Linkify crashes Site

    Hi Scott. I’ve been using this plugin for around 6 months without any issues at all. It was the first one I installed and it’s a big part of my workflow when I’m blogging.

    Yesterday, around 5pm GMT, I hit a problem. All of a sudden, in the middle of writing a blog, my website wouldn’t save – it kept saying ‘saving’… but that’s how it stayed.

    Initially, I didn’t think it was Linkify that was causing the issue, but around 30 minutes later, I got an auto-generated email from WP (shown below)

    Error Details
    =============
    An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 288 of the file /homepages/0/d770584787/htdocs/app770584978/wp-content/plugins/linkify-text/linkify-text.php. Error message: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

    I disabled Linkify and everything then worked fine.

    This is the first time I’ve had an issue with Linkify. I’m not very techy in this area and wondered whether the above error gives you any clues as to what’s gone wrong?

    All the best.

    Steve
