On Wednesday, June 14, 2023, the Associated Press Media API 2.2 release included a NITF namespace change.
In the past, BLOX would stop displaying the body content of articles from the Associated Press (AP) when certain changes were made, leaving the article with no content. However, BLOX Digital (formerly TownNews) addressed this issue in Syndication 1.31.4, which was released in Aug. 2021.
If your appliances are running OS 2.30 or an older version, you might encounter an empty body copy while importing AP articles. This happens because these appliances lack the necessary update to handle a namespace change in AP.
To ensure the proper functioning of AP content, it is important to have the latest OS version of 2.31 for the BLOX Total CMS appliance.
For any BLOX Total CMS appliance site experiencing this issue with the appliance, please update your appliance OS as soon as possible.
