 * This should be resolved now. I believe the issue here was attempting to pull 
   in post content when using a post ID which is nonexistent.
 * I’ve pushed v1.1.0 and the issue should be fixed. Can you confirm? Thanks!

 * I just downloaded and attempted to install 1.1, got the same error but it points
   to line 534.
 * Lines 533, 534 are:
 *  `// Get our link title
    $title = $title ? : get_the_title( $id );`
 * I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks!

 * hey jlavik,
 * could you change that line to `$title = ( $title ) ? $title : get_the_title( 
   $id );` and let us know if that resolves the issue? It should but I’d love to
   confirm. If it does, we’ll get the same change committed to the plugin and updated.

 * I’ve pushed a fix for this, so we should be good to go with version 1.1.1.
 * Thanks for the additional help here, Michael!
