plug in errors. please help!

[bvsParticipant]

hello!

i am having issues with posts not being rendered. it happens when i show 6 or more related posts. i want to have at least 16+ as you show in your preview 😀

i can’t replicate it all the time but my site has lost a tremendous amount of hits after installing this plugin. unfortunately i was unaware of it until after ~2-3 days.

anyway, i have attached an image of a post that worked and another that failed with related posts –

any help is appreciated as i am losing hits.

thank you.

Hi!

Could you please re-open your ticket with proper product key or attach your product key to your next post in a text document? I can only help tickets with confirmed purchase keys. (some people with pirate versions had abused the support unfortunately)

As for the issue. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to reproduce this issue on my servers. Do you have a development copy of your site, which I could access on the same server? I think that would be the fastest way of solving the problem, as I could see it happening.

That is a license code for a different item, Advanced Social and Menu Bar and not Related Posts Pro. Please submit the one you got for Related Posts Pro. Thank you.

Thanks, now it’s fine!

Okay, all I can see right now from the page source, that the HTML is rendered until the beginning of the post content then it stops. And there is also a hidden message at the end of the site code which tells, that HTML is corrupted. Are you using some kind of html minification or caching plugin? Maybe it sopts with page rendering because there is a syntax error somewhere, or some kind of unstripped html inside the related content, I’m not sure.

First you should try to deactivate the caching or html minifying plugin temporary and see if it works then, or if it’s throwing any kind of errors or if there is some kind of funny unfinished code.

If it’s going to work with caching disabled, then maybe I can catch the error in the output.

Also, by default the HTML is not removed from the content, which can cause such issues I think. Try to change the formatting options as it is on the following screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/rrZxYVh.png
Then save the options, empty the cache and refresh the page a few times.
This way unfinished content from shortcodes or remaining html tags will get stripped correctly and might fix the problem.

ok, i updated as per your image.

also, the cache and gzip plugins are now off.

a bit of history; i was getting a ton of emails with this issue so i installed those but later realized if i turned off related posts it worked fine.

aslo, i increased the number so we make sure we get the autoplay etc working.

please let me know if you need anything else… 😀

I think I might figured out the problem. If you have more than 6 items, then the pagination is used. The pagination icons are svg vectorgraphic images, which have a xml type of declaration included as well. Maybe that is confusing the cache plugin, since it’s unusual.

Anyways, I removed the unnecessary xml declaration codes and zipped the img folder and attached to this post. Please unzip this file to a folder in your computer and copy it’s contents to your servers wp-content/plugins/related-posts-pro/img/ folder and overwrite all the files with the new ones in that directory.

Then refresh the page a few times, enable the caching and gzip plugin, clear the cache a few times and hopefully it will work.
