1. Requirements Before Installation

Before installing WP NewsCard Pro, make sure your website is running:

WordPress
A working WordPress news website
Administrator access
A valid WP NewsCard Pro license

Some features also require their respective third-party platform accounts and API credentials.

For example, social media publishing requires the appropriate account, permissions, and API connection.

2. How to Install WP NewsCard Pro

Installing WP NewsCard Pro is similar to installing any other WordPress plugin.

Step 1: Login to WordPress

Go to your WordPress administrator dashboard.

Step 2: Open Plugins

Navigate to:

Dashboard → Plugins → Add New Plugin

Step 3: Upload the Plugin

Click Upload Plugin and select your WP NewsCard Pro ZIP file.

Step 4: Install

Click Install Now and wait until WordPress completes the installation.

Step 5: Activate

After installation, click Activate Plugin.

WP NewsCard Pro will now be available in your WordPress dashboard.

3. Activate Your WP NewsCard Pro License

After activating the plugin, enter your valid license information in the license section.

The normal license workflow is:

Purchase Plan → Registration & Payment → Admin Approval → Receive License → Install Plugin → Activate License

Enter the license exactly as provided.

Once the license is successfully activated, the features available under your active plan can be used according to the license terms.

Important

Do not share your license key publicly.

If your license is not activating, first make sure:

The license is correct.
Your website has an active internet connection.
The license has been approved.
Your domain is eligible for the selected plan.

4. First-Time Setup

After activation, do not try to configure everything at once.

We recommend completing the setup in this order:

Step 1

Configure your NewsCard settings.

Step 2

Select your preferred NewsCard template.

Step 3

Configure social media connections if you want automatic publishing.

Step 4

Configure video settings if you want to create news videos.

Step 5

Connect the platforms you want to use for Video Sharing.

This approach keeps the setup simple and makes troubleshooting much easier.

5. Creating Professional News Cards

The NewsCard feature converts your WordPress news into a visual news image suitable for social media publishing.

A typical workflow looks like this:

WordPress News → Featured Image + News Text → NewsCard → Social Media

WP NewsCard Pro supports multiple card templates so you can choose a design that matches your news website.

Choosing a NewsCard Template

Open the NewsCard template section and select the design you want to use.

Different templates can provide different visual styles for your news content.

When selecting a template, consider:

Your website branding
News category
Image style
Text readability
Social media appearance

For a professional news website, choose a clean design where the main image remains clearly visible and the headline is easy to read.

6. NewsCard Global Settings

Depending on the selected template, you can configure the main visual settings.

Common settings include:

Canvas Size

Controls the size and format of the generated news card.

Choose the appropriate format according to where you plan to use the card.

Background

Controls the background appearance of the card.

Fonts

Select the font used for news text and other supported text elements.

For Bengali news websites, use a Bengali-compatible font for the best result.

Primary Color

Controls the main branding or design color.

Secondary Color

Controls supporting design elements.

7. Bengali News Card Support

WP NewsCard Pro is designed to handle Bengali news content properly.

You can use Bengali headlines and text without converting them into images or manually changing the characters.

The Bengali rendering system is designed to preserve proper Unicode text shaping and improve readability in generated news cards.

For the best result:

Use properly written Bengali Unicode text.
Avoid unnecessary manual character conversions.
Use a supported Bengali font.
Keep headlines concise when possible.

8. How NewsCard Generation Works

When you create or publish a WordPress news article, the plugin can use the available post information to create the visual card.

The general workflow is:

News Post

↓

Headline / Content Information

↓

Featured Image

↓

Selected NewsCard Template

↓

Generated NewsCard

The generated card can then be used as part of your social media publishing workflow.

9. Facebook Auto Posting

WP NewsCard Pro can connect with Facebook through the supported API configuration.

Once the Facebook connection is properly configured, your news publishing workflow can include:

NewsCard image
Caption
Tags
News article link

The goal is to reduce repetitive manual work when publishing new articles.

How to Connect Facebook

Open the Facebook/social connection section inside WP NewsCard Pro.

Follow the available connection instructions and provide the required Facebook/Meta credentials or authorization.

After completing the connection:

Save the settings.
Run the available connection test.
Confirm that the connection is successful.
Enable Facebook publishing if required.

Important

Facebook API permissions and platform policies can change over time.

If Facebook reports a permission, token, or API error, check the account permissions and connection status before changing plugin settings.

10. Instagram Publishing

Instagram publishing requires the appropriate supported Meta/Instagram configuration.

After connecting your Instagram account:

Save the connection settings.
Verify the connection.
Make sure the required account permissions are available.
Enable Instagram publishing when you are ready.

The exact publishing capabilities depend on the connected Instagram account and the permissions available through the platform.

11. Facebook Group Sharing

Facebook Pages and Facebook Groups are not the same publishing destination.

If you want to share your news content with selected Facebook Groups, the required permissions and platform access must be available.

The intended workflow is:

Facebook Connection

↓

Available / Approved Groups

↓

Select Groups

↓

Save Settings

↓

New News

↓

NewsCard + Caption + News Link

↓

Selected Groups

Only groups that are available to the connected account and supported by the current Facebook API permissions can be used.

12. Video Generation

WP NewsCard Pro can also create vertical news videos from your WordPress news.

The video workflow combines the news visual, narration, optional background music, and video processing into a final MP4 file.

The general process is:

News

↓

News Content

↓

News Visual

↓

Text-to-Speech

↓

Background Music

↓

Video Processing

↓

9:16 Master MP4

This makes the generated video suitable for modern short-form video platforms.

