Error on XML feed validator

Hi RNBJunkie,

The ‘script’ and ‘iframe’ recommendations aren’t errors, just recommendations for the feed to work with the “widest range of feed readers”.

For the purpose of adding the feed to the Publisher Center for Google News though, we don’t have to worry about a wide range or readers, just one. And the Publisher Center ignores the ‘script’ and ‘iframe’ tags – so they aren’t a problem. You can ignore those.

The only ‘recommendations’ you do have to be careful about is when it reports html errors, as those do cause problems with the Publisher Center,

I would like to be positive, but some months ago I’ve recived this from google help desk

Hi Krishna,

I hate to say it, but Google News Publisher support isn’t always correct.

Can you tell me a little more about the issue you are having in the Publisher Center? Is your publication currently ‘live’ and if so, what are you seeing?

Chris

First of all. Image are missing on some post. THey are shower up into News App, not into web search. I am using webp images based on cdn.

Then i have a problem also with the “latest article” tab that is not appearing for my site, but appears for some minor competitors.

Hi Krishna,

I’ve been looking over your feed, site, and the images, and I don’t know why, but it looks like Google just isn’t indexing some of your images. And if they don’t index them, they can’t display them next to your articles.

The GN Publisher feed is working and looks correct, it’s not an issue with the feed.

If you go and look at the images from your site that Google has indexed over the last week, you’ll find some are missing:

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:rnbjunk.com&tbm=isch&hl=en&tbs=qdr:w

for example, it has not indexed adele-festa one nor the never-gonna-not-dance-again one.

Since the problem is not related to the feed nor the plugin, there’s nothing that can be done within the plugin that will help.

I know you’ve posted on the Google News Publisher help forum as well, and I’ll continue to try to help you over there, but honestly, from what I can see and do publically through a forum, I’m not sure why these aren’t indexing,

Chris
