No problem, anytime! Thank you.

We certainly try! It seemed to have an extra line/file of code, which confused the WP directory upload function. It is now deleted on 1.3, so give it a try when you get a chance and let me know. It seems perfect now!

Actually, I think it was far more simple than that. Give me a half hour to upload the update.

Hi Gooma2,

I have seen this on the Editor Picks’ Plugin before, which will be fixed with the update that is going out this week. The functions (prefixes) are the same in the editors’ picks version as the premium, but because all of the functions’ dependencies aren’t included in the free version, it sometimes does that.

After uploading the plugin, don’t click the activation link that appears immediately after installation. Instead, navigate to “Plugins” and click “Installed Plugins” — from the list there, find the Inactive Google News Editors’ Picks and activate the plugin from the list.

It works like that. If you still have a problem, let me know. I don’t mind letting you test- run the premium version, but without an active license it will only generate feeds. Maybe I can give you a temporary license to check compatibility or something.

Hello Sheeraz,

Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps others will not be happy with us, but we are doing just that in order to keep up with best practices, avoid conflicts with certain plugins, and because I frankly agree with you.

We originally designed it like this so that other, smaller sites ensured they were updating within 48 hours and remaining Google compliant, but that’s just not feasible for most sites. Keep a look out for the update, which will be out sometime in the next week or so.

And sorry for the late response. I am not receiving email notifications for some reason.

I am going to assume it was the WP version since you never replied, and mark it as resolved.

Basically, for some reason it is telling you that you do not have a js dependency file for the function to work. But that should be included in WordPress.

What is your current version?

Do you have FTP access?

What is your current WP version? The wp_enqueue_media function is only available in Version 3.5 or higher.

This is exactly what I am dealing with now, and my new site is completely messed up. Did you have any success? I deleted the entire cache folder, took out the function in wp-config.php, but it’s still broken.

Unfortunately, you are likely not going to get an answer, though I hope you do. The new section may have defaulted to “exclude” in the actual plugin settings.

That’s why when I create the WordPress Google News Plugin it was designed to include all posts, even new sections or custom post types, and just gave the option to exclude all articles on a post-by-post basis instead.

Anyway, check if your new section is excluded as a category. I’ve used this plugin in the past.

Can I ask how you stopped that Geoffray? I just migrated to a dedicated server and have started to see the same garbage on my htaccess file, as well. All the Twitter Cards and Facebook posts were not showing images, and even images on front end of site were not displaying. I removed that and viola. But it will likely be back, right?

With the function I wrote, I did set up the option for categories and tags to be used in the absence of news_keywords specifically entered in the text field, because they are closely related. For example, in the plugin’s functions.php file I have:

$bgnp_meta_kywrds = get_post_meta($post_id, '_bgnp_meta_kywrds', true);
	if( !empty( $bgnp_meta_kywrds ) ) {
		echo '<meta name="news_keywords" content="' . esc_attr( $bgnp_meta_kywrds ) . '" />' . "\n";
	}else{ .....

But for Google, they are used to help specifically identify what the post is about for the purpose of specific user search queries, versus where the post should be included topic-wise in Google News. That’s what the XML news tags are for. Google says:

One of the best ways to ensure that your site appears for particular user queries is to make sure that your article naturally contains the words, names, and figures that are central to a particular news story.

And on the <news:keywords> XML tag:

The tag is used to help classify the articles you submit to Google News by topic.

I am sorry for the last post, after reading it again, it wasn’t very clear, at all.

I understand the plugin author’s argument. However, <news:keywords> XML tag simply helps Google appropriately characterize where in Google News section-based content the article belongs, not if people are particularly looking for an article of that nature. The news_keywords metatag will greatly increase your traffic and, most importantly to publishers, allows them to get creative with the title without being at risk of falling off on Google and Google News SEO optimization.

We just had an article on this, and I found this when checking SEO.

I am having the same issue with an updated version of Tribune theme by WPZOOM. The old theme was fine, but now this is happening. The full width page is just too wide, and appears unchangeable.

Thank you so much for the help zooktron! It’s working like a champ. I do like how there are other books in the library, btw. It gives me time to put in more, without it looking ridiculous.

Have a great night.
