 * We are getting errors from facebook on posts that are still drafts. The finished
   post does not come up with any errors.
 * Can you suggest how fix the errors on draft posts as Facebook won’t approve us
   to publish before fixing the errors.

 * Had the same thing happen, which caused them to reject my account until I submit
   another 20 samples.
 * Frustrating.

 * Hi guys,
 * Thanks for reporting. We actually changed this behaviour in version 2.8 I’ve 
   just released.
 * Update the plugin and it’ll stop submitting draft posts.
 * Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks a lot for raising this issue.
 * Best,
    Diego

 * We aren’t seeing draft posts submitted to Instant Articles, but they are still
   being submitted to the Facebook Scraper, which sees nothing since the post isn’t
   published.
 * We then have to constantly re-scrape every post with the Facebook debugger.

 * This seems to have been fixed on our end since the last update. ver 3.0.1

 * Every drafted submitted since 3.0.1 is now returning an error saying the article
   is blank.
