Url with 3 digit

Hi moz261, what digits in which URL are you talking about? Can you give an example or share a link?

hi RavanH..

guidelines : (see the last paragraph) : https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/68323?hl=en

sometimes 4 or more, but a digit : https://www.sudouest.fr/2015/03/05/il-ne-me-manque-plus-que-le-kepi-le-sous-prefet-a-l-ecoute-1848850-3755.php

seems to be recurrent in urls for google news..

Tks for your advice

How the URLs of your news items are created depends on your WordPress Permalink settings. If you include date in permalinks (default) then you’re sure to have more then 3 digits.

Anyway, I don’t think Google News ever had trouble crawling news articles rendered by a WordPress site no matter what the Permalink settings are. Or at least I’ve never heard about it. You might want to keep an eye on errors in your Webmaster Tools account.

Also, please note the line at the end of https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/68323?hl=en which says: “Please note that this rule is waived with News sitemaps.”

So I’d be very surprised if there will be any issues related to digits in your URLs.
