# Parameter content=yes Causing Internal Server Error

 * I want to display both Title and Content of a Category of Posts in a Page.
 * I am getting an Internal Server Error with the content=yes setting when navigation
   to Page.
 * I have the code in a Page sorted by a custom field.
 * Environment is a managed hosting WordPress site on Godaddy using Customizr theme
   and Page Builder by SiteOrigin plugin on posts.
 * My guess is the Page Builder plugin html is breaking the code? Perhaps there 
   a similar setting such as excerpt_overwrite for content that might solve this?
 * Shortcode:
    `[catlist name=agendas customfield_orderby=page_order order=asc content
   =yes]`
 * The Shortcode works without content=yes setting.
 * Thank you.

 * This is really weird, have you tried deactivating the plugins and see if one 
   of them is causing a conflict?

 * Hi there,
    Same problem here.
 * website fell apart so I did a standard reset on all plugins and themes.
    found
   out the “content=yes” setting makes the page stop working.
 * It doesn’t allow me to save the page and when visiting the site only the header
   is visible.
 * As soon as I take that setting off everything goes back to normal.
 * Sample shortcode I’m using:
    [catlist numberposts=3 exclude_tags=virtual author
   =yes author_class=homeblogauthor author_tag=p title_tag=h2 class=bloghome date
   =yes date_class=virtualdate2 date_tag=p comments=yes comments_tag=p comments_class
   =home_comments]
 * Any advise?

 * Check the content of the posts you’re trying to list. There might be an infinite
   loop there somewhere.
 * One way I found to reproduce this bug is:
    If the shortcode is listing the post
   itself. That way, when you say content=yes, you’re parsing the shortcode inside
   the post again, creating an infinite loop of calls to the post itself parsing
   the shortcode… Do I explain myself?

 * Update:
    The error is: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
   in …\wp-content\plugins\list-category-posts\include\CatList.php on line 422
 * I have the same problem. Before upgrading to 3.8, the content=yes works fine 
   on all my posts. Right after upgrading to 3.8 and at the same time upgrading 
   lcp to the latest version 4.61 (yesterday), I simply cannot save the post and
   eventually it showed sth about server error each time. If I deleted the argument“
   content=yes”, everything is back to normal. For testing purpose, I tried to use
   this argument for displaying only one post from a particular category on an otherwise
   empty post. Still the error. It is either the latest version of lcp or lcp not
   working with wp 3.8. Thanks,
