Hi @boaz,

No it’s not the Free Limits, It should show the featured images. You can even see featured images showing in the Demos of Free Version as well https://www.themehorse.com/demos/newscard/.

Actually In those sections Black Background will be shown if the posts doesn’t have its featured image set. Please Make Sure you have set the featured images on every posts which you want to show on those sections.

Please Let us Know If you still have the issue.

Thanks
