Having problems updating. Fails when trying from inside the software, and the link in this post does not work. Hmm.

@dan & @ben Guys, no idea what you did — unfortunately, nothing in my CMS works after this update.

Neither images, headlines, no body text are showing up…

It looks like the following frontmatter setup is no longer being recognized:

```auto
headline:
    long: "Organize your photos with ease using these great apps"
    short: "Organize your photos with apps"

It’s even happening with your Appleseed sample blog Ben, all but one of the author names are missing from the posts. Julia seems to be a bit more resilient, but the bot and Jonny are toast 😕

Yes, somewhat better for me now

When I specified ‘Related Items’ … ‘By Tags’ … I was getting poor results

(… could it be ‘by tags’ isn’t implemented fully - or perhaps some of my tags are missing ?)

When I specified ‘Related Items’ … ‘By Author’ … I got better results

(…they are all currently set with me as the author)

How can it be that you can set ‘by tags’ and ‘by author’ at the same time ? … does that even make sense ?

Where there are lots of results for me as author for example - it should randomly pick out 3 posts from total posts

@dan Thanks for your late-night effort and the update.

Under version 1.4.5, my frontmatter setup now seems to be working again — the headline, image, body text, etc. are all being displayed properly.

However, in this version, **no related items** are showing up for me.

For now, I’ll stick with version 1.4.2 of Elements. In that one, everything works except that the **number of related items** isn’t correct.

Maybe you could release another update based on version 1.4.2.

Super, glad to hear that’s working as expected! 😅

I checked your project again, and the reason no related items are appearing is that both “By Tags” and “By Author” are enabled in the Related Items component.

When both options are selected, the component only displays posts that match **both** the same tags **and** the same author. Since your posts don’t have any tags assigned, there are no matches, so nothing is shown.

To fix this, you can either add tags to your posts or simply disable the “By Tags” option in the Related Items settings.

@ben you’re actually right. I had my frontmatter set up without tags. I’ve adjusted it, and now it looks like everything is working as it should.

If I notice any issues, I’ll get back to you.

Hi @jbob

> [@jbob](#):

> **Fatal error** : Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes)

The issue is that your tag markdown files include `tags` themselves, which causes an infinite loop — the CMS keeps trying to attach tags to tags to tags… and eventually runs out of memory.

To fix it, simply remove the `tags` and `categories` properties from all files inside your `tags/{tagname}.md` folder. Once that’s done, everything should work as expected 🙂
