About DeeAuto CMS : Automobile news CMS, No WordPress needed.
DeeAuto CMS is a complete news website system for car, bike and EV publishers. It runs on its own with PHP and MySQL, so you don’t need WordPress, a theme or any plugins.
Every story, vehicle and comparison has its own page: news articles, reviews with scores, vehicle pages with prices, variants, specifications and EMI, and side-by-side comparisons at clean /compare/a-vs-b/ URLs. The SEO that publishers normally add with plugins is built in: WordPress-style permalinks, sitemaps, a Google News sitemap, NewsArticle, Car and Review schema, and a Google Discover checklist inside the editor.
Moving from WordPress is simple. Import your WordPress export file and your post IDs, slugs, dates, categories, tags, authors, comments and Yoast or Rank Math SEO fields come across. With the same permalink structure, your old URLs keep working.
The admin panel follows the WordPress layout your team already knows, and it works fully on a phone. Everything is in English by default. You can switch the website to Hindi, Urdu or 9 other languages, and translate or rename every label, from the admin panel.
Includes English and Hindi demo content (fictional brands) so your site looks complete from day one.

Questions about DeeAuto CMS : Automobile news CMS, No WordPress needed.
Do I need WordPress to use DeeAuto CMS?
No. DeeAuto CMS is a complete standalone system. You only need hosting with PHP 7.4 or newer and a MySQL or MariaDB database.
Can I move my existing WordPress news site?
Yes. Export your content from WordPress (Tools → Export) and import the file in DeeAuto CMS. Post IDs, slugs, dates, categories, tags, authors, comments and Yoast or Rank Math SEO fields are kept. Copy your uploads folder and choose the same permalink structure, and your old URLs keep working. Menus and widgets need to be set up again.
Which hosting does it need?
PHP 7.4+ with PDO MySQL, GD, mbstring, cURL, sodium and ZipArchive, plus MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+. It works on Apache and LiteSpeed (.htaccess included) and on Nginx (rules are in the README). Most cPanel shared hosting plans have all of this.
Is the admin panel in English?
Yes. The admin panel, the code and the default content are all in English. Your website can be in English or any of 11 supported languages. You choose the language in Settings → Language.
Can my website be in Hindi or another Indian language?
Yes. English and Hindi come fully translated. For Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam or Urdu, you translate the site’s labels on one screen in the admin panel. Urdu sites display right-to-left.
Does it help with Google News and Google Discover?
DeeAuto CMS includes what these need on the technical side: a Google News sitemap, NewsArticle schema, large-image settings, author pages and an editor checklist for Discover. Being shown in Google News or Discover is decided by Google and depends on your content.
Can I work from my phone?
Yes. The admin panel is fully responsive, so you can write, edit, upload images, schedule and publish from a mobile browser.
How many websites can I use it on?
One licence works on one website. To move to a new domain, disconnect the old site from your account or the admin panel, then activate on the new one.
How do updates work?
When a new version is released, an “Update available” notice appears in your admin panel with the list of changes. Click “Update now”. Your config file, uploads and content are never touched, and a backup is made first.
What if my licence or support expires?
Your website keeps working. Updates and premium tools (vehicle editor, brands, vehicle types, WordPress import) need an active licence. You can renew support from your account.
Is the demo content real?
No. All brands, models, prices and photos in the demo are fictional. Delete them before you go live.
