Seems to be solved in the latest version. Awesome!

Hey,
I can confirm this bug on a non-English site.
Once you get non-English characters in the excerpt, the whole description content becomes empty (”).

Even if there were other tags in the template (hello %%excerpt%% world), the whole thing gets removed.

It’s only about characters, not site locale. If I set up an English-only page, within my non-English site – everything works fine.

How can we bring this to the attention of the developer?

I Haven’t experienced this problem again so far after adding the following to the .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 64M

And this to wp-config.php:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

Hey Valmariel,

Could you say what was the issue with the host if you know?
I’m having the same issue.

I have the latest version WP (3.2.1) and BackWPup (2.1.3).
Thanks!

I faced the same problem.
Originally, I was going to solve it with this:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-types-and-tag-cloud?replies=8
but that solution seems a bit inefficient because of the need to get each and every post’s tags and then to remove duplicates.

I ended up doing this:

function custom_posts_per_tag($id, $post_type){

	$args = array(
        'post_type' => array($post_type),
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
				'tag_id' => $id
  );

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	wp_reset_query();

	return sizeof($the_query->posts);
}

$tags = get_tags();
global $wp_query;
$post_type = $wp_query->get('post_type');

foreach ($tags as $tag){
	if (custom_posts_per_tag($tag->term_id, $post_type) > 0) {
		/* Print tag link or whatever you wish here */
	}
}

I assume that WP_Query uses a more efficient way to filter posts by tags, than getting each post’s tag, but I might be wrong.

Hey JeffTD, I guess by now you’ve probably found a solution or just decided you’re not going to do things this way.

For the interest of others who might need such a feature, here’s how I implemented it:

// Menu items and corresponding category IDs
		$menu_items_to_categorise = array(10 => 1, 11 => 2, 12 => 3);

		// Get current URL
		$current_url = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? 'https' : 'http') . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

		// Get the WordPress generated menu
		$nav_menu = wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'echo' => 0 ) );

		// Loop through the items to categorise
		foreach ($menu_items_to_categorise as $menu_item_number => $menu_item_cat) {

			// Get the posts for the current menu-item number
			global $post;
			$tmp_post = $post;
			$args = array( 'category' => $menu_item_cat );
			$myposts = get_posts( $args );

			// Create list
			$posts_sub_menu = "\n" . '<ul class="sub-menu">' . "\n";

			// Loop through the posts and append the list entries
			foreach( $myposts as $post ) :
				setup_postdata($post);
				$posts_sub_menu .= '<li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom' . (get_permalink() == $current_url ? ' current-menu-item' : '' ) . '"><a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . "</a></li>\n";
			endforeach;
			$posts_sub_menu .= "</ul>\n";

			// Return to the parent loop so there will be no conflict
			$post = $tmp_post;

			// Inject created list into existing menu
			$pattern = "%(<li [^>]*id=\"menu-item-" . $menu_item_number . "\"[^>]*>.*)(</li>)%mU";
			$replacement = '${1}' . $posts_sub_menu . '$2';
			$nav_menu = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $nav_menu);
		}
		unset($menu_item_number);
		unset($menu_item_cat);
