Missing Like Button and Missing Subtitle
-
So, I have had my 50 articles rejected as no subtitle showing and no like buttons in the heading section.
Has anyone else had this problem and worked out how to fix it? Facebook suggest the following for the like button.
Like Button not showing – To ensure the like button is visible please follow these steps:
1. Go to the Instant articles tab within your Page Settings.
2. In the ‘Styles’ panel. Choose your existing style template or click ‘+ Add Style’ to create a new one.
3. Use the ‘ACCENT COLOR’ option to color it different to the background so that it is clear and visibleHowever, I set it to blue on a white background and still can’t see it. Authors names were showing where like buttons should be.

I had the same problem. Solved by adding this function to my theme’s functions.php:add_filter(‘instant_articles_transformed_element’, ‘my_subtitle’, 10, 1);
//the filter is provided by the fb-instant-articles plugin
//it passes in the instant_article object, which you can modify
//before it finishes rendering the feed.
function my_subtitle($article) {
global $post;
$my_subtitle = get_the_excerpt(); //replace this with whatever//the instant article has a Header element, which has a subtitle property.
//Get it and add a subtitle
$subtitle = $article->getHeader()->withSubTitle($my_subtitle);//return the modified instant article back into the render flow
return $article;//verify that your /feed/instant-articles contains <h2>’s in each feed item <content> elements.
}
