Description sparhawk 2021-03-16 03:08:46 UTC 
SUMMARY
My wallpaper is set to the National Geographic Picture of the Day. This used to update fine, but it's currently stuck on an image from 3.5 weeks ago, the February 15 hippos.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click on Desktop
2. Select `Configure Desktop and Wallpaper…`
3. Change `Wallpaper Type` to `Picture of the Day`
4. Change `Provider` to `National Geographic`
5. Click `Apply`

OBSERVED RESULT
Wallpaper has not been updated since February 15.

EXPECTED RESULT
Wallpaper should update every day.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Up-to-date Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.2 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have two Arch/KDE systems, and neither is updating its National Geographic Picture of the Day wallpaper.

In addition, my second monitor has the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Day, and this has been updating fine.

In the forums, another user (Mamarok) confirmed the wallpaper not being fetched. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=170406&p=443686#p443686
