# Multiple Google Search Console AMP Errors

 *  Resolved [alysa841](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alysa841/)
 * (@alysa841)
 * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-google-search-console-amp-errors/)
 * All of my Google Web Stories have started experiencing errors. It seems that 
   all 15 stories I have created now have the following errors:
    – The parent tag
   of tag ‘html’ must be ‘!doctype’. – A tag on this page requires an AMP component‘
   script’ tag, which is missing. – A mandatory AMP HTML tag is missing from this
   document.
 * And some also have the error:
    – Missing URL for attribute ‘data-tooltip-icon’
   in tag ‘$reference_point’. – Tag ‘AMP-STORY-GRID-LAYER animate-in’ has a disallowed
   child tag. – The tag ‘link rel=canonical’ appears more than once in the document.
 * I was seeing a massive surge in traffic from one particular story until I started
   experiencing these errors. I noticed an email from Yandex Webmaster around the
   same time which said that it had removed some of the stories from the search 
   results due to low revenue or pageviews. I quickly deleted my site from Yandex
   and removed the account. I tried to resubmit the URLs to Search Console but keep
   getting the error that the web stories are invalid and aren’t being shown in 
   the search results.
 * I had read about a recent compatibility issue with Yoast and web stories ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/web-stories-no-activity-with-yoast-plugin-fix/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/web-stories-no-activity-with-yoast-plugin-fix/)),
   which I do use, but it sounds like it should be resolved. I came across another
   post ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-web-stories/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-web-stories/))
   that recommended resubmitting a sitemap to Google but I wanted to see if this
   might help my situation?
 * Any help is appreciated!

 * [@alysa841](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alysa841/) Hi there! Thank you
   for reporting. Hopefully, we can determine the cause of these validation errors.
 * Could you please share your [Site Health](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png) information?
   You can share [privately](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-AeFLOIJd4NLYz7EDUa9vMfzZIoT5Bn1leV3dL2CM_B1C6Q/viewform)
   if you prefer. This way we can check for any plugins that may be conflicting 
   with Web Stories plugin.
 * While we investigate your Site Health info, could you attempt to troubleshoot
   your site by temporarily disabling all other plugins for a few minutes and switch
   to a different theme to see if that makes a difference?
 * Then, test your affected story at [https://search.google.com/test/amp](https://search.google.com/test/amp)
   to see if there are still the same errors.
 * Next, start by re-enable your theme and test your story again. You can re-enable
   your plugins one by one and retest your story to see which, if any, are conflicting
   with the Web Stories plugin and causing these errors.
 * Please let me know if you need any additional support on this.

 * Hi [@luckynasan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luckynasan/) Thank you so
   much for your quick response! Sending the info privately now.
 * I’ll attempt troubleshooting in the meantime. Thank you!

 * [@alysa841](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alysa841/) thanks! So I am currently
   only seeing the following errors on the story URL you referenced:
 * > – The parent tag of tag ‘html’ must be ‘!doctype’.
   >  – A tag on this page requires
   > an AMP component ‘script’ tag, which is missing. – A mandatory AMP HTML tag
   > is missing from this document.
 * Web Stories are AMP documents and must adhere to the required specifications 
   in order to be validated. The Ezoic plugin appears to be injecting/removing required
   scripts such as the AMP required <!DOCTYPE html> code from your stories. You 
   can try disabling WordPress integration in the Advanced Settings of the Ezoic
   plugin to get rid of these errors and I recommend to reach out to their support
   for additional assistance.
 * > – Missing URL for attribute ‘data-tooltip-icon’ in tag ‘$reference_point’.
 * Could check if the story affected by this error has a description text and an
   icon? Those can be added in the design panel on the right under the “Link” section.
 * Could you share what Stories are affected by the other errors?
 * Who is your hosting provider and are you using any CDN service like Cloudflare?

 * Hi [@luckynasan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luckynasan/)
 * I just removed the Ezoic plugin and went through to validate all of the errors
   and it seems that Search Console is in the process of validating so I think the
   error has been solved!
 * Another web story that had been receiving other errors is this one: [https://voyagingherbivore.com/web-stories/vegan-edinburgh/](https://voyagingherbivore.com/web-stories/vegan-edinburgh/)
   but I think it may be fixed now or will be in a few days with the pages have 
   been validated.
 * I’ll reach out to Ezoic to let them know about the issue.
 * Thank you so so much for your help!

 * One more question as I’m seeing now that I have some breadcrumb issues with web
   stories in SC.
 * 11 of my Web Stories are experiencing these errors:
    – Either “name” or “item.
   name” should be specified – Missing field “item”
 * One web story with this issue is: [https://voyagingherbivore.com/web-stories/uk-summer-train-journeys/](https://voyagingherbivore.com/web-stories/uk-summer-train-journeys/)
 * Are you able to provide a fix for these?
 * Thank you!

 * [@alysa841](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alysa841/) Great to hear the 
   issues are resolved!
 * Regarding the breadcrumbs, it appears that you are using Yoast SEO, which is 
   solely responsible for printing breadcrumbs on your pages, including Web Stories.
   Unfortunately, you’ll also have to reach out to their support team for assistance
   in this regard.
 * Let us know if you need additional support from us based upon their reply.

 * I am getting the exact same error messages on all 36 of my stories (previously
   no errors), and I too have Ezoic. Did suppressing the plugin work? Is there another
   solution to be able to keep the ad network?

 * [@swirlzandcurlz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swirlzandcurlz/) I removed
   Ezoic and all of them are in the process of passing! I also contacted Ezoic and
   they’re looking into it so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

   errors, but for further assistance and support I recommend to contact the [Ezoic support](https://community.ezoic.com/).

 * [@swirlzandcurlz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swirlzandcurlz/) I wasn’t
   fully set up with Ezoic yet so I’m still using Google Ads as I as before. I’ll
   wait until they fix the problem before setting up with them fully.
