    Just updated the plugin and random content no longer works. Doesn’t show up at all in the footer in either place. Content and groups are still there though. Been working for years until now.

    Hi there, thanks for reporting this! We have identified the issue. Version 1.6.0 introduced AJAX-based content loading to improve compatibility with page caching, but it had a bug that affected sites using plain (non-pretty) permalinks.

    We’ve just released version 1.6.1 which fixes this. If you update to 1.6.1, your random content should start showing again immediately.

    Sorry for the trouble, and let us know if you have any issues after updating!

    That fixed it. Thank you sir. Very much.

    I have enjoyed this plugin for at least 10 years, which is really amazing when I think about it. Thank you!

    I also have a problem since the recent update.
    I narrowed it down to the “random content” plugin by turning all of my plugins off and turning them on one-by-one. My homepage goes down when I turn it on, and comes back online when I turn it off.
    I’m using this plugin on my homepage, which may be an edge case if you’re focused on permalinks and slugs.
    I’m using Version 1.6.2 of the plugin.
    I tried it using wordpress 6.8.3 and 6.9.1

    The fatal errors that I’ve been getting on my site refer to memory usage.
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24576 bytes) in /nas/content/live/site/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 490

    Let me know what other information I could provide to be helpful.

    Thanks for the detailed report @georgeinmexico . Please update to 1.6.3 and the memory issue should be resolved. Let me know if you run into anything else.
