External Content
Have you ever wanted to integrate external content such as a specific post of an external website into your WordPress website? But treat it like any other post? That is, have it appear as teaser or part of a specific (pseudo) archive?
This is exactly when External Content kicks in.
Installation

- Upload contents to the
/wp-content/plugins
directory on your web server. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Find the new External Content menu in your WordPress backend.
Screenshots
Meta box - Enter an external URL to have the post's permalink be replaced with it.
Usage
External Content registers a custom post type that, by default, supports title, content, excerpt and thumbnail. This can be customized, though. Managing your posts in your backend is no different from any other post type. Create a new post, give it a title, write some text, define an individual excerpt, and set a post thumbnail, if you wish. Then assign each post an individual external URL by means of the according meta box. This external URL will be used as the post's permalink.
