Adding News (a post)

If Johnny Depp News come in, we should add the news as soon as possible.

For this, go to Post -> Add New Post.

  1. Add a proper title
  2. Add the info to the content section. Sometimes you’re in a rush, so it’s also totally fine if you embed a Twitter post (for this, you can go to the twitter post and on the three dots on the top right of it click embed).
    The text from others should not be copied 1:1 but alternated at least a little bit. You can also use AI generators to write it different. Find your own style.

    If it’s an interesting article or interview, you can copy it 1:1 and credit the source

  3. On the right side, chose one or more fitting categories.  Articles and Interviews should be only for 1:1 articles and interviews. You can also set the date back to the date of the original article (like if you find it in a magazine from July 1989, just use 30.07.1989).
  4. If possible, please please add a featured image. For this, click Featured image on the right and upload a picture as big as possible.
  5. You can make WordPress share the post automatically to our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram Accounts. For this, make sure the option is checked green on the FS Poster Box.
  6. If you think, everything is perfect, you can publish.

Admin Panel Sections

When you logged in into the WordPress Admin Panel, you can see different sections in the left side navigation where I’ll guide you through what we use them for.

  1. Dashboard / Home
    It’s relatively useless, but you have a little overview here, including the link to the instructions.
  2. Posts
    a very important section if not the most important. We add News posts here and articles (everything that has a date)
  3. Affiliates
    we have some befriended sites that are linked here. It won’t be that important for you
  4. Galleries
    here we add pics, like recent pics, appearances, photosessions, moviepics, screencaps and also fanart, sorted hierarchical.

    The same structure is as folders on the server. You can later read more about that in the galleries instructions
  5. File Manager
    it shows the gallery folder on our server. You can sort in the latest pics, combined with the galleries section, but also video clips (and audio files) into the dlm folder. Please take care that the folder structure stays intact. You will see the same if you have FTP access.
  6. Media
    if you include pictures in a page or post directly, you will find them here. They should not be used for galleries.
  7. Pages
    One more very important section. Our info pages are here. For better overview about the structure use the Tree View Option.

Johnny Depp vs. The Sun: UK Libel Trial

Trials by Martina

The UK libel trial, Depp v News Group Newspapers Ltd, ran from July 7 to July 28, 2020, at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, with the verdict on November 2, 2020. Johnny Depp sued The Sun and its editor Dan Wootton for calling him a “wife beater” in a 2018 article, claiming it defamed him by falsely alleging he abused Amber Heard. NGN relied on a “truth” defense, arguing the article was substantially true based on Heard’s allegations. For Depp fans, the trial was a chance for Johnny to clear his name after years of damaging claims, but the outcome felt like a miscarriage of justice, with the judge seemingly ignoring evidence of Heard’s own aggression. Below is a day-by-day breakdown of the trial, highlighting testimonies and moments that stood out to supporters who believed in Depp’s innocence.

Background and Context

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met in 2009, married in 2015, and divorced in 2017 after Heard alleged physical abuse in 2016, securing a temporary restraining order. Depp denied the claims, asserting Heard was the abuser. The Sun’s 2018 article amplified Heard’s narrative, prompting Depp’s £1 million libel suit against NGN and Wootton. NGN’s defense hinged on proving 14 alleged incidents of abuse by Depp, detailed by Heard. Fans saw this as a biased setup, with The Sun leveraging Heard’s unproven claims to justify their headline. The trial, presided over by Mr. Justice Nicol without a jury,

Gallery Instructions

Here instructions for the galleries. It works best with a Laptop/PC, but will be difficult from a phone.

  • There are new pics in the web, for example on Twitter. First of all you create a folder on your harddrive. If it’s an appearance, call it the date with the following structure: yyyy-mm-dd – so it’d be for example 2024-12-31. If it’s a photo session, call it the date as much as you know and the photographer name (like 2024-02-photographer). For movies, go with the movie name with hyphens. Magazines are sorted by year or month, depending on how many there are.
  • Download the pics into the folder. Afterwards, check that there are no duplicates (for Mac I have the app “DupeGuruPE”) and rename them if possible (for Mac I have an Automator workflow) to something like date-location and maybe even resize the filesize by removing the exif date (for Mac I have ImageOptim).
  • Now your folder is finished to be uploaded. Go to the WordPress Admin Panel. There, go to the “File Manager” from the left sidebar (with more knowledge you can also connect by ftp). Here, go to the right folder, for example Appearances -2024.
  • Drag your new created folder into the window and wait till the images are all uploaded.
  • Now go to Galleries -Add New
  • Here put in these Details:
    Title: May 09,
