Author/Byline not showing

This is still happening. We are using the Starbox plugin to show author information on the page, but the author is a standard WordPress user and associated with each post.

Hi pr0fessor,

Can you paste the debug information shown in the edit screen of the post on the Instant Articles box? Specially the “transformed markup”.

Also, please make sure you have the latest version (2.7) of this plugin.

Thanks Diego

We are obviously still working on the transformation rules, but this is an example article. All our articles have the same issue – no byline

The server responded with the following messages:

The HTML element does not contain any text: Avoid including empty HTML elements

Hey, here’s your author + byline:

<address><a href="https://herb.co/">HERB</a>Crafting the Future of Cannabis</address>

Isn’t it correct?

Also, try to enclose your embed + sdk init on a <div class="embed>:

<div class="embed>
<div id="fb-root"></div>

Oh great, that’s showing up now! It must have been cached, thanks for looking into this ??
Is the div embed class a form of passthrough?

pr0fess0r no problem! =) That was a actual issue fixed in 2.7.

We have a built-in Rule to include anything inside <div class="embed"> in a Social Embed on the Instant Article. If you do this you should get the FB embed to work.

Awesome, thank you!
