Pages with embedded code timing out (code embed version 2.3.7)

These are some of the error messages I am getting in the server logs (server specific information removed):

Odd. Let me take a look and I’ll get back to you. For now, stay on the previous release.

Oh, I think I know what this is.

Would you by happy to try testing a fix, if I make one available to you?

Yes of course

Thanks.

Here’s a draft of 2.3.8 – can you try it and let me know if that fixes the problem?

Hi David,

I had this same issue. The draft of 2.3.8 works for me, but only if I add the curly braces. The percent sign doesn’t work. With the percent sign, the timeout is fixed, but the code is not embedded.

Is it possible to have the percent sign again in the official release?

Thank you for your work!

Dang it.

2.3.8 was supposed to fix that – as you’ve noticed, the issue with 2.3.7 was around which characters you used as the identifier. The OP was using percentage and not double braces. The change I made in 2.3.8 should automatically cope with whatever you use.

First of all, can you confirm that when you the percent sign, you’re changing and saving it in the settings, as well as in a post?

Assuming that’s the case, can you confirm what you’re embedding – like the OP, is it a URL?

David,

Thanks for your quick response. I checked the settings. You are correct. Everything is working now. I was mixing curly braces and percent as I thought they would both work.

Thanks for your help!

Phew. Thank goodness for that – for a moment, I thought my fix still hadn’t worked.

@neilt17?– have you been able to try it yet?

I’ve now pushed out 2.3.8 as the latest release.
