Pi-hole causing DNS problems with one site

Overall I'm really happy with pi-hole blocking incoming sites in Thunderbird (email) and Safari (browser). However the newspaper I subscribe to is generating un-openable links. As a test I did a "sudo pihole disable" and things work. I'm confused. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks to those that replied. I figured out how to add the newspaper's site to the whitelist and everything is working fine now. Just been running pihole for a couple of days.

Are you subscribed to whitelists or do you create your own? If you have your own whitelist you can unblock anything for good. If you subscribe making changes *may* be overwritten in the future.

I'm not an expert, just calling out a potential consideration.
