Thank you for your help with Related Post Shortcode. After a somewhat painful debugging session it seems that my problem was not in the plugin itself. Looks like I was running out of memory in wp-db.php when the plugin called query_posts() or get_posts(). I increased WP_MEMORY_LIMIT from96M to 256M and that fixed the problem. I consider the matter resolved but if there is any other information you’d like I’ll provide it.

While perhaps moot at this point, there were some errors is the javascript console. I didn’t copy them and I can go back and change my config to get them if you still want to see them but the error was because$filtered was null in related-post-shortcode.php when I ran out of memory so posts was null when the JS code in rps-popin.html runs and posts.length was invalid.

       function updatePostsList (posts){
          var options = "";
          for (var i = 0; i < posts.length; i++) {
            options += '<li data-value="'+posts[i].value+'">'+posts[i].text+'</li>';
          }
          $("#rps-list", context).html(options).find('li').on('click', function () ...

I tried the 1.1 update which did not solve the problem. I suspect that the problem is my database, but I don’t no why yet. No one else has reported a problem either but at least my issue is documented here in case someone else comes looking.

I’ll try to debug this further today.

I see you just published 1.2 so I’ll give that a try right now too.

You are really quick! :-). Yes. I’ll try it.

The show_posts confusion was from my original comment. It is showpost. I tried changing it to posts_per_page last week and it didn’t make a difference.

Somewhat off topic, I was also looking into using get_posts() as opposed to query_posts() with numberposts as an argument. The documentation says query_posts alters the main loop but I don’t really understand the context differences between get_posts and query_posts. At some point I thought I’d look at the code that the insert link button as the popup as a similar functionality.

Thank you for your support. I’ll post again after I try a few more things.

Sorry I missed your earlier reply. I am still having a problem. I did some poking at the plugin code and had found that by changing showposts from -1 to one less than the number of posts I have makes the problem go away.

I only have this problem with of my sites though. I’ll try your recommendation today

Thanks

Thanks. Let me know if you need any more info. The plug in is still working on my other sites, it just stopped on the one I use the most ??
