    I was trying to upload a post to Apple News using the plugin, but it doesn’t seem that the video is showing up on the post. It says it was successfully uploaded to apple news, but when pulling up the article, it does not show the video. I was wondering if there was a certain way I needed to upload a video compared to a text article. Thank you for your help.

    It’s likely that the embed type you’re using isn’t supported by Apple News. Can you please provide a link to the post in question?

    Which video(s) on the page are you expecting to see in Apple News that are not showing up?

    Hi @jpolsky,

    Could you do the following two things please:

    1. Copy the contents of the Text tab in the WordPress editor for the post, put it in a Pastebin, and provide the link to the Pastebin here.
    2. Export the JSON for the post from the main Apple News post list screen, paste the JSON into a Pastebin, and include the link to the Pastebin here.

    Having this information will make it easier to diagnose your issue. Thanks!

    Got it, thanks for providing the additional info. The plugin handles Youtube videos within the post content, but since your Youtube video is in custom post meta, it is not automatically handled by the plugin. One option would be to prepend the Youtube URL to the post content using the filter apple_news_exporter_content_pre. You can find documentation on the filter here. Hope this helps, and good luck!
