julieb-9	Hey 🙂 I removed the emoji even tho I dont think its related to my issue : it was in the original article posted last January. I just added an SEO title, meta description and keyword. No emojis.

It is likely the emoji, as we have seen such issues various times in the past. Please dismiss the notification on the dashboard and let me know in case it shows up again. Let me know if further assistance will be needed.
