Okay, I solved it!

As usual, what I thought was the problem was really a symptom of something else. ?? The solution was super simple, which I’ll share here in case anyone else runs into a similar issue:

I just needed to set the scroll_distance parameter to 0 (instead of using the default of 150):

[ajax_load_more scroll_distance="0"]

In my case, the reason my pagination block *seemed* required was because it was creating the necessary vertical padding (of 150 pixels) to trigger the default scroll behavior for loading more posts.

Thanks again to dcooney for chiming in on this thread (and for making an awesome plugin).

Thanks for the response! Hmm… interesting.

For reference: the_posts_pagination() is WP’s method for generating page links. I definitely don’t want to use it, but it seems I have to.

This is so frustrating/baffling. Here’s the relevant code I have on my homepage:

<div id="main" class="grid" role="main">

    <h1>Quickies</h1>

    <?php
      /* Query Quickies */
      $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'quickie',
        'posts_per_page' => 24,
        'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
      );
      $quickieLoop = new WP_Query( $args );
      while ( $quickieLoop->have_posts() ) : $quickieLoop->the_post();

        get_template_part('loop-quickie');

      endwhile; wp_reset_query();

      /* AJAX Load More plugin */
      echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more
        post_type="quickie"
        seo="true"
        transition="fade"
        posts_per_page="24"
        max_pages="0"
        offset="24"]');

    ?>

  <div class="gap"></div>

</div><!-- #main .grid -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php the_posts_pagination(); ?>

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this!

I hope the plugin authors see it and fix it soon. ??

Thanks so much for your reply! You’re right: it’s showing properly know. It seems there was a 12-hour delay, though. My suspicion is that’s a setting outside the scope of the Submittable plugin, but I don’t understand how WP ingests RSS data enough to make an educated guess.

At any rate: all is well now!

Hello! I’m still having problems with this, even with the latest version (1.0.6) of the Submittable plugin.

On my site’s page I see only two categories:

On my Submittable form, I see the correct categories:
https://motionographer.submittable.com/submit

Please help!
Thanks!

It seems that there’s no silver bullet to solve this issue, but contrid’s comment above got me on the path to a solution that worked for me. Here’s what I did:

1. I FTPed into my server with Transmit (for OS X) and did a Get Info on a few of my WP directories. I noticed that wp-content was owned by a user in the “psacln” group but that my other folders were owned by root (in the “root” group).

2. Using Terminal, I SSHed into my server as root and navigated to my WP directory.

3. I performed a recursive CHOWN to change all the ownership of all files and folders to the user in the psacln group using this command:

chown -R username:psacln .
(“username” isn’t the actual user; that’s just an example. You’d need to put your actual FTP username there.)

4. Back in the WP dashboard, I performed an automatic upgrade using the same user as my CHOWN command and voila!—it worked! For the first time ever!

I’m a novice at all this server admin stuff, so I hope I didn’t screw anything up in the process. Everything seems to be running fine, though. Thanks to everyone for their help, especially contrid.

@mrl144: Thanks for the tip, but it didn’t work for me. WP did indeed create a new “upgrade” folder, but I still received the following error message:

Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-2.8.4.zip.

Unpacking the update.

Could not copy files.

Installation Failed

@dgumper: I’m receiving the “login failed” error and I have the Twitter Application in Facebook enabled as well.

YES! It’s working for me, too!

Thanks so much, Ron. You kick all kinds of ass.

(Sorry for rambling. I’m sure you guys know much more about this than me, but in the hopes that I might say something useful, I’m writing all my discoveries here.)

I was looking through my wp_postmeta table in the database and I found that for some reason it looks like WP stopped creating enclosure meta data right around April, which is when I upgraded to WP 2.5, I believe.

I don’t know, just another clue. ??

I’ve discovered a workaround that *kinda* fixes things: Add a new Custom Field for the post, using “enclosure” for type. Paste the URL to your mp3 in the Value field.

I also re-pasted the URL in the Podcasting field. This time, when I saved my post, the URL stayed in the Podcasting field. All the other Podcasting values (e.g. keywords, author, length, etc.) were gone, but at least the URL remained.

When I check my podcast feed, I now see the post that contains the podcast. I don’t see the podcast (i.e. the mp3 file) itself, though…

Adding “AddType audio/mpeg mp3” to my .htaccess didn’t seem to help. I did install the plugin on another WP blog and got it to work successfully. So strange…

Let us know what you find, dudup. Thanks!

It’s disappearing completely for me. I uploaded the audio file through WP and then pasted the full URL in the Podcasting file field:

[audio src="https://motionographer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/motionographer01-this-way-up.mp3" /]

I was able to do this on my local installation of WP and everything worked great. For some reason on my live server, it’s not working.

Thanks so much for your response. I’m not exactly sure what deleting enclosures involved, but as a test, I created a new post with no content. I then uploaded an mp3 and pasted its URL into the Podcasting file input. When I hit Save, the page reloaded, but the Podcasting fields had reset themselves, just as beano described in his initial post.

I’m having the exact same problem as beano, and I’m running beta 5.

My post:
https://motionographer.com/2008/09/08/podcast-episode-01-this-way-up/

My podcast feed:
https://motionographer.com/feed/podcast/

Just like beano’s experience above, things work on my dev server, but not on my live server. And in the Podcasting field of the post, the URL is empty.

Thanks for your help, cavemonkey!
