# “Publishing Failed” Error

 * When I try to publish a new post, it fails with this error message:
    `Publishing
   failed. The mf2_syndication property has an invalid stored value, and cannot 
   be updated to null.` If I disable Syndication Links, I can publish the post. 
   I can then reactivate the plug-in after publishing and it works with no problems.
   I can update and save the post and add syndication links. It displays fine.
 * Is this error message enough to indicate the problem?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpublishing-failed-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Block Editor, I’m guessing. Sounds like they changed something to validate the
   registration. Looking into it.

 * This should be addressed.
