Closing this one out.

Yeah, I just had a developer buddy of mine take a look. He found the code in the plugin that was messing up because of the Libsyn shut down.

Hugh – I figured you might want to see this for future reference, even though this was an extenuating circumstance.

This was the code my friend worked with.

public function get_file_size( $file = false ) {
		if( $file ) {
			$data = wp_remote_head( $file );
			if( isset( $data['headers']['content-length'] ) ) {
				$raw = $data['headers']['content-length'];
				$formatted = $this->format_bytes( $raw );
				$size = array(
					'raw' => $raw,
					'formatted' => $formatted
				);
				return $size;
			}
		}
		return false;
	}

He said the “if( isset” line was looking the raw file and when it couldn’t find it repeatedly, it gave up.

I’m sure you probably know this already, but I figured I’d share just in case.

Thanks for your help BmGhDZ9k

Ok, well Libsyn is back up and running, but the site is still having problems. Any other thoughts?

Actually I think Libsyn is the problem. I just did a test post and instead of pointing to a file, I loaded one up directly to my server and it seems to be working.

Libsyn is the likely suspect, but we’ll see as soon as they ramp back up.

Another side note. Libsyn.com seems to be having major issues today, and since all my files are loaded there, maybe the connectivity between the files and the plugin is causing an error? I’m so not tech enough to make that judgement, but it’s the only other outside influence I can think of.

Did that too, still didn’t have any effect.

Sidenote, my entire podcast is down right now, not publishing to iTunes at all.

I can’t imagine what you’re saying to be true since the only posts that are effected are the podcast posts, not my regular blog posts, but I did what you suggested.

I shut down all the plugins and it had no effect. Also tried a new theme and that didn’t solve it either. So, I found the error log file, and here’s the link to the Pastebin.

Thanks.

Awesome, thanks Hugh. Having the Mv4 version wasn’t an imperative, so I can hold out until it’s ready.

Actually, scratch the links for the time being. They are still live, but until I get this worked out, I’m switching back to mp3. Still need the insider info though.

Thanks,

Dave

I don’t know if this is truly related or not, but I was having the same problem. I wasn’t using the WP Amazon plugin, but I did still have the Automatic Upgrade plugin activated, which might have been a conflict with WP’s new automatic upgrade feature. I disabled the plugin and it seems to be working fairly well.

Supposedly it has something to do with Flash Player v.10, but I even downgraded to v.9 and I’m still having the problem. Mine didn’t show up until WP2.7

Thanks Jeremiah. I did what you did and it seems to be working. Hopefully it will maintain.

Seriously, who do I have to kill to get an answer to this? I just want to switch from the Advanced editor back to the regular tiny mice editor. Can I get a little help on this one? It’s killing my workflow.

Doodlebee, thanks, but that’s actually the opposite of what I want to achieve. I want the archive to stay black and want the clickable post headers to be black as well.

Basically I think there is too much blue on my page. I’m trying to break up the page a bit by adding some black to all the post titles. Know what I mean?
