Thanks, David.
Yes, this would be consistent with the number of pages viewed daily by real users and search engines. I’m guessing that the plugin is creating a ~3KB mySQL record for each of 10,000 pages on my site (with an option_name something like: %_transient_timeout_asb_%)

From your plugin description, the default is for cached entries to last 24 hours.
I will therefore modify my code to add a cache=false statement, and then confirm that the cache has been cleared.

PS This is one of the very best social media plugins—unlike many of the others that create a crippling delay in page load time! Thanks for your work.

Sorry — too brief.

1. Create a shortlink such as [post_list name=”junk1″] and paste it into a page.
2. Delete the shortlink from within admin, or accidentally place the shortlink [post_list name=”junk2″] on a page.
3. Result when viewing the page output: I get a 500 server error.

This is not a “flaw”. However, a more elegant solution would be for WP simply to to ignore any shortcodes that do not exist. A couple of examples of shortcode plugins that have this functionality are Global Content Blocks and Get Custom Field Values.

PS I appreciate this plugin—it’s very versatile for things in addition to “post lists”.

The sidebar widget displays on pages with the appropriate text in the custom field, but there is an additional error message shown within the widget output:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mydirectory/public_html/mydomain/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-field-widget/adv-custom-field-widget.php(566) : eval()’d code on line 1

This shows up with shortcodes generated by such plugins as “Shortcodes Ultimate” or “Postcontent in Shortcodes”, for example. The error message is the same, regardless of the particular shortcode used. (WP 3.2.1, ACFW version 0.9.9). Thanks!
