Title: Pages with embedded code timing out (code embed version 2.3.7) Last modified: November 16, 2023 --- # Pages with embedded code timing out (code embed version 2.3.7) * Resolved [neilt17](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neilt17/) * (@neilt17) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/) * With version 2.3.7, pages containing an embedded code do not load and time out. * I am using Code Embed to embed html from urls. For example, in Custom Fields: * Name: CODE:example-page * Value: %https://example.com/example-page.html% * And on the page: * %CODE:example-page% * My WordPress installation is up-to-date (6.4.1-en_GB), as is php (8.1.25). * Rolling back to version 2.3.6 of code embed solves the problem (so the page linked to above works). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [neilt17](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neilt17/) * (@neilt17) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17206146) * These are some of the error messages I am getting in the server logs (server specific information removed): * ```wp-block-code [Thu Nov 16 08:41:33.583151 2023] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /wp-includes/class-wp-object-cache.php on line 180' [Thu Nov 16 08:44:22.021145 2023] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /wp-includes/link-template.php on line 3908', referer: [Thu Nov 16 08:44:32.287800 2023] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /wp-includes/kses.php on line 1819', referer: [Thu Nov 16 08:46:31.190082 2023] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /wp-includes/option.php on line 638', referer: [Thu Nov 16 08:47:22.591823 2023] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /wp-includes/pomo/translations.php on line 108', referer: ``` * Plugin Author [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17206175) * Odd. Let me take a look and I’ll get back to you. For now, stay on the previous release. - This reply was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/). * Plugin Author [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17206206) * Oh, I think I know what this is. * Would you by happy to try testing a fix, if I make one available to you? * Thread Starter [neilt17](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neilt17/) * (@neilt17) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17207474) * Yes of course * Plugin Author [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17208074) * Thanks. * [Here’s a draft of 2.3.8](https://github.com/dartiss/code-embed/releases/tag/2.3.8)– can you try it and let me know if that fixes the problem? * [jeffkitson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffkitson/) * (@jeffkitson) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17211957) * Hi David, * I had this same issue. The draft of 2.3.8 works for me, but only if I add the curly braces. The percent sign doesn’t work. With the percent sign, the timeout is fixed, but the code is not embedded. * Is it possible to have the percent sign again in the official release? * Thank you for your work! * Plugin Author [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17212100) * Dang it. * 2.3.8 was supposed to fix that – as you’ve noticed, the issue with 2.3.7 was around which characters you used as the identifier. The OP was using percentage and not double braces. The change I made in 2.3.8 should automatically cope with whatever you use. * First of all, can you confirm that when you the percent sign, you’re changing and saving it in the settings, as well as in a post? * Assuming that’s the case, can you confirm what you’re embedding – like the OP, is it a URL? * [jeffkitson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffkitson/) * (@jeffkitson) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17212551) * David, * Thanks for your quick response. I checked the settings. You are correct. Everything is working now. I was mixing curly braces and percent as I thought they would both work. * Thanks for your help! * Plugin Author [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17212771) * Phew. Thank goodness for that – for a moment, I thought my fix still hadn’t worked. * @[neilt17](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neilt17/) – have you been able to try it yet? * Plugin Author [David Artiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/) * (@dartiss) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-with-embedded-code-timing-out-code-embed-version-2-3-7/#post-17219347) * I’ve now pushed out 2.3.8 as the latest release.
