I’m not really familiar with Cloudfare’s Rocket loader but that’s odd.

• Was Rocket Loader enabled before the update? Ignore this, after re-reading your previous comment I guess the answer is “yes, it was enabled”.
• Was Rocket Loader enabled when you switched to the Biznez Lite theme while using version 4.1?

Please enable Cloudfare’s Rocket Loader again so I can see what’s going on, @ktsiterip.

Thanks!

Alright, add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function wp676541_exclude_scripts_from_rocket_loader( $tag, $handle ) {

    if ( 'wpp-js' == $handle ) {
        return str_replace( ' src', ' data-cfasync="false" src', $tag );
    }

    return $tag;

}
add_filter( 'script_loader_tag', 'wp676541_exclude_scripts_from_rocket_loader', 10, 2 );

Apparently, the problem is that WPP’s new Ajax script is being executed before wpp-4.1.0.min.js is loaded and executed by Cloudflare’s Rocket Loader: according to their documentation, RL runs scripts on window.load while WPP’s Ajax script runs on DOMContentLoaded (which happens earlier, when the browser has completely loaded and parsed the HTML document).

When you disable the Rocket Loader feature, scripts are executed in their original order which is why WPP can load its posts. What puzzles me though is the fact that WPP 4.1 loads its posts just fine on the Biz Lite theme even if Rocket Loader is enabled, but it doesn’t in your current one.

The above function should instruct Rocket Loader to ignore WPP’s script. Remember to clear Comet Cache’s cache afterwards so changes are applied to your site.

You have a missing semicolon after add_filter 😛

add_filter( 'script_loader_tag', 'wp676541_exclude_scripts_from_rocket_loader', 10, 2 );
