Method 3: Using a Theme
- Choose a theme that has built-in notification functionality, such as "News Magazine" or "News Portal".
- Configure the theme settings to display news updates, promotions, or other important information.
Method 4: Using a Custom Solution
- Create a custom PHP script to display news notifications on your site.
- Add the script to your site's functions.php file or a custom plugin.

Example Code
Here's an example code snippet that you can use to display news notifications on your site:
<?php
// Define the news notification message
$message = 'New article published: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">Read more</a>';
// Define the notification type (e.g. success, error, warning)
$type = 'success';
// Display the notification
echo '<div class="notification '. $type. '">'. $message. '</div>';
?>
This code snippet defines a news notification message and displays it on the site using a custom CSS class. You can customize the message and notification type to suit your needs.
