 * After the plugin update, the story views on the homepage disappeared and never
   come back. Could there be a problem with the update?

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks a lot for reaching out.
 * On your website you have a lot of custom CSS for the Web Stories block that is
   not coming from the plugin, but you added yourself. Here’s an excerpt:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .web-stories-list {  position: relative;  z-index: 1;}.mag-box .web-stories-list {  margin-bottom: 10px;  margin-top: 10px;}.web-stories-list__story-poster:after {  transition: opacity 0.2s;}.web-stories-list__story:hover .web-stories-list__story-poster:after {  opacity: 0.6;}.web-stories-list.is-view-type-carousel .web-stories-list__story,.web-stories-list.is-view-type-grid .web-stories-list__story {  min-width: 0 !important;}.is-view-type-circles.is-carousel .web-stories-list__inner-wrapper .web-stories-list__story:not(.visible) {  height: var(--ws-circle-size);  overflow: hidden;}.web-stories-list-block.is-carousel .web-stories-list__story:not(.glider-slide) {  visibility: hidden;}.is-view-type-list .web-stories-list__inner-wrapper {  display: flex;  flex-wrap: wrap;}.is-view-type-list .web-stories-list__inner-wrapper > * {  flex: 0 0 49%;  margin: 0 0.5%;}@media (min-width: 676px) {  .is-view-type-carousel .web-stories-list__carousel:not(.glider) {    height: 277px;  }}
       ```
   
 * The problem is specifically this line:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .web-stories-list-block.is-carousel .web-stories-list__story:not(.glider-slide) {  visibility: hidden;}
       ```
   
 * If you remove it, then the stories will be displayed as usual again on your homepage.
 * Again, this is some custom CSS on your website, maybe coming from your theme 
   or elsewhere.

 * Everything is as it was before the update and they looked healthy before the 
   update. No settings have changed and no css has been added. Can we go back to
   the old version?

 * Well you probably had this CSS on your site for quite a while, but now we made
   some changes to the Web Stories block in the latest version, and your CSS isn’t
   compatible with that anymore. So I recommend updating your CSS accordingly.
