Hi @toddlerh,
Do you have a caching plugin installed on your website? Or is your website using a page cache provided by your hosting service or by a third-party service (eg. Cloudflare)? If so, you may need to flush said page cache for changes to apply to the rest of your website.
(Not near a computer to check your website right now, and it’s actually pretty late over here at the moment.)
Yes, I’ve flushed both my cache plugin and Cloudflare but the problem persists.
That’s odd. Just checked one of your posts and as you say the styling of the popular posts list there is fully broken. I suspect that there might be a conflict with another plugin so I’d check that first. Please try following the troubleshooting instructions and report back your results.
Thanks, I’ll go through the troubleshooting instructions and get back to you.
Just because it might save me a fair bit of time, do you know of any plugins or plugin types offhand that have created conflicts with WPP in the past?
Plugins that minify JS code are the usual suspects when this kind of stuff happens (eg. Autoptimize). Some of them can be a bit too aggressive when optimizing stuff which usually ends up breaking things.
Edit: To be fair though, most of them do warn the user that enabling certain features can cause issues.
If the problem goes away when loading the page with ?ao_noptimize=1 appended to the URL (which disables AO for that request) then try to identify what is breaking things by just disabling CSS or JS (or HTML or Image) optimization. Based on that we can see what the next steps need to be 🙂

Thanks, it did load correctly with ?ao_noptimize=1 appended to the post URLs (everything correct style-wise except the thumbnail spaces were empty) so I’ll try to edit my AO settings.
Turned off AO’s “Also aggregate inline CSS?” option and styles appear correctly in post view now, aside from empty image thumbnail spaces.
Ah yes. Autoptimize’s “aggregate inline CSS” is one of those things that in WPP’s case can cause issues. Thanks for the assistance, @optimizingmatters!
Regarding the thumbnail problem, this might help: My popular posts thumbnails are not loading. Why is that?
