crp_title is empty after update to 3.1.0

This error is different from this topic. It means the FULLTEXT indexes are missing. You can try to regenerate this by hitting the Tools link in the header of the settings page and the corresponding button.
But, the reason it is missing is also could be that your host doesn’t allow these types of indices and likely don’t like related posts plugins like mine. Two hosts I am aware of who don’t let this plugin get installed are WP Engine and Godaddy. Not sure if they changed their rules.

I don’t think it has to do with the hoster. This error appears only with version 3.1.0. With 3.0.7, as I said, Query Monitor does not detect any problems. I have been using the plug-in for many years in my WordPress installation and there have never been any problems. Even right now 3.0.7 works fine.

Thank you very much for the hint: Recreating the indices on the Tools page did the job. Version 3.1.0 is working fine now.

Thank you for confirming this!

Titles are just returning empty for me as well. I have this issue a couple of months now after updating to 3.1.0 but I need to do something as the issue does not fix itself. Recreating the indices on the Tools page did not resolve the issue. I checked the settings, clear CRP cache, clear some other caches, disabled some plugins.

Note: I use text only mode, no thumbnails. Only title is not showing but excerpt is showing. The title is in a URL frame. The URL frame is working (is clickable). The problem is that we do not have a text for the title. The TEXT content of the title is not generated!

This is the returned HTML:
<span class="crp_title"></span>

Update: I found an option for title length under Output tab that was set to 0 . That’s strange! OK so the issue is that we now have to set a character number limit for title length. We do not have an option to just display the full title regardless of its length. I suppose we can use a large number like 500 to get there. It works now!

It is however desirable to be able to set -1 for full title length.

That’s the solution. There is a bug in the implementation where the code should return the original string but returns a blank one. Will be fixed in the next version.

0 for full title length makes sense as you won’t have 0 characters.
