News post got stuck in hub site’s news web part even after removing the site from the hub
Hi all! I had posted some news on my SP site and then associated the SP site with a hub. After adding a news web part to the hub, the news from the associated site correctly rolled up. However, after removing the SP site from the hub, I was expecting to see the news from the previously associated site disappeared from the hub site's news web part, however those news still show. Did anyone encountered this issue before or know how to solve it? Thanks!
- I waited for a day after reindex'ing the library but the news from the removed site still show on the hub. I tried to unpublished the news on the removed site and republished the news. The news disappeared from the hub but still showed up after republishing. Is there something else that can possibly cause this issue? Thanks!
- Thanks! I don't have the SP admin role though so it does not seem like I can use PowerShell to change the PromotedState.
Thank you SteveKnutson and ganeshsanap for the reply. I reindex'ed the Site Page library in the site that I removed from the Hub. The news from the site are still showing on the Hub 2 hours after the library being reinfex'ed. I will wait for another day to see if the news would stop showing and will let you know.
Follow this Microsoft official documentation for manually reindexing the Site Pages document library as suggested by SteveKnutson : Manually request crawling and reindexing of a site, a library or a list

- Have you tried to reindex the Sites Pages library in the site you removed from the Hub? The News rollup uses the Search index to find posts to display.
