHP 8.1 and WordPress 6.0 or newer are required, on Hexa Cloud hosting. After activation the plugin’s own update checker polls the repository, so new releases are offered in the WordPress plugins screen like any other plugin.
