[phdpe]

Anyone else having this issue? Since Monday 6/2, it only retrieves August 1, 2024 issue. Thanks!

unkn0wn:

Several months ago, the front page of the Wall Street Journal, by
unkn0wn, disappeared and was replaced by a blank page with WSJ News
and the current date.

Reference attached JPG file, please fix the WSJ recipe to display the
daily front page masthead instead of the current blank page with WSJ
News and date.

Thank you.

Thank you for the WSJ masthead but now the masthead (front page) contents are not readable when you zoom in.

It used to be readable when you zoomed in. For example, when you download the Washington Post, you can zoom in on its masthead and read the contents of the front page.

Please fix if possible.

Thank you,

I appreciate you responding. I was surprised since the WSJ recipe before the WSJ masthead (front page) disappeared allowed folks to zoom in and read the text on the masthead (front page) of the daily WSJ.

I thought that capability would be restored when the recipe was fixed.

Not trying to be pushy here but is it possible to check the WSJ recipe from before the WSJ masthead (front page) disappeared and see if the capability to zoom in is the same now as before or check the zoom capability on WaPo (Washington Post) recipe to see if it is the same as for the WSJ?

If everything is the same, thank you for restoring the masthead (front page)!!! I appreciate the effort.

the initial source is no longer available. This is the source I've found now. If you can find a website that gives a hi-res front page image for wsj, i will update it.

The Monday WSJ 28 JUL 2025 masthead (front page) was the same as weekend (26-27 JUL 2025) masthead.

Is there any way to get it to change daily?

Please note nickredding's webpage post in this thread which seems to have a high-res WSJ front page image.

What is the difference in content between the two (2) WSJ recipes currently working on Calibre?

Thank you for helping me (and others) with reading the WSJ.

The WSJ is going to get more interesting to read as the months go on, I bet!!!
