Hi @dbay920,
Thank you for the attached sample project.
I tested it on our side, however, was unable to recreate the issue. For your convenience, I am attaching Screenshots for iOS and Android.

ios

android

Regarding that, could you check if the problem images are related to some temporary issue with the image URL?

Also, I notice that you are using an old version of the modules and runtime and I would suggest updating to the latest version.

1. tns plugin remove tns-core-modules
2. tns plugin add tns-core-modules
3. tns platform remove android
4. tns platform add android
5. tns platform remove ios
6. tns platform add ios

Thanks for testing but it looks to me like you are at the landing page for the News view. You need to tap on a blog post title or the continue reading button to see the issue I am having. I will take your advice and update my modules.

So I just figured this out! I noticed that literally every image we are using for the blog has either a dash or an underscore included in the name. By replacing an existing image with one that had a text only name the image displays in my app. This is really unusual since other images on our site with dashes/underscores do display in the app. Maybe it has something to do with wordpress

Hi @dbay920,
Indeed it might be related to an issue with the image URL generated by WordPress.
Regarding your last comment, I have considered that the problem is fixed and we could close the issue.
