 * I’m interested in this plugin but read the issues of white screen of death. When
   is the update for that coming?

 * Some people use old version of WordPress, another people have old version of 
   Php installed. But this plugin is not perfect, so there are times when the entered
   custom code causes the error and white screen. If this happened with you then
   do the following.
 * Your code stored in the Database of your web-site. For getting your code, you
   can go to the **Database —> Table “wp_options” —> Option “anarcho_cfunctions_settings”—
   > “option_value”**.
 * Or you can use the FTP method, for access to plugin’s settings page. Go to plugin’s
   folder (in **wp-content/plugins/**). Open **“my-custom-functions.php”** file.
   Find this line of code: **“anarcho_cfunctions_exec();”** and comment it by placing
   two slashes (** //** ) in beginning. Then you can go to plugin’s settings page
   and edit your entered custom code. After editing, just delete two slashes which
   you written before.

 * Thanks, yeah I read that in some previous threads. But isn’t there a hotfix for
   this in the next update (or) is that not feasible for some reason?
    Thanks,

 * I just got this white screen and I have no idea how to fix it. Can you provide
   some type of tutorial. I am a beginner and do not understand what you are telling
   us to do. Can you write it out step by step and be as specific as possible.
 * what do you mean by comment it?
 * I have no idea how to get into the plug in settings?
 * this is very stressful, if you do not understand coding.

 * Hi Sondra,
 * In the file `my-custom-functions.php` find the line 153 with the following code:
 *     ```
       MCFunctions_exec();
       ```
   
 * And replace it with this:
 *     ```
       //MCFunctions_exec();
       ```
   
 * After that your website will work. Do needed changes in the code that you added
   on settings page of my plugin and then restore the line 153 (delete two slashes)
   in the file `my-custom-functions.php`.
 * Regards,
    Arthur

 * whew…ok I got my site back to normal.
 * All I was originally trying to do was minimize the excerpt length of my posts,
   do you by change know how to do this? It used to only show about 30 words which
   I liked very much, but now it shows a lot more and I canot figure out how to 
   fix it =(

 * I’m glad that the problem is solved 🙂
 * In order to limit an excerpt length try the following code:
 *     ```
       /* Change Excerpt length */
       function mycustom_excerpt_length($length) {
       	return 30;
       }
       add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘mycustom_excerpt_length’, 999 );
       ```

 * This code must work. Maybe you have installed a theme that uses not standart 
   method for displaying the excerpts of posts. You need to contact with author 
   of theme that you use.
