Page on website is no longer functioning, can't figure out why

  • Note: a friend set my website up years ago, so this is probably a very stupid question. My website is https://www.opticalsloth.com and I review small press comics. I have a page called “Reviews” that normally has an alphabetical listing of the reviews listed by author. Here’s the code on the page:
    [catlist name=Reviews orderby=title order=ASC numberposts=-1]

    This is now the message that pops up when anybody tries to look at this page. I have 3,450 reviews at the moment and the only way people can find them is by using the search bar, so… is there a simple fix for this? I scrolled through the forums and didn’t see anything like this listed but, again, my knowledge of setting up and maintaining a website is minimal. Thanks for any help you can give!

  • Have you tried:
    -deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    Hi opticalslothy,
    “[catlist name=Reviews orderby=title order=ASC numberposts=-1]” is shortcode of a plugin “List category posts” can you go to plugins section and check is this plugin in installed and activated.

    I hope it will work.

    Hi pressdr, I activated that plugin and it at least changed the error message:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/kbramer/opticalsloth.com/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2038 – See more at: https://www.opticalsloth.com/?page_id=3551#sthash.0d50KU5c.dpuf

    Do I just have too many reviews on this one page? Would I be better off breaking them down into groups? Thanks!

    Ways to increase memory.
    1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
    If your line shows 32M try 64M. If your line shows 64M try 128M
    memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

    2. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
    php_value memory_limit 64M

    3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
    Increasing memory allocated to PHP
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    4. Talk to your host.
