== Description ==

This plugin creates a dedicated RSS feed from your WordPress
posts so they can be imported into Plucky Wire automatically.

Plucky Wire is a simple website that helps newsrooms share stories with each other. 
It is one of several built by Plucky Works, a small software company
that works directly with editors to build practical tools for local news.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `plucky-works` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
3. Go to **Plucky Works** in the admin sidebar to configure your feed
4. Copy the feed URL shown on the settings page and add it as an RSS source in
   your Plucky Works network

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where can I find my feed URL? =

After activating the plugin, go to **Plucky Works** in the WordPress admin sidebar.
Your feed URL is displayed at the top of the settings page. You can click the
**Copy** button to copy it to your clipboard. 

(Note: The Copy button requires HTTPS.)

= Can I choose which posts appear in the feed? =

Yes. Use the **Post Statuses** checkboxes on the settings page to include or
exclude posts by status (published, private, scheduled, draft, or pending review).

= How do I customize which fields are sent? =

The **Field Mapping** section on the settings page lets you use dropdowns to choose
which WordPress field provides data for each RSS element. For example, you can map
"Author Display Name" or "Author First+Last Name" to the byline field, or choose
between manual and auto-generated excerpts for the description.

== Changelog ==

= 1.1 =
* Hard-code the RSS GUID to a stable Post ID URL (e.g. /?p=123) so feed
  consumers can dedupe items when a scheduled post publishes and its
  slug-based permalink takes effect. The GUID is no longer user-configurable
  in the Field Mapping UI.

= 1.0 =
* Initial release
