Great plugin
Great plugin which brings the stories like navigation to WordPress in a few easy steps. The interface and user experience is unique. The way it adjusts the image to fit it without stretching it is amazing.I have a small issue on my mobile, where I can not scroll when moving my thumb over the stories, a little issue that harms the visitor user experience.Suggestion 1: It would be nice to have stories categories just like Instagram.Suggestion 2: Use vertical videos from Youtube.
Good Plugin
The plugin has a great UI just like a Studio, State of Art Development in WordPress. I’d prefer to use JetPack Stories Block to support WordPress ecosystem, but after getting Json error trying to use it, I tried the one developed by Google.
Web Stories 1.42.0 media upload stuck on “Uploading…” on WordPress 7.x
I am experiencing an issue with the Web Stories plugin version 1.42.0 on my WordPress website NKVANTAGE. I am currently using WordPress 7.x, and the Web Stories media uploader remains stuck on “Uploading…” and does not complete. The normal WordPress Media Library works correctly, so the server upload limit does not appear to be the problem. I also tested with several plugins disabled, including Rank Math, Internal Link Juicer, and LiteSpeed Cache, but the issue remains. The browser console reports JavaScript errors including “Can only have one anonymous define call per script file,” “.sortable is not a function,” and “ClipboardJS is not defined,” along with a COEP-related blocked resource error. The Web Stories plugin page also indicates that version 1.42.0 has only been tested up to WordPress 6.8.8. Please investigate whether Web Stories 1.42.0 is compatible with the newer WordPress 7.x release and whether these JavaScript errors are related to the media uploader problem.

Extremely Heavy and Not WordPress 7 Compatible
It is extremely heavy, slows down the website, and is not compatible with WordPress version 7.
Expected a bit more from Google…
The plugin is great… But the plugin does not have mobile design. You cant make new stories by your phone. You must use either PC or tablet.

Close button
Hello! I'm experiencing an issue with the close button in the web stories.Observation:During the initial page load, the close button is visible. However, once the page fully loads, the close button disappears.Suspected Cause:It appears that a CSS class, likely i-amphtml-story-ui-hide-button or a similar class that applies display: none or visibility: hidden, is being dynamically added to the close button element (.i-amphtml-story-close-control) after the initial load.Testing:I've tested this on a fresh WordPress installation with only your plugin activated, and the issue occurs there as well. Initially, the button shows correctly, but after some time or after the story fully loads, it becomes hidden.Suggestion:Could you please investigate why the i-amphtml-story-ui-hide-button (or a similar hiding class) is being applied to the close button and potentially remove or prevent this class from being added, especially in scenarios where the user might want immediate access to close the story?Thank you for your work on this plugin!

Images Automatically Disappearing in Web Stories Plugin
I’m using the Web Stories plugin on my WordPress site, but I’m encountering an issue where images I upload are disappearing after a short time. They’re successfully added initially, but when I check back, they’re removed without any notification or error message. I’ve tried troubleshooting this with caching and image optimization settings but haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause. Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions for resolving it?
