As long as the default is the text-field that could work. I don’t think Categories would ever be an issue unless someone had a very strange way of organizing posts. Although tags and members is one of those things that grow overtime.

The easiest and maybe best way is using a comma separated list. Like you do for the “Exclude” field.

Just wondering. You had marked this issue resolved.

I was waiting to buy the add-on. If it was not for that I would not even have mentioned the request a second time. I’m not one to complain about something offered for free, but because you are charging for the add-on I would want it to work without having to hack it (even though you are charging a fair price).

I just thought it would be an easy fix that should not effect any current operating plugins. I may have been the first user to have the amount of members/tags to pinpoint the issue. However that does not mean it is not taxing the servers of others to something less than a breaking point without them knowing.

So after downloading your new update I’m guessing you have no plans on fixing this?

I have seen plugins that use something like infinite scrolling to load items in a dropdown. However if you have thousands of users, tags, etc. it may be a pain to load them all to find the one you want.

Another choice would be to just query those that have permissions to post (authors, admins, etc.). We only have about a dozen of those.

Having said that, I think you should just keep it simple by using a comma separated list. Like you do for the “Exclude” field.

It wasn’t the tags (although that didn’t help) it was the authors. We have over 50,000 members that it was trying to load in that drop-down. After removing it from the shortcode-builder.php (lines 208 – 226) the error went away.

The cause of this error is because we have over 5000 posts and over 7000 tags. Your plugin is trying to load all the tags in the drop-down menu in the options page. Even people with a couple hundred tags could get this error, depending on their server.

You need to add “lazy loading” for the tag list. So it only loads 20 or so at a time. Or better yet, loose the drop-down and just use a text field that will take a comma separated list of tags.

If you have a solution to this issue I will gladly buy you extensions.

Still broken. I don’t think this was designed for scale. We have 5000+ posts.

I just tried again and got this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 78 bytes) in …/wp-includes/cache.php on line 569

I also tried your updated class-meta.php you posted in another thread with no luck.

This is not a lack of memory issue. This is a problem with your plugin. I have received several other error messages when trying to activate it. The errors change as a result of the bottleneck your plugin causes and whatever is being loaded after it.

My guess is this is an error in the way you are caching oembed objects.

BTW It has been tested with several themes include WP default and of course all other plugins disabled.

Works great!

PS
If you get a 404 go to /wp-admin/options-permalink.php and hit save to refresh the permalinks. ??

When I tried it now I got this error:

“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in …./wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2279”

Does this plugin load taxonomies or member/author lists?

Sorry, yes 2.0.3.

I don’t remember the version number before that. I’m guessing it was 4 or 5 months ago I first installed it. I’m using WP 3.9.2

I’m sorry, yes wrong plugin.

Sent €20.00. It’s not much but maybe you can buy a round of drinks on me. ??

PS
Google Search would be a good addition.
