Dear @ajay dear @marcomwd,

thx a lot! It works like a charm! A huge thank you for looking into the issue! After coming down from holiday I’ll make sure to support! This has always been a great plugin! Greetings from Chile!

Hello Ajay,

I made the screen shots and had a deeper look into the problem! Activating the plugin is possible as long as I do not put the widget in the sidebar. I can actually display the number of views by php in the posts, it′s possible, as you see in the posts: dschilepodcast.cl. As soon as I put the widget online, it throws a critical error. I use the most recent versions of Astra and Spectra!
I uploaded the images here!

I also excluded any other plugin, if you need anything else just let me know, I could also give you backend credentials!
Greetings from Chile!

Ajay,

I will drop you the screenshots as soon as I am home again. Actually, I deleted the widget from sidebar, but the critical error remains in content area. I will keep you up to date! Cheers from Chile!

Adding shortly: after trying the recent (today’s) Top Ten update, output behavior stays the same (extreme padding/ margin) on post format (where the widgets are active in sidebar), but also a critical error is being thrown out in the content area where the content should be displayed.

Hi there! I have the exact same problem and cannot figure out a solution! Would you be so kind to share your insights if and how you were able to solve it? Greetings from Chile!

Hi there, dear Castos Team! As I saw that another user had the same problem and it appears to be solved…? Is this in any way related to the Castos problem?! Cheers!

Dear Kelly,

thanks so much for pointing out the problem. I would no have been able to tell this.
I tried to display the same information that you fetched in the screenshot, did you use the console or how were you able to display the mp3 headers.

I use hardly any plugin only elementor on the wp install. No caching plugin or media optimizer installed. I really do not know how three or four posts would be any different than the rest…that is really strange.

Do you think I could somehow enforce a mimetype for any mp3 in the plugins feed by any chance so that I would avoid this behavior from the very start? I thought about htaccess rules or some hook into the plugins generated feed to modify the podcast feed…or is it hopeless?

I would really love to complete the podcast on spotify.

Have a great day and thank you!

Saludos de Chile

Micha

It′s me again!

It is either my server, the plugin Castos or my theme (episody)…but the problem was being German Umlaute (?, ?.ü) written in the file names. Before the last updates they worked for months though, after that they stopped working. I renamed all the files and it works again! Sorry to having bothered you! This might become an issue for someone later though…at least German speaking podcasters…:-)!

Saludos desde Chile! And thx for the great plugin!

Just an addon, it is getting even weirder: when copying the source file url from the player in the code from one of the page not working, it leads to the blog page in wordpress. Might there be a conflict of the latest plugin with elementor? Unfortunately I am no expert in the field. It happens on all episodes published before that last update, for example here:
https://dschilepodcast.cl/mint-nachwuchs-aus-chile-nach-deutschland/.
On two episodes I published the other days after the update it did not happen. Though the media urls in the source code have the exact same structure they lead to the audio files and play in the browser. For example this one: https://dschilepodcast.cl/deutsche-bildung-chile-1909/

I am not too sure if I would have to delete all my past episode posts and start all over?!?! Or is this an actual bug?

Saludos!

Michael

Dear Eric,

thanks a lot and for getting back to me!
I tried with and without Curling activated but unfortunately the player gets stuck with “Es konnten keine Audio Dateien vom Server geladen werden. Entweder du hast gerade keine Verbindung zum Internet oder die Dateien sind nicht auf dem Server verfügbar.”

So far, I also ruled out my caching plugin by totally deactivating it. I also did several reinstalls of Podlove with and without the extra player. I tried different folders on my WordPress install, I triple checked the file which in deed is available in browser! I also gave rights 777 to the file in order rto check whether its an access rights problem but I can′t get any file to play.

In the pod template everything is fine, green light and all files recognized.
I am still not giving in, I have posted this problem in your other forum! I will also try your German forum, I guess it is something very basic but I get stuck :-)!

Saludos!

Jory,

the shortcode I call is

[pods name="buch" template="Widget" limit="3" orderby="post_date DESC"]

My cpt is book and the template from above is a pods template created in the pods backend named “Widget”.

I am also fiddling around but unfortunately without success! Thx a lot for your insights!!!

By the way, I am calling this pods template via a pods shortcode in my template file…it wouldn′t have something to do with this? Would I have to somehow register the each-loop in my functions.php?!?!?
Cheers!

Jory,

cheers! Actually, @autor is a custom field of the CPT, not the actual post author. @permanlink is much better, thank you!

This error unfortunately is still persistent, but only when adding the each-tag.

The strange thing is, I get one error “Pod not found/ add template” for each category assigned to he cpt, that mean, if my book (cpt) is assigned to 4 categories I have 4 errors displayed…it seems to count something, but not know what to display…

Cheers!!!!
Michael

Yes, actually I have it just inside a pods template…
it also seems to count the actual categories…but it actually does not really display them, just the error to “please provide…” for each category/ tag assigned to the CPT.

The code in my pod template is the following right now, I know the page for each-loop…actually I played around with the code a lot…it seems to count the elements for categories or tags…but somehow can′t read the values from the data base…?!

Cheers!

Hey Jory,

thx so much, this sounds promising, at the moment it gives me a
“Please provide either a template or field name” instead of each category by inserting

[each category]<a href="{@permalink}">{@title}</a>[each]

into my Pds template.

It′s a little head-itching as I am already inside my pods template. Am I missing something? Is that because I use the wordpress post categories and tags with my CPT? I have everything enabled in the backend of the CPT though!

Cheers and thx a lot for your dedication, I read a lot through your material here!
