    Hello.
    I just installed this plugin on my site and tried to add an external link, but the data of the external link could not be loaded and a 504 (bad gateway) error occurred.
    Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

    I do seem to be experiencing issues as well. Unfortunately I’m on vacation until Tuesday, so I wouldn’t be able to look further into this until then. Let me get back to you if it doesn’t resolve itself by then.

    Hi again,

    Just gave it another try and it worked fine for me now. Are you still experiencing issues?

    I was not aware of the Microlink API tier limits, would it be possible to display a Microlink API reset-timer or count, based on tier, in the plugin?

    @mungbean I would have to check. Not sure what details they provide to us. Will add it to the idea list.

    Thanks!

    An idea would also be able to show the API status in the VLP widget itself. With an external link, after it’s entered and then queried, the remaining fields just remain blank (if the API has be exceeded), and since sometimes it takes a couple seconds or more to get a API reply.

    There can be confusion between whether it’s an API-exceeded issue or just waiting for a reply; so it’d be great to see it there in the widget, when that is the case.
