Try turning off javascript mode. The html in the headline is because while in javascript mode the plugin generates an html tag that is dynamically replaced.

Hi –

The first thing to do if your site is using caching is to make sure you are in javascript mode. This is usually the problem if the statistics are not coming through. Otherwise, there is probably something incompatible with the way your theme is accessing the titles but I can’t know unless I look.

If switching to javascript mode in the settings doesn’t work, feel free to email me at jason at wpexperiments.com.

I responded yesterday. Did you not receive it?

Your coworker emailed me and I just responded via email. Thanks.

I figured out the issue. Another plugin (seriously-simple-podcasting) updated their version of aws sdk and was replacing the one used by your library… which broke it.

Ah, @mattcholawo, you figured out my problem. I am having the same issues and couldn’t figure out why.

Hm… I’m not sure then. Let me know if it keeps happening.

I’ve heard of this problem but I have not figured the cause. My best guess is a plugin conflict… or it may be something as simple as hitting the publish/update button twice?

Are you able to reproduce it consistently? Every time you save the post they get doubled?

Hey Josh –

There wasn’t an easy way to do that so I added in a way and published version 8.8.

Version 8.8 adds two helper methods:

• titleex_disable()
• titleex_enable()

These instruct the plugin to not do the experiments. To use it simply do:


<?php
titleex_disable();
///////////
// GENERATE NEWSLETTER HTML LIKE NORMAL
////////////
titlex_enable();


I hope that helps!

Hey Josh –
Sorry I didn’t understand the first time! Yes, what you are doing is the right way to fix it.

How are you loading the pages via ajax? Does WordPress have a built in way to do that? If so, I may be able to work around the problem by detecting that it’s happening and returning the title instead of the (blank) placeholder.

Hey Josh –

I’m not quite sure what you mean. They shouldn’t have to be refreshed. Were they showing up blank prior to updating them?

What? What do you mean that it overloaded your site with too many processes?

The only thing that could have done it was if you had a lot of traffic and you had the plugin set to recalculate the statistics on every run (which is not necessary for using the plugin.)

The plugin works very well for other people with plenty of traffic. It’s perfectly safe to use. If you had a problem, you should ask and I would help you to fix it. Simply giving a 1 star review and warning everything to not use it is unprofessional.

Thanks, but this isn’t enough information to figure out what is going on. I need more specifics.

Weird… Do you have any more details? Were there any specific error messages or anything? I haven’t heard of anyone else having that type of problem.

I don’t have an api exposed to do that. I only support manually doing it from the post editor. You are welcome to check out the plugin code to see how it works and see if you can figure something out.
