 * this plugin looks great.
    I am having an issue when using a template in the display
   parameter.I have a custom post type that has got very few fields in it. It works
   fine on the other display types (title, all etc). However when I try to use a
   template it gives me the following error:
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded…
 * The template has nothing but a helloworld print statement in it (just as a test)
   so it shoudn’t be getting caught in any type of infinite loop.
 * Any help or explanation as to what I need to do would be great. Thanks.

 * Did you ever get this figured out? The only time I’ve seen that error is when
   there’s an infinite loop in the embedding (like page A includes an insert page
   shortcode that embeds page B, but page B includes a shortcode that embeds page
   A).

 * I am getting the same error any time I attempt to use a custom template file.
   I have placed the file in my theme, it works as a standalone template, and the
   theme is a child theme that otherwise works fine.
