WordPress & Apple News Update

I am having a serious issue with publishing content to Apple News since updating to the latest version of WordPress.

Images won’t publish/appear with the content once it’s aggregated to the Apple News platform, and the content is repeated in multiple categories even though only ONE it selected per article published.

I have read others having a very similar issue, but since updating to the latest version of WordPress this issue now seems permanent. I can only hope the developers of the plugin have a new update coming that addresses and fixes these problematic issues.
