[Plugin: PodPress] Player doesn't show

Dave,

please install the current Development Version of podPress. (Download the .zip file, extract all the files and sub folders, connect via FTP to your blog, remove the old files and folder of the podPress plugin and upload the new ones.)

This version contains further selftest mechanisms. When you have installed and activated the Development Version go to the general settings page of podPress and watch the section “System Information”. are there any conflicts listed? Or can you see the notice “old meta_key names detected”?

You would help me a lot if you could also answer the questions from my previous posts.

Thank you for your help!

Regards,
Tim

Tim,

To answer your previous post, I am running the latest version of PP, and I cannot explain why the validator is indicating an older version. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin with the same results. I will try installing the Dev version today.

I really appreciate all of your help!!

I’ve discovered the issue, although I don’t know how to resolve it.

Due to some other Buddypress issues, I’ve recently moved my WP install from a sub dir into the root. It seems that while WP is upgrading and installing files in the root directory install, the plugins are still being pulled from the old sub directory.

What happened this weekend was I upgraded to the latest podpress, and while the plugin files were upgraded in the proper install directory (root), WP is still pulling the plugins from the old install.

Now this is a whole new batch of problems …

That would explain also the problems with podPress. podPress 8.8.10 renames the meta_keys podPressPostSpecific and podPressMedia. But if they are renamed, podPress 8.8.9.2 can’t see them anymore and it is like you have not attached a podcast episode with podPress.

A quick fix would probably be installing podPress 8.8.10.1 (or better the Dev Version) in both of your plugin folders.

Done. Turns out there was some code in my index.php calling for the header.php in the old sub dir. That was throwing off everything!

Whew. Thanks again for all your help!

I’m glad that it works now.

There is one little thing: You should control and maybe update the URLs of the RSS and iTunes images.
