Inserting episode file URL breaks Episode page

Hi @gfugedi

I’d like to try and recreate this.

When you say that the episode page returns a fatal error message, is it the post editor page from the dashboard returning the error or the front-end episode page?

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately the answer is both: if I insert the mp3 link, the front-end episode page says “A fatal error occurred on our webpage”, and when I try to access the post from the admin panel, it returns a similar message (‘A serious error has occurred on our website. Check the mailbox for the admin email address for details.’ – the text is in Hungarian, I just translated it).

Basically, once I published a new episode with the .mp3 link, I cannot edit the post anymore, since the editor page is also broken. (However, I can access the previous posts, the error only occurred a couple weeks ago.)

P.s.: the link I provided above shows an episode post without an .mp3 link – of course, this way the player doesn’t work.

Hi @gfugedi

So far I am unable to recreate this. What version of WordPress are you running? If you roll back the plugin to 2.13, does everything work appropriately again?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-rollback/ is a great plugin to use to rollback versions of a plugin.

Dear Kelly,

Thanks for getting back to me again. I did roll back to 2.13, and the error still exists – which means I have to look elsewhere to find the problem… At least it shows that the error isn’t in the podcasting template after all. I am grateful for your suggestions and time – I think now I have to consult with a programmer to find the source of the error…

Anyway, I’m sincerely thankful for your reply; I’ll keep looking…
Have a great summer, all the best,
Greg

Dear Kelly!

I’m sorry to bring up this question again, but I may found another angle at the problem: it seems like the error occurs every time I try to insert an episode link containing a longer episode than 110 minutes (1 hour and 50 minutes).

You wrote you were unable to reproduce the problem – did you try to insert a link with any podcast episode that exceeds the length I wrote above?

Since your earlier reply I did the plugin version rollback – but the page consistently breaks with three episodes we have, and these two are the only ones longer than 110 minutes.

Could you check if the following two links works? ??

I’m clueless why the plugin works with every other episode links, except these…

Thank you very much in advance!
All the best,
Greg
