Plugin broken after update

    Hi,

    Why is it that the plugin broke in what seems to be two places after the recent update? Seems to be a lot of people are experiencing this by looking at the threads here.

    Honestly, this is very nearly the best popular posts plugin on WP. Nothing comes close when it is working properly.

    But I noticed on our version, and by piecing together what others have posted recently, the last update caused the Post Type selection in the plugin settings to be blank and then all the quotation marks for every shortcode we had used were then the wrong quotation marks!

    Re-selecting the post type and re-typing the quotation marks into the shortcodes got this everything working again. How on earth did the previously correct quotation marks get changed though(!)

    The problem is, why did this happen? And is this the sort of thing that will happen with every update?

    Many thanks

    David

  • Hi @davidhc,

    Yes, We have updated the plugin to new version 1.2.3 and in that we have provided ‘Custom Post Type’ selection. So user can enable only its desired post type and no other unnecessary data will be stored.

    This thing we have mentioned in our change log with other updates but some people miss it to read

    After updating the plugin you just need to tick your desired post type in plugin setting and pass it to shortcode. That’s it.

    Sorry for the inconvenience but it is the necessary update in the plugin for better use.

    Please let me know after updating plugin settings, functionality start again.

    For your query about the ‘quotation’, I don’t know about this because I have never faced this type of issue. This only happens when we copy the shortcode from somewhere and paste it to WordPress editor so the quotes are converted to special characters. You can paste shortcode directly to ‘Text’ tab of WordPress or first paste it in to notepad then copy it and paste it to editor.

    Please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks,
