Index not displaying

Can I get some help on this??

same here. only works on blog with few posts, if you have 1000 posts it can’t display them

This is a great plugin – does what I want. However, I have a similar problem – sometimes get a blank white screen, but not always. For some reason it seems to happen after an update to another (random) plugin and I test the application via the ‘Visit Site’ option in the Dashboard. The blog has over 700 posts – is this a problem? As I’ve said it doesn’t happen all of the time. Any ideas?

Hi there,

sorry for the late reply. A newer development version of the plugin is available on GitHub (https://github.com/thirsch/post-index). The new version does not use any output buffering anymore which might be the reason for the blank page. Are you familiar with manually updating your plugin? If yes, just download the development version from GitHub and give it a try.

Best wishes

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for this download – I installed the update and unfortunately the problem went solid – i.e the display didn’t work at all. When I restored the old version and the problem was still solid I decided that the real problem might be elsewhere. I toggled a few other plugins on and of and it would seem that there is a conflict with the Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin. If I deactivate that plugin the index works fine, if I activate the SEO plugin then the index displays a blank white screen. I’ll play around a bit and see if I can get to the bottom of the problem. In the meantime thanks for your help. The plugin is exactly what I want.

Kind Regards,

Hi Thomas,

I’m having the same issue. Works perfectly on categories with 300 posts. Does not work on category with 701.

Works: https://glutenfreeworks.com/health/symptom-search/health-condition-search/

Does not work: https://glutenfreeworks.com/health/dictionary/

I uploaded version .8-dev as recommended to no avail.

The plugin was working fine before. I deactivated other plugins. No effect.

Please advise.

Thanks!

John

I suspect this may be a memory problem caused, in my case, by extra columns generated for the posts by WP-SEO. I activated the WP-SEO plugin and also switched on the debug option and the following message appeared –
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in /home/sites/billgsnaps.co.uk/public_html/weepaperpeople.co.uk/wp-includes/meta.php on line 816

I increased WP_MEMORY_LIMIT in wp-config.php and the problem went away. However, as more posts are added, I suspect the problem may return. My host provider has a memory limit set.

Hi bgrosart,

thank you for sharing your current solution. Unfortunately, WP (at least < 3.9) is loading all custom fields and values as soon as you access one of the fields. The only possible solution to avoid this issue seems to be a complete custom database query. I’ll have a look into the new API (4.0), if there is any change and see, how we can fix the issue.

At the moment, the only solutions will be to reduce the amount of custom fields (and the values stored in custom fields), disable custom field support in the plugin or increase the allowed memory on your host.

Best wishes,
Thomas
