This story had hard `

` tags at each paragraph. * Additionally one URL – not an image – a link – was two sentences and a paragraph was entered, with the second line having the closing `` tag and no closing tag on the first line. * Removing the P tags and making the link one sentence with the closing tag properly located solved the issue. * While working another post that also threw invalid document errors at first ( now corrected and no longer an issue), I discovered the following: - A story should not begin with a subhead such as `H2` or `H3` - Apple News does not like WordPress captioned images. - YouTube oEmbeds should be the new short URL format. * Captioned images and the old style YouTube URLs will throw invalid document errors. * Returning to this post – the same featured image you said threw a 403 is in the corrected live post on Apple News. * Thank you for taking the time to work with me on this and lead me to ultimately resolve it. * Here is the JSON for the story in its correct published state: * _[ Five hundred and eighty eight lines redacted ]_ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/page/2/#post-7567672) * The same four *invalid document* errors come up even with all the images removed…. The story is live on the site with the images (inserted via WordPress), but the JSON below was generated with only a new featured image. * This is the only story I’m having trouble with now. Everything else is working perfectly. * _[ redacted ]_ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/page/2/#post-7567670) * For the latest JSON I sent above I removed the images and the story still errors out. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567627) * The June 24 JSON is repaired and correct. Replacing the hand-codes and loading a new featured image resolved the problem with that file. * If you can run the June 3 JSON above through News Preview – that with a new featured image and no post images and see what errors are thrown, I’d appreciate much. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567626) * Re-setting the featured image and removing all the post images got rid of one error, leaving 14… * ``` [body] => {"errors":[{"code":"INVALID_DOCUMENT","keyPath":["components",1,"components",14],"value":"","message":"Invalid URL: "}]} ``` * Here is the current JSON for the June 3 story. If I remove all the links, and it still fails, the story ID is probably shot and I’ll have to let it go. * _[ redacted ]_ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567624) * Good afternoon Bradford. * Yes I tried remote images on and off. No difference. * What I’ll do when I get back later is copy the first post to a text editor, then remove all the image HTML from the live post and set a new featured image. Then I’ll attempt to publish. If that works, then I’ll re-insert one image via WordPress( not my hand-coded HTML) and update. If that works, I’ll re-insert the remainder via WordPress and update – purging cache and CDN of course each time. * Then I’ll swing to the second post and do the same if that works out on the first one. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567593) * Bradford, * `Error: Unable to process URI [http://us4palin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/ sarah-palin-san-diego-1-ce2.jpg].

All these are publicly readable – all open. Why would they cause a 403? * I don’t know if this affects anything, but in your readme you say, * > ” If you encounter errors, you may need to modify the permissions of both > the “./apple-export/workspace” and the “./apple-export/workspace/tmp” directories. > In most cases, setting permissions for these two directories to “775” will > enable plugins to function properly.” * Those directories don’t exist at all inside the plugin. The closest I have is: * ./publish-to-apple-news/includes/apple-exporter * then two directories – builders and components – hang off it. * The directories are 0755 – content 0644 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567575) * 403 – authorization.

If 1 is the header image, it loads and displays without issue. I also tested every URL in both the web published story and the JSON. All URLs open. * I failed to mention – these two stories were loaded with the version of the plugin just prior to the most recent one. * Moving to the null text JSON which affects components 1, 28, and 30… Also a header image – which loads fine. * What the two header/featured images have in common is that they are portrait type images, not a 16:9 aspect ratio. * Could the image aspect be causing the errors? I really don’t know what else to conclude. The URLs are good; I have no strange / non-standard characters; I got rid of emojis in both articles. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567516) * Using the first JSON… * Component 1 is the header image? 2 is container, 3 is title … And so on? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567511) * So, component 1 is the first component that appears in the JSON and 28 is the 28th one down the stack? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] INVALID DOCUMENT Errors – Invalid URL and Null / Empty Text String](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-document-errors-invalid-url-and-null-empty-text-string/#post-7567379) * Second article is throwing four Invalid Document Errors.

The image URL needs to be same – it does not matter if the both URLs work. The JSON can’t have one and the story the other. * I purged the cache and fixed all but two of my stories on the US for Palin channel. The other two are generating invalid document errors, which I’ll ask about on a fresh ticket. * The issue of stripped images is resolved: purge CDN and cache when they are present on a site. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Publish To Apple News] Non-Featured Images Stripped from Posts / Facebook Posts stripped](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-featured-images-stripped-from-posts-facebook-posts-stripped/) * Thread Starter [devitor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devitor/) * (@devitor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-featured-images-stripped-from-posts-facebook-posts-stripped/#post-7560920) * OK, here’s a post where I got all the photos working except the last one (on Apple News)….and I think I may have uncovered what is going on…. * [http://us4palin.com/palin-highlights-july-1-2016/](http://us4palin.com/palin-highlights-july-1-2016/) * That’s the post. All the images load on the website and are verified good. * The image that fails to load in Apple News for this post today is: * [http://cdn2.us4palin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/5822.jpg](http://cdn2.us4palin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/5822.jpg) * Now for the JSON…I’m only going to put the code relevant to the image in question, rather than clog the thread with the entire JSON file…. * ``` {"role":"photo","URL":"http:\/\/us4palin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/5822.jpg","layout":"anchor-layout-right","anchor":{"targetAnchorPosition":"center","rangeStart":0,"rangeLength":1,"targetComponentIdentifier":"component-49e172d42efabf81c777cb498c8bada9"}} ``` * I’m using MaxCDN. The image file in the JSON is loaded directly on the server. The image file in the post is being delivered through the CDN. * Being that it goes through a CDN, the URL changes – breaking the URL that’s in the JSON.
