On a 12,000-page site running on a Hostgator Business Plan I see this occasionally. More recently, HG has shut down all my sites for a period of one hour (not sure if this preventive or punitive). I have had no problems since I deactivated the BLC plugin.

Perhaps there is a way to throttle back the load that the plugin imposes on the server?

Thanks, Donncha, I’ll try this, too.
Forgive my lack of technical expertise, but I got the impression that you were deprecating the use of mfunc in your upcoming versions. If so, then finding alternatives to other plugins which rely on mfunc becomes critical to some of us.

This sounds like a conflict with the Ad Injection plugin.
Donncha is working on a new version of WPSC to address the need for dynamic content on cached pages (thanks, Donncha, you are a marvel, and deserve to be paid handsomely by the hosting companies for all the wasted computer cycles you have saved!).
In the mean time, until we see how this works out, I have found that the “Ads by datafeedr.com” plugin is an excellent alternative for displaying dynamic ads, since it relies on Javascript rather than mfunc (based on my admittedly limited technical knowledge).

Searching for an alternative to the Ad Injection plugin, I found “Ads by datafeedr.com” which offers a Javascript option for creating dynamic content. It is user-friendly for the non-expert.

Confirmation: had same problem with disappearing content.

Also traced it to a conflict with the Ad Injection plugin which relies on mfunc for dynamic content.

Found exactly the same conflict with the new version of WP Super Cache (V 1.3.2). Terrible shame, since Ad Injection is such a great plugin.

Works fine in WP 3.5 for me.

I note that the plugin hasn’t been updated for a long while: I hope it continues to work in future WP versions, because I find it one of simplest and most user-friendly SEO plugins.

bottleneck,

After installing the plugin for the first time time, and viewing my HG useage in the dashboard, I hit a CPU value in the “high” to “very high” zone. This then dropped after a while. No actual issues, though, just FYI, since you asked.

There was a big spike in server load when I first installed on a site with 10,000 pages. This was in the “warning zone” for my hosting company (Hostgator)—so it makes sense to monitor this.

Now that the plugin is running continuously, there is not further issue.

Thanks for helping me clear up this glitch with this excellent plugin!

Yes,
All the entries I am referring to include _asb_ in the option_name and half of these have “Artiss” in the option_value.
My main question is whether these might affect the performance of the site in any way, so that I can decide whether to delete them.
THX, Peter

David,
Yes, your suggested code now prevents the proliferation of new entries in the options table.

There are, however, about 25,000 old entries in the table: should I delete these, and if so, how? THX.

OK. THX.

Sorry, I don’t how to actively “clear” the cache.
I am not using youtube, just four social media buttons+email button.

All I did was add the cache=false statement to the line of php code in my template. This is the only place I use the social_bookmarks code. It is placed above and below the loop:

<?php echo social_bookmarks( 'default=off&facebook=on&twitter=on&googleplus=on&pinterest=on&email=on&iconfolder=xmyfoldernamex&cache=false&target=_new' ); ?>

THX, Peter.

David,
I edited my template to add the cache=false statement yesterday, but today the cache does not seem to have cleared, and there are thousands of additional lines in my option table, generated by the ASB plugin.
I tried manually loading a single page in my browser several times, but none of the new lines in the database corresponded to this page (are these database entries just coming from search engine crawling?).
I am also running WP Super Cache, just in case this makes any differences.

Any ideas how I could troubleshoot? THX.
