We've started getting notifications from Google about AMP errors related to blog posts.

This is a feature I've never specifically looked at or set up to be honest so am assuming it might be to do with the recent 5.1 updates. Is this something I should configure to fix or is it a wee bug which has crept in?

The errors, in one example include "Invalid layout property found in AMP tag (Critical issue)" (and clicking through details I get "The implied layout 'CONTAINER' is not supported by tag 'amp-img'" as well as "Invalid CSS stylesheet (Critical issue)" and " Use of deprecated tags or attributes (Non-critical issue)" and "Invalid structured data element (Non-critical issue)"
Hello Simon,

Ah thanks! There were too many users sharing their webmaster account with me so there's a ton of sites there which I am not too sure is owned by whom

Okay, you don't have to worry about those errors as I believe Google is probably caching it. Give it a week or two, for it to go off. Google was complaining about 3 URLs and upon testing those URLs now, they are all working fine

Hello Simon,

There is a possibility that these errors were cached from the earlier versions of 5.1.x. The latest version of 5.1.4 should already address this. Anyway, is it possible for you to add mark@stackideas.com to your Google webmaster list so that I can take a look at those problematic urls?

Hello Simon,

Can I know which domain is this? I believe you need to verify the site first as I can't seem to access it

Sorry it's pentlandplantsgardencentre.co.uk, should already be verified (at least the site is verified, adding you to view the property didn't seem to ask for any extra verification)
