Hi Team,

The Eurasian time stories are not getting open in google news app.

Steps to replicate :

A. Navigate to your Google news mobile app.
B. Search Eurasain times in search bar.
C. Now click any of the article.

1. This is the URL of one of the Eurasian times story under google news app.

URL : https://www-eurasiantimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.eurasiantimes.com/pakistani-media-blames-israel-for-deteriorating-india-canada/?amp_js_v=0.1#webview=1&cap=swipe

Here is we see the structure of the URL and open http://www.eurasiantimes.com/pakistani-media-blames-israel-for-deteriorating-india-canada/?amp_js_v=0.1#webview=1&cap=swipe in browser then its working fine however if we use it with this prefix which makes the complete URL of the Eurasian times article that we got from google news app) https://www-eurasiantimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ then the complete URL is showing as blank.

2. We tried to curl the above storyURL, attached is the response that we got.

Hi Calin,

Thanks for sharing the articles but unfortunately none of them is similar to the issue that We are facing on our website with the tagDiv newspaper theme.

In the issue that we are facing, our website “https://www.eurasiantimes.com/” articles is not opening in the Google News mobile app. If you open to Google News mobile app and then search EurAsia Times in the app, then if you click on any of the Eurasian Times stories, the blank page is coming within the Google News app.

Hi NyttenET,
I made some deep research and it looks that the ” https://www-eurasiantimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/” is related to AMP Cache URL Format and Request Handling, normally if you don’t use AMP, when a reader clicks one of your links on the https://news.google.com site they should be redirected to your site. On mobile, the article is instead opened in the Google News app and the reader can still optionally visit your site from the article.
Thank you!

Hi Calin,

What we are trying to understand is – Why our stories do not open on the Google News App?

We consulted experts, and many suggested this could be an issue with the theme.
What do you think?

Looking Forward

Hi,
Normally should not be a problem from the theme, there are many users using the Newspaper theme and google news, but it is possible that using the theme with some extra plugins or custom code to appear some problems. Th strange thing is that after you refresh the page the problem is resolved.
The best way to find it out it’s to do some tests and see the results.
Thank you!
