 * If you look at articles from [http://thefinancegenie.com](http://thefinancegenie.com)
   on Apple News (in The Finance Genie) you will see that the first paragraph is
   getting duplicated. This is happening with a number of our sites. Any ideas why
   this would be happening?
 * Thanks

 * We are seeing the same issue on other sites as well, via the Apple News app. 
   The issue is occurring on articles for the following channels:
 * The Political Insider
    Caged Insider Fightline KayfabeNews MMA Frenzy Wrestle
   Newz
 * Any insight as to why we might be seeing duplicate first paragraphs? It looks
   like the change in format went into effect sometime around the end of June (sometime
   between the 23rd and the 26th maybe) as articles published before then did not
   have the excerpt/summary at the top.

 * [@andyaffleck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andyaffleck/) I see The Finance
   Genie got this sorted out in your two most recent posts. What was the fix you
   discovered?

 * Deep in the plugin is a customization area where we had intro + article and the
   intro was the first paragraph. Kate (above) figured it out.

 * [@hmurphy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hmurphy/) – There’s a setting 
   called “Component Order” in the theme within the plugin. “Intro” was an active
   element in the Component Order. I made “Intro” inactive which then took care 
   of the duplicate opening paragraph issue.

 * I am trying to get my sites into Apple News and am getting the same error…I went
   into the theme and made “Intro” inactive, but am still getting the duplicate 
   paragraph…Apple also directed me to this forum. Any ideas? Does it just take 
   time to update?

   or can help me debug?
