 * UPDATE:
 * Fixed the issue without a plugin. In the post itself, go to screen options and
   make sure custom is checked. Delete all the apple tags individually and click
   update. Then go back to the articles section of the plugin and delete the articles.
   Then I was able to re-publish no problem. Appreciate all the help. Thanks!

 * Appreciate the quick reply. I’m a relatively novice user, so I wasn’t sure where
   to go to do this. I Googled, which led me to go to the post itself in WordPress
   and click on the Text editor as opposed to Visual editor. I checked a few posts
   and I don’t see anything with apple_news_ as suggested above. If I’m not looking
   in the correct spot, could you point me in the right direction?

 * I wish I had researched more before I got everything all FUBAR, but here’s an
   update:
 * I thought changing the API key would let me re-publish everything, but no dice.
   The good news is any articles I post going forward sync just fine. Just did a
   test post and it synced perfectly.
 * My issue is all the articles I did before I got approved on News (roughly 15 
   or so) are in the dark. Now that I changed the API key, all of those articles
   show SYNC STATUS as PUBLISHED, but APPLE NEWS STATUS is: NOT_FOUND (keyPath articleId).
 * So, lesson learned: do not delete these articles from iCloud. That was a dumb
   move on my part and I’m kicking myself now. If I can’t get those posted, it isn’t
   the worst thing in the world. I just wanted a channel full of articles before
   sending the link out, but it is what it is.
 * But… is there a way to get those old articles published? To summarize everything
   from the beginning:
 * * deleted the articles from iCloud.com’s News Publisher page
    * they still showed
   as PUBLISHED, LIVE on the plugin page on WordPress * tried to delete and publish
   from the plugin page on WordPress. Would get a message that it was ‘deleted’ 
   or ‘published’ ok, but neither the APPLE NEWS STATUS nor SYNC STATUS would ever
   change * went to iCloud.com to get a new API key. Entered this info into the 
   plugin settings * new articles now post and sync fine * the old articles I deleted(
   first asterik) now show a SYNC STATUS of published but an APPLE NEWS STATUS of
   NOT_FOUND (keyPath articleId) * Is there anything I can do to clear up this mess
   so that I can publish my old articles to Apple News?
 * Thanks for you patience and support.
