Thank you for your response. I’ve just tested it with the default theme, and it seems to be working perfectly. Should I now reach out to the theme developer to investigate this issue further?” @properlypurple

Hello,

@christopheran This is the reply what we got from Google News Team

–
There are few requirement which need to be followed while adding the image to your content, they are:

The images should be minimum of 800 px on a side

The hero image encoding should be done using the tag and the attribute class should be: . We suggest you use this attribute class to encode the hero image so that one image can be indexed with the articles in Google wide surfaces.

We also noticed that you are using both <description> and <content:encoded> tags in all the feed URLs of the publications. Instead, we suggest that you use any one of the tags. If both <content:encoded> and <description> tags are present in the feed, Google News crawls the tag with the least number of characters.

Thanks for the revert and clarity …

But i would to again like to refer you to this url

https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/74288?hl=en for your reference …

If you look at the example sitemap entry as suggested by Google … below

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <urlset xmlns=”https://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9&#8243; xmlns:news=”https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9″&gt; <url> <loc>https://www.example.org/business/article55.html</loc&gt; <news:news> <news:publication> <news:name>The Example Times</news:name> <news:language>en</news:language> </news:publication> <news:genres>PressRelease, Blog</news:genres> <news:publication_date>2008-12-23</news:publication_date> <news:title>Companies A, B in Merger Talks</news:title> <news:keywords>business, merger, acquisition, A, B</news:keywords> <news:stock_tickers>NASDAQ:A, NASDAQ:B</news:stock_tickers> </news:news> </url> </urlset>

We have this Keywords section …

<news:keywords>business, merger, acquisition, A, B</news:keywords>

which is separate from post keywords …

and the stock section .. missing from SEOPress Plugin …

<news:stock_tickers>NASDAQ:A, NASDAQ:B</news:stock_tickers> </news:news> </url> </urlset>

Can we see these changes in upcoming updates ?

Looks like SEOPress News sitemap is having some issue i just checked your news sitemap https://nigerianewsupdate.com/sitemaps/news.xml/ even i had a similar issue have posted a support request in the forum lets see what the author has to say.

dont think so they r using GET method in the form .. btw

Speak with your webhost check with them for the FTP login details they can fix the issue .

Do you have FTP access ?

If yes try to reupload the theme see if it works

It looks like there is some issue with your current theme its throwing warnings at the header .

Did you made any changes in the default theme ?

I would suggest you to check with the theme developer.

Check your computer date and time and clear your cookies again if it still doesn’t work try on a new browser hope it helps

Ohh what if i need to change to some other font like “Arial” what should be done ?

phew guess its a tough task thanks Mercime ??
