articles not populating to iCloud News Publisher

    Hello,

    Since switching iCloud News Publisher from ‘RSS feed’ to ‘Connect CMS’ (not realising this was irreversible or would cause issues), articles have refused to populate from our WordPress/Publish to Apple News set-up across to our iCloud News Publisher, which previously was working with the RSS feed.

    The channel name, ID, api and secret are all in the plugin .papi. The settings are all set as they should be in Publish to Apple News and in iCloud News Publisher. But the list of articles in the plugin, which updates when new ones appear, does not send article statuses beyond Pending, mostly staying at Not Published. AS they don’t publish, in News Publisher’s drafts window there are no articles to select.

    Alternate errors connected to this appear in WordPress; one says ‘unable to find list of sections’, and alternates with ‘There has been an error with the Apple News API: API_KEY_NOT_FOUND’. And yet it is there in the .papi.

    Both suggest reaching out for support here, so here I am. Might anyone be able to help? Wits’ end reached.

    If you are seeing the “unable to find list of sections” error, that means that the API credentials were not properly uploaded to the plugin, or your API credentials are incorrect. If your .papi file is formatted correctly, which can be verified by using the Apple News API CLI, then it should work properly when uploaded to the Apple News > Settings screen in WordPress and hitting the Save Changes button.
