1. INVALID_ARGUMENT: MimeType is not matching the file extension

πŸ“” Explanation:

This typically happens when the cover image has a different extension than what the website expects. For example, the featured image field expects a PNG file while you added a JPG/JPEG file in StoryChief.

βœ… Solution:

  1. Check the current image file type in the field (right click + inspect).

  2. On your computer (or with a software), change the file type. If it was PNG, make it JPG & vice versa.

  3. Remove the current featured image and replace it with your new image.

  4. Retry publishing.
