What you might want to consider is an alternative to plugins which I find works very well with a news application. You could change your news content field to a PlaceholderField which will allow you to add plugin's to a news item and also configure the placeholder config with all the usual options available to standard template placeholders. In my news app I have a fairly typical setup, a ListView and then a DetailView where you can switch the CMS to edit mode & edit the plugins in your news item's PlaceholderField .

Below is my django cms apphook, its showing the app on the drop down but it doesn't hook the application to a page. The project is in django 2.1.11, python3.7.1, and django cms 3.6.0 I have tried to change the apphook file to cms_apps.py and cms_app.py . I have also tried this tutorial [this video] .
