Client Profile: AHN FeedSyndicate’s Syndicated News Solutions

While AHN FeedSyndicate’s back-end system already stored vast troves of NewsML-G2 documents, there was no straightforward, standards-compliant way for non-technical users to bring that content into WordPress. Editors faced cumbersome manual processes—downloading XML, mapping metadata fields, and troubleshooting import errors—which often sapped valuable time and introduced inconsistencies. The client needed a turnkey solution that would transparently bridge their custom feed platform with WordPress, honoring every element of the IPTC NewsML-G2 specification while presenting an intuitive experience for their editorial teams.

What We Did

We began by diving deep into the IPTC NewsML-G2 schema, identifying every essential element—headlines, bylines, datelines, multimedia attachments, taxonomy terms—and mapping them into WordPress’s custom fields and post types. Our development team architected a secure connector to AHN’s API, enabling WordPress to fetch and queue XML feeds on demand. Within the WordPress admin, we crafted a streamlined import dashboard where editors could preview available feeds, select date ranges, and initiate batch imports with real-time progress indicators and clear error messages. Rigorous unit, integration, and user acceptance testing ensured that every imported post retained full NewsML-G2 compliance and met AHN’s high reliability standards.

The Results

AHN FeedSyndicate clients enjoyed a seamless, one-click process for importing NewsML-G2 stories directly into WordPress, freeing them from manual XML handling and significantly reducing technical overhead. Import times have dropped, editorial workflow has became more efficient, and every post carries complete metadata for downstream syndication. In the first three months post-deployment, AHN FeedSyndicate reported zero support tickets related to feed imports—a testament to the solution’s stability, usability, and alignment with their rigorous standards.
