 * Hi Daniel
    Thanks for your excellent plugin. I tried using it but as soon as 
   I activate it and try to use shortcode start seeing Fatal error: Allowed memory
   size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 135168 bytes) in /home/losmnguj/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/a-z-listing/src/Query.php on line 567
 * Any suggestions?
    thanks!!

 * Hi,
 * I suspect you have a large number of posts returned by your chosen shortcode,
   which is leading to PHP hitting the memory limit defined by your server. There’s
   no way to prevent hitting the memory limit other than reducing the scope of your
   listing to return fewer posts. I plan to improve this in a future version but
   it needs the whole plugin to be redesigned to implement it, so it will take some
   time.

 * I also got that error, using php in a-z-listing.php. Less than 300 posts.
