Ascend: Post Grid and Recent Posts widgets on sidebar and WordPress 5.0.3

Hi

I recently updated to Ascend Premium which is great! I’m updating our site – – to take advantage of some of the premium features and I have a problem with the Ascend Post Grid and Recent Posts widgets.

When I add them to a sidebar on a draft test page on the live site, the preview results in a server timeout. No other widgets do this, nor does the built-in WordPress Recent Posts widget (which outputs links to the latest posts, without thumbnails of the featured images). The blog_posts shortcode works fine on the test page. The site is running WordPress 5.0.3, with the classic editor as I’ve not yet moved to Gutenberg. Ascend theme is the latest, 1.7.0.

I have tried purging caches and re-saving permalinks but it makes no difference. However, the widgets work on my staging site, which is running on WordPress 5.0.2 so I suspect a possible conflict with these widgets which use blog post featured images and the latest 5.0.3 version of WordPress.

Any help to diagnose and resolve the issue would be appreciated!

Thanks for a superb theme.

Julian
