    I used the tool in the past to submit articles, but got a message after facebook checked for them:

    Add Text, Embeds or Media
Instant Articles should offer readers the same experience as the web version. It looks like some of your articles are missing one or more of the following items: text, and/or embeds and/or media elements (images/video) from the web version of the article. Learn about how to add social embeds, missing images, and text.

    I wanted to know if there is a tool for validating the pages that your plugin creates before submitting it for review. I will never get it work because there is always an issue. I just want a tool that validates the page the same as Facebook does, so I know for sure that it’s compatible and will pass through.

    Also, is there an option to submit previous articles, or I need to do it manually, and if so how?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting in touch. If you mean checking how the articles display then you can download the Facebook Pages app and it will allow you to preview your instant articles and compare them to your actual articles. If you mean parsing errors then I’m afraid only the Premium Version allows you to view the errors from within WP as we can only get them if the article is published via the API method. However you can manually check for parsing errors by going to your Facebook Page -> Settings -> Publishing Tools and finding the article and checking the warnings.

    If the plugin is having trouble with our posts or you’re getting a lot of parsing errors please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to help you fix them. It’s most likely a compatibility issues with another plugin and we’re trying to add more and more all the time.

    All the best
