I reached out to the ShortPixel team and received an answer on how/what fixes this issue. I have applied this fix & it works.

NOTE: For my Newspaper Theme setup I am using the sticky header for both desktop & mobile.

Solution: Go to (WP)Settings > ShortPixel AI > Behaviour and disable the option “Fade-in effect”, located on Settings > ShortPixel AI > Behaviour.

Figured out part of this – the root cause is SmartPixel – and the way they are processing images. Will provide update once I hear back from customer support.

I think they are gone for the weekend. I found this previously. Hope it helps

Hello, I’m responding to this thread because I am having the same issue. The problem FOR ME arises when I am using shortPixel SPAI. I have DISABLED ALL newspaper lazyloading – and this tag is still added to my CSS.

Additionally, the tag > data-spai=”1″ < doesn’t appear to be controlled by anything in the front-end of the site.

Question: What is this css-selector for? How can I turn it OFF for my header & footer images? It doesn’t appear to cause issues with other parts of the site.

Additionally –
FOR me the issue is with Desktop & iPad versions of the logo.
Footer – its all pages.

Please let me know what data-spai=”1″ is doing & what can I do on the front-end to disable it for the header/footer – so they show up.

Theme: Live Pro.

The tag shows up as part of the CSS for the header & footer. When the tag is removed (data-spai=”1″) – the header logo and footer logos show up.

Thanks Calin.

I was able to fix the header and the footer (both) by re-importing the demo. There is something very funky about it.

The Instagram issue persists.
