Publishing fresh content is one of the best ways to boost your website’s visibility. But if you run a news site, magazine, or blog that publishes time-sensitive content, simply having a regular XML sitemap isn’t enough. Search engines like Google use a special Google News Sitemap to discover and index the most recent news articles faster.
With the latest update, the Sitemap plugin by BestWebSoft now supports full compatibility with Google News Sitemap. This makes it easy to ensure your news content gets indexed quickly and appears in Google News results.

Managing a multilingual WordPress website requires collaboration. In many cases, different people work on translations — administrators, editors, authors, or even SEO specialists. But not every user should have the same level of access.
That’s why the Multilanguage plugin by BestWebSoft introduces a new feature: Enable translation for any user role. This option allows you to decide exactly who can add or edit translations on your website.
This way, you keep your workflow organized and your website safe, while still giving the right people the tools they need.

If you run a WordPress website, you probably rely on a contact form to communicate with visitors. Unfortunately, forms are a favorite target for spam bots that flood your inbox with fake submissions, unwanted links, and malicious content.
Traditionally, many site owners use Captcha plugins to block spam. While Captcha is effective, some users find it distracting or inconvenient. That’s why the Contact Form plugin by BestWebSoft now includes a new feature: the Honeypot field.
This is a simple yet powerful method of spam protection that doesn’t require any interaction from real visitors.

Formidable Forms is one of the most powerful and flexible WordPress form builder plugins. From basic contact forms to advanced surveys and applications, it gives site owners a reliable way to collect data from users.
But there’s one common issue: spam submissions. Bots can automatically fill in your forms, flood your inbox with junk, or even try to exploit vulnerabilities. That’s why adding a captcha field is a must for any serious WordPress website.
The Captcha by BestWebSoft plugin now includes full support for Formidable Forms. This means you can add a captcha to your forms in just a few clicks — no coding, no hassle.

Password protected posts and pages in WordPress are a quick way to hide content from the public. However, using only a password isn’t always enough. Bots and brute force scripts can still try to access these pages.
By adding Captcha protection to password protected pages, you add another layer of security. It ensures that only real users, not bots, can access the content even if they know the password.

When you generate PDFs from your WordPress posts or pages, embedded videos often don’t work properly in offline documents. Instead of leaving a blank space or removing the video entirely, the PDF & Print plugin by BestWebSoft now offers a smart solution: replace embedded videos with QR codes.
