Question for those already publishing on Instant Articles

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, I’m about to submit my stuff to Facebook for approval to publish on Instant Articles, and I’m only having one theme-specific problem: TagDiv Gallery photos are not showing up. Instant Articles is NOT flagging this as an error on my feed, so that may not disqualify me from publishing, but obviously there’s no point in publishing galleries without photos.

So I’m wondering whether someone has managed to define a transformer rule so that TagDiv Galleries are rendered in Instant Articles. I checked out the documentation and saw there is a SlideshowRule component, but I’m afraid getting this to work may be beyond my skill level.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
Unfortunately we have not tested facebook’s Instant Articles so we cannot say for sure why the gallery does not work. Maybe one of our users can help out in this matter if they tested this further.
Thanks.

Thanks, I’ve gone back to using the default WP gallery for now.

Hi,
Facebook instant articles were not yet included in our theme. When we test and include them we will post this information in the changelog. At the moment, there is no solution we can provide for this yet. Please use a default wp gallery if the theme specific one does not work on FB. Or you could try to use a gallery plugin and see if FB recognizes it.
Thank you!
