Economicium Widget

Economicium Widget is a free plugin designed for WordPress that enables site owners to add self-updating economic news and market mood widgets to posts, pages, or widget areas. The plugin offers two main widget types: a compact, automatically updating list of the latest economic news summaries, and a market mood indicator that displays the distribution of recent news as bullish, neutral, or bearish. Users can filter the displayed news to a specific category, such as crypto, energy, or markets, or opt to show all categories. The appearance of the widget can be customized by switching between light and dark themes. For the latest stories widget, users can also set the number of stories to display, ranging from one to eight, with five as the default. The plugin is added to WordPress sites using a shortcode, with several attributes available to control the widget's type, category, theme, story limit, custom title, and display mode. Two display modes are supported: script mode, which includes a link back to Economicium, and iframe mode, which is described as the most portable. No user account or API key is required to use the widget. The tool is suitable for WordPress site owners seeking to provide their audience with timely economic news updates and market sentiment insights without complex setup.
