Multiple news web parts with a filter on a homepage
I had a support ticket that is closed now. They admitted it is a bug and have elevated it to the developers. I found that I could use the filter on a modern team site, but not on a communications site. We had our intranet launch so had to do so without filtering out our news.

This is working again on our tenant.
Thanks!! I did not have time to re-test it until today, but it is working in my tenant as well.
Carol DeMuthI noticed this thread is a little old but we are seeing this same issue as well. Is the filtering still working as you expected on News? Did Microsoft provide any insight on what they did to fix? Just wonder if or why this might not have been rolled out to all tenants.
bogeorge We gave up since it was it was not working correctly. Now we have all the news in one Web part - But we use the feature on the web part edit to organize the news so the most important goes to the top. I also attended a session/lab at the SP Conference in May about site pages/designs and got some ideas from the people actually working on the pages. This is a great reference https://sharepointlookbook.azurewebsites.net/
I think they are working on improving this since some of the people gave them feed back on this.
Hi all,
this is great, the bug is fixed, … but now I am wondering if there is a way to keep the same filter even if the "Show All" link is clicked?
In other words, the news web part filter is set and working as long as the user does not click the "Show All" link. There appear to be no filter option in the "Show All" view of the news items. In my mind it should keep the filter from the web part it was called from...!?!
