AMP Validation issue

Hi there @telugubulletin! Happy to help here.

First, can you confirm that the story that you’re experiencing issues with is https://www.telugubulletin.com/web-stories/janasena-chief-pawan-kalyan-is-back-in-action?

If so, I ran this URL through the AMP tester and am seeing several other issues, as well: https://search.google.com/test/amp?id=qTa93u62J6rl3JZROxN8Gw. It appears that there may be a plugin blocking the loading of some required AMP scripts.

Can you please share your Site Health information privately via this form?

Thank you!

@shetheliving

Thanks for your reply. Yes, this is the webstory URL https://www.telugubulletin.com/web-stories/janasena-chief-pawan-kalyan-is-back-in-action.

I have provided site Health information in the above form.

Thank You

Thank you for sharing that info, @telugubulletin!

I do see that you’re using a large number of plugins, and one or more of them could be minimizing or blocking JavaScript.

To start, can you please try temporarily disabling the WP Rocket plugin and see if that fixes the issue?

If not, can you please try the following troubleshooting steps?

1. Install and activate the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin
2. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins and click Troubleshoot to enable Troubleshooting Mode. This mode disables active plugins and switches to a default theme safely; this will not affect what your site visitors see, as it only changes the look and feel of your website for logged-in administrators.
3. On the Troubleshooting Mode page, under Web Stories, click Enable while troubleshooting
4. Check to see if the issue you’re experiencing with Web Stories is still occurring while in Troubleshooting Mode with Site Kit enabled
5. If the issue is still occurring, click Disable Troubleshooting Mode to exit Troubleshooting Mode
6. If the issue does not occur while in Troubleshooting Mode, re-enable your site’s plugins one-by-one by clicking Enable while Troubleshooting for each and checking Site Kit. This can help us pinpoint if a particular plugin or theme is causing the issue.

Please let me know what you find either way and we’ll go from there. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.I will try deactivate WP ROcket and give it a try. We did not implement Google Sitekit, do we need to implement so that Tracking works for Google Webstories ?

No, you do not need to install Site Kit for Web Stories to work correctly.

Let me know if deactivating WP Rocket fixes things –?if it does, there are likely some settings that can be tweaked to allow you to reactivate it without affecting Web Stories. ??

I have disabled caching and the following WP-Rocket features for the web story and it passed webstory validation but it created a new problem in the Web Story archive page. I see that the story is getting displayed in the archive page, we did not have this issue when caching was enabled. Please see the below screen recording.

New issue : https://monosnap.com/file/ed4D0qx1zE0bhkcjAHYJhX6Yd8Gzqo

WP Rocket options that were disabled : https://monosnap.com/file/1uhvt9rx88Wo9tgY2ILRF3rhlvA5fW

Thanks

@telugubulletin Glad to hear that updating those WP Rocket options helped! From your screenshot, it looks like these were disabled only on one page – is this just the Web Story at https://www.telugubulletin.com/web-stories/janasena-chief-pawan-kalyan-is-back-in-action?

As for the new issue, Web Stories uses the default archive template from your WordPress theme for its archive page at /web-stories/, so there could be some adjustments that need to be made in your theme code. I’ll do some testing on my end to see if I can replicate this and will get back to you early next week.

Have a great weekend!

@shetheliving

Do you have any update for me on the issue with archive page.

Thank You !!

@telugubulletin Thanks for checking in and for your patience here! I did some testing but was unable to replicate this issue. I’m asking our team to take a look and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have more info.

@telugubulletin The appearance of the archives page is steered by your theme. The console error messages on your Archives page is an indication that there may be a theme-related or page builder issue on this page.

Since you are using a commercial theme, could you please try the following to check if the issue subsides and we can go from there:

– temporarily deactivate your current theme, and switch to a default theme (e.g. Twenty Twenty)
– temporarily deactivate the tagDiv Composer plugin (Newspaper Theme’s front-end page builder)

Thank you.

@telugubulletin Have you had a chance to check on the above?

We switched off caching for Webstories in WP Rocket and this issue went away. We are turning off caching in Metadata (WP ROCKET) options for every webstory.

Thank !!
