[Plugin: Yet Another Related Posts Plugin] RSS bug report

Hmm, interesting. The issue is that computing these results on the fly in the RSS takes time, particularly if there are multiple in the feed that don’t have cached results. If they’re previously displayed on the posts as well, then it’ll compute them one at a time and then cache the results.

I would suggest displaying the related posts on the posts as well. If you don’t want to actually show them there, just wrap the call to <?php related_posts(); ?> in an HTML comment, or use CSS to hide it.

I’ll think about whether there’s a better solution to this, but that’s what I’d recommend.

Yea, it’s a little different alright.

Full credit to you for your replies, and in keeping this plugin up to date.

Also for being one of the very few Social plugin authors that support RSS feeds that work.

I activated both RSS and posts, and it’s working again. I’ll try the CSS method.

Showing through on RSS sounds like a small thing, but it really can be very important if you have a large subscriber base. So well done again for keeping this working on the plugin.

here’s hoping you make a social sharing plugin one day too ??

Any plans to allow easy tracking of clicks on YARPP?

I don’t have any click tracking in the bundled templates, but it shouldn’t be too hard to modify one of the custom templates so that it adds a Google Analytics campaign code or somesuch, or even replaces the links with some JavaScript that pings some service. This should all be possible.
