GN You haven’t added any content

Hi Musasiug,

I received your email as well.

Looking at your publication and doing some testing, it looks like it is working okay now.

Are you still getting that error?

Chris

Google News stopped receiving RSS feeds updates, it doesn’t update, even after publishing. It stopped 6 days ago.

Am now using direct feeds, and they are showing up but your GN stopped working.

My address is valid but nothing updates in Google News: https://lifestyleug.com/category/news/feed/gn

I took a step to Validate, I get this error. https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Flifestyleug.com%2Fcategory%2Fnews%2Ffeed%2Fgn

[Sorry. This feed does not validate.

line 13, column 23: XML parsing error: <unknown>:13:23: undefined entity]

Help me

Okay, it’s the – in the title that is causing the validation error.

Did you make a change recently to the title separator?

Chris

No, i didn’t.

I only updated to the latest WordPress version.

But the issue of GN Publisher not sending feeds has been there before I even updated WordPress.

So what is the solution? Why is the direct feed word but the GN generated feeds don’t work in Google News?”

Hi Musasiug,

Yep, something changed with the dash in the title that’s causing an issue. Have had some other reports about this same issue happening about the same time. It may have something to do with a change in Yoast, but I’m not sure about that, just a line of investigation.

If the raw feeds work for you, you might switch to that for now. In the meantime I will be working on a fix through GN Publisher and will update as soon as I can,

Chris
