Yoast News SEO working, but posts not showing in Google News

    Some time ago, due to huge numbers of bots hitting my website, I changed my CDN to Cloudflare. Although I've followed the guidance from Yoast, i.e:

    Disabling sitemap caching in WP Rocket

    Prevented news sitemap caching in Cloudflare

    Using Google Search Console to check that Google had indexed the relevant posts.

    Posts in my news-sitemap.xml are not showing in Google News.

    Using Cloudflare Security rules I have:

    In the first rule I have set Twitter, Google and LinkedIn bots to 'Non-Interactive Challenge', which stops Cloudflare evaluating later rules

    In the second rule I allow WP Rocket to access its SaaS features to 'Non-Interactive Challenge'.

    In the third rule I allow Good bots to 'Non-Interactive Challenge'.

    In the fourth rule I set aggressive web spiders to 'Block'

    In the fifth rule I set the continent of Asia to 'Block' as the vast majority bots hitting my website came from Asia.

    Not sure what to do to kick Google News into action.

    Any thoughts?

    TIA
