Everything still working fine on my end! Problem solved!

Thanks for your fast responses!

Even though the articles all show “LIVE” in the Apple News tab.. when I got into iCloud, I only see 1 published article.. and 1 article when I open up iPhone News. This is so weird.

I’m running SSL.. strictly SSL (redirecting http to https if someone connects to a non-secure connection). Does that matter?

I see a lot of empty fields under the Custom Fields in the editor after publishing an article.

The following fields are BLANK:

apple_news_is_preview
apple_news_pullquote

But this field has a value:

apple_news_pullquote_position – middle

That’s all the fields I see. BUT the one article that did publish correctly and go LIVE has more fields than that.. populated with apple_news data.

I heard back from Apple News tech support and they said all is fine on their end. They are blaming it on the plugin.

NOTE: I tried disabling all plugins and running a stock/default WordPress theme and still have the problem. I get “There has been an error with the API: WRONG_SIGNATURE” whenever publishing. Server time is EDT, WordPress time is EDT. I was able to get 1 article up LIVE .. all other articles sit idled in iCloud but not LIVE. ALSO – It’s a NEW CHANNEL (Sebastian Daily).

1) Version 4.6.1
2) MH Magazine WordPress Theme by MH Themes
3) Version 1.1.8

Happening on new articles now. I’m beginning to think that it’s not something with the date. I already refreshed the API Key. I don’t know why SOME articles work, but others don’t. It’s gotta be something in the content that is producing the WRONG_SIGNATURE

Here’s the JSON of the FAILED PROCESSING one.
