BUG: Hub Site no longer displaying newly published news from associated site
As of July 1st or so, our hub site is not displaying newly published news articles from associated sites. It does, however, display news articles from associated sites published prior to July 1st.
News published after July 1st (or thereabouts) in an associated site is not visible from:
The associated hub site
SharePoint Mobile App - News tab
SharePoint Mobile App - Hub Site homepage
It is visible from:
SharePoint Home
The associated site's homepage
I have tried:
- Disassociating and re-associating the associated site to the hub site
- Unpublishing and republishing the page on the associated site
- Different browsers
- Multiple users

- OVER two years in and still no solution to this. Why not simply remove the News webpart from the hubsite and make clear to all admins that it's not available?
OF COURSE this has been a bug for four years; wish I had found this article earlier. I've had a ticket open with Microsoft for SIX MONTHS on this, and the tech has literally just been emailing me twice a week for the past few months only to tell me each time, "I just want to let you know that I am continuously pinging our escalated case, I will update you once we get an update from our internal team." Just going to add this to my ever-growing pile of issues that'll likely never be fixed.
mgudites1 this will be no help I know but it's not a universal problem: the news posts from our associated posts flow up to the hub site with no problem.

- Another good point! Yes If I search my Hub Site I do see the news article right away even before I hit 'Enter'.
- I know they supposedly rolled out a fix for this, but maybe they broke something in the process? I don't think I've had subhub sites that have posted any news to know better since July 1st, I need to go post one.
Can you check to see if maybe you have the new filter version of the news webpart? Or screenshot your hub news webpart settings pane? I use the "Selected Sites" for my news and it's working, what if you use that does it rollup the new articles?- Christopher, great point! I was using "All Sites in the Hub" so I tried the "Selected Sites" and checked only the site I knew published news in the last week or two. It's still not showing the most recent news post but is showing older ones.
That was worth a try, though and might help MS narrow down the issue.