13. Gemini AI Voice / Text-to-Speech

WP NewsCard Pro supports Gemini as a TTS provider for generating narration.

To use Gemini TTS, you need a valid Gemini API key.

After adding the API key, you can configure the available Gemini voice settings from the plugin.

The plugin supports multiple Gemini voices, with a default voice available for easier setup.

How to Configure Gemini TTS

Step 1

Open the video/TTS settings.

Step 2

Select Gemini as the TTS provider.

Step 3

Enter your Gemini API key.

Step 4

Select your preferred voice.

Step 5

Save the settings.

Step 6

Generate a test video or audio when available.

If the test works correctly, Gemini is ready for your video generation workflow.

14. Gemini Character and Token Estimation

The video studio can provide an estimated usage summary based on the text being processed.

This can help you understand the approximate:

Input usage
Audio usage
Total estimated usage

The estimation is useful for planning your Gemini usage before generating a video.

The tracked usage section can also show information such as:

Used
Available
Reset Usage

Remember that a locally tracked usage figure is intended for plugin-side usage tracking and budgeting. It should not automatically be treated as your actual Google account billing balance.

15. Background Music

WP NewsCard Pro can combine narration with background music during video creation when the relevant option is configured.

For professional news videos, keep background music lower than the narration so that the Bengali voice remains clear.

The primary purpose of background music is to improve the overall presentation without reducing voice clarity.

16. Master Video System

One of the most important concepts in WP NewsCard Pro’s video workflow is the Master Video.

The plugin is designed around the idea of generating one final master MP4 from a news item and then using that same video for supported publishing destinations.

The workflow is:

One News

↓

One Master Video

↓

Multiple Connected Platforms

This means you do not need to generate a completely separate video for every platform just because you want to publish the same news in multiple places.

This approach can save unnecessary video processing and repeated TTS generation.

17. Video Sharing

The Video Sharing section is designed to bring supported video publishing destinations into one place.

Depending on the available integrations, the Video Sharing area can include:

YouTube
Facebook
Instagram
TikTok
X (Twitter)
LinkedIn

Each platform can show its current connection status.

Connected

The platform connection is ready for the supported publishing workflow.

Not Connected

The platform still requires connection or configuration before publishing.

18. How to Publish a Video

The recommended workflow is simple.

Step 1

Create or select your WordPress news.

Step 2

Generate the Master Video.

Step 3

Wait until video generation is completed successfully.

Step 4

Open Video Sharing.

Step 5

Check the platform connection status.

Step 6

Choose a connected platform.

Step 7

Click Publish Now when available.

The same Master Video can then be used for the supported connected publishing destinations.

19. YouTube Publishing

For YouTube publishing, first make sure your YouTube account/API connection is correctly configured.

After successful connection:

Generate the Master Video.
Open Video Sharing.
Confirm YouTube shows as connected.
Review the available video information.
Click Publish Now.

If YouTube is not connected, complete the YouTube authorization/setup before attempting to publish.

20. Connecting Multiple Platforms

You do not have to connect every platform.

Connect only the platforms you actually use.

For example, you may configure:

YouTube + Facebook + Instagram

and leave the other platforms disconnected.

Later, you can connect additional supported platforms without changing the basic video-generation workflow.

21. Recommended Setup for a News Website

For a typical online news portal, we recommend starting with a simple configuration.

NewsCard

Choose one professional template and configure:

Canvas
Background
Bengali font
Primary color
Secondary color

Social Publishing

Connect the platforms where your website actively publishes news.

Video

Configure:

TTS provider
Preferred voice
Background music
Video settings

Video Sharing

Connect only the platforms you want to publish videos to.

Once everything is tested successfully, you can enable your regular publishing workflow.

22. A Simple Daily Workflow

After the initial setup, your daily workflow can be very simple.

For a normal news post:

Publish News → Generate NewsCard → Prepare Caption → Publish to Connected Social Platforms

For a news video:

Publish News → Generate Master Video → Open Video Sharing → Select Connected Platform → Publish

You do not need to repeat the entire setup every time you publish a new article.

23. Troubleshooting

NewsCard is not generating

Check:

Plugin activation
License status
Selected template
Featured image
WordPress permissions
Server requirements

Bengali text looks incorrect

Check:

Bengali Unicode text
Selected Bengali-compatible font
Font configuration
Server-side rendering requirements

Avoid manually converting Bengali text into legacy encodings.

Facebook connection failed

Check:

Facebook/Meta account authorization
Access permissions
Page permissions
Access token
API connection status

If the platform reports a timeout or API error, test the connection again after confirming the account and server connection.

Gemini TTS is not working

Check:

Gemini is selected as the TTS provider.
API key is correct.
The API key has the required access.
A supported voice is selected.
Your server can make outbound API requests.
The text is valid.

Video generation failed

Check:

TTS configuration
API connection
Background music configuration
Server resources
FFmpeg availability
Generated audio
Generated image/video assets

Platform shows “Not Connected”

A platform showing Not Connected does not necessarily mean that the plugin is broken.

It usually means that the required platform authorization or API configuration has not yet been completed.

Open that platform’s connection settings and complete the required setup.

24. Best Practices

For the best results with WP NewsCard Pro:

Use clear headlines

Short and readable headlines generally work better for visual news cards.

Use high-quality featured images

A clear featured image improves the appearance of your NewsCard and video.

Keep Bengali text readable

Avoid placing too much text into a single visual.

Test before enabling automation

Always perform a test publication before relying on automatic publishing for your regular news workflow.

Connect only the platforms you need

There is no need to configure every platform if you do not use it.

Keep your API credentials private

Never publish API keys, access tokens, or other private credentials on your website or in screenshots.
