News web part not displaying other site news items

The News Web Part on our hub home page is suddenly NOT displaying news from the sites selected. Worked one day, not the next. If I "update" the news on the selected sites, they then show up. The next day, they are gone again. Any ideas as to what the h*** is going on?

    I am having this same issue today. Older posts from other sites are displaying, but not News items posted yesterday.

      YoZoe Yup, same here, thought it may have bene due to feed site permissions, but nope. Seems to only display the last selected alphabetical, not based on most recent across all.

      bobbyblue , any luck researching your issue? I tried adding another news feed to no avail.

        404ryannotfound we were informed by Microsoft on 9/14 that it's a global issue. Other customers were also experiencing the same issue with News webpart when the option “Select Sites” is enabled. It is resolved now.  Hopefully for you as well.

        Glad to know it's not just us. BTW, all sites show when I select "all sites in the hub". I moved the ones I didn't want down below the viewable posts as a temporary workaround.

    We have this issue today, when choosing "All site in the Hub' together with a Filter...it does not work. It does work if I change it to 'This Site' together with the filter. Anybody also has issues?

    William Smith yes we've had the same issue today and the news web part only works properly when selecting This Site as the source of the news articles rather than sites in the hub or selected sites.

    Anyone who knows the issue? We have had the same issue for a shorter amount of time today?

    Having the same issue.....It only works if I choose "This site" but not "Other sites", and selecting the sites from the list that I want to display.
    "Recommended for current users" works, so I will use that for now.

      We are having the exact same issue and can confirm that the issue is with the "selected sites"-part of the web part.

    Well -- must have been Microsoft's idea of "April Fool's Day." I "edited" the news items on the other sites a couple of times, over a couple of days. Eventually, SP picked up on the idea. The News Web Part is now operating as expected. Huh.... head-scratcher. Will let it rest for now. Will be back if it happens again.
