web story invalid

Hello @vedappan thanks for getting in touch. I can see when running your Story through AMP validation that there are a number of validation fails. This could be due to a number of reasons but the best place to start here would be to check for any theme/plugin conflicts.

Could you please try following the troubleshooting steps here to see if you can isolate any potential conflicts.

Could you also share your Site Health Information. You can share this privately using this form. With this I can check your setup to see if anything here stands out that could be causing this.

@vedappan Thank you for supplying the information that’s all very useful. I noticed that you are using a couple of optimization and caching plugins such as JetPack and WP Rocket. Can I please ask if you are currently using any of their minify options for JavaScript or CSS?

If you are using these options could you try switching them off and checking your Stories once more? Could I ask what mode you are using with the AMP plugin? And does changing this to anything else make any difference?

@vedappan Thanks for trying this. It looks like the issue here is that something is adding <div class='code-block code-block-1' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'> to the top of every story, causing the AMP invalidation.

That code also appears a few times in the blog posts, where it’s usually wrapping some ads. This looks like it could be related to the Ad Inserter plugin you have active. Could you please try temporarily disabling this plugin and check your Stories once more? If there is no change I would advise also checking that none of the plugin settings is having this affect.

@vedappan Glad to hear this! I will mark this topic as closed. Good luck with your Stories.
