Customer:

I need help with the display.drawPngFromWeb method - it doesn’t display PNG images from the web on my Inkplate 6COLOR display. The method seems to be broken.

Have you enabled the Serial monitor at 115200 baud to see if there is anything being printed by Inkplate?

Try the drawImage method instead. drawImage can handle .png files just fine. Check the example code in web_wifi > show pictures from web example for Inkplate 6COLOR.

Let me know if that works.
