 * Apple news plugin is not working. In _add new posts_ plugin not showing sections
   and not published articles to apple news/apple news draft. In the menu, I try
   to publish an article but it says “There has been an error with the API: There
   has been an error with your request: cURL error 7: If you need assistance, please
   reach out for support on WordPress.org or GitHub.” & When I click in sections
   located in the menu it says “Unable to fetch a list of sections.”

 * Have you [configured your API settings](https://github.com/alleyinteractive/apple-news/wiki/Configuration)?

 * cURL error 7 is “failed to connect to host” – so it looks like your web server
   isn’t able to make an outgoing connection to the Apple News API. Can you contact
   your web host and ask them if they are blocking outgoing connections from the
   server?
