For what its worth the source for the statement in the Wikipedia article claiming that Priming studies suffer from the replication crisis is from Bowers (2012) is actually a short non-peer reviewed opinion piece from a magazine called Science News with 0 references, and is actually talking about the replication problem in social psychology, using social-priming as an example. This Wikipedia article probably needs to be edited to reflect that.
That said I do admit that I’ve read some claims from cognitive psychologists about priming which probably needs to be replicated, that is cognitive psychology also suffers from the same replication crisis as social psychology. However cognitive priming never reached the same hype as social priming (and why would it; the claims are about some boring reaction times and proportions of false positives after a 1000 trials, etc; unlike social psychology where the claims are all „work faster and more accurate by changing this one thing“)
