[XenCustomize] News Publisher: Home Page, Portal & CMS

XenCustomize News Publisher for XenForo!

Introducing the XenCustomize News Publisher for XenForo! This powerful, feature-rich addon creates a dynamic news section within your XenForo forum. At the heart of this addon is the innovative Categorized News Index, offering a clean, organized, and user-friendly way to display your news stories. Unlike typical mixed-content displays with pagination, the categorized index presents news in easily accessible sections, enhancing the user experience and engagement.

There are 60+ additional screenshots that cannot all be attached in this resource. If you're interested in viewing them, please follow the links provided in the features list below.
