In reply to: [Yoast SEO] New tab opened when editing page and clicking links (Divi)I have this problem on a single Page in a single site – only one Page out of ~70 – the problem is somehow in the Page itself, since it’s only happening on this particular Page. If I turn off the Yoast, it does not happen, the only reason I thought to even turn off the Yoast was the error message in the Inspector console when I took a look at the admin.
I have screenshot if you would like, lmk where to email

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Support for PHP 8We’ve used your plugin for years and love it. I’m in the process of unwinding a group of MU into single sites and just had this error pop up (see below for exact error message)
With that said, 5 weeks after @rotti caught this issue, it’s still a problem. Luckily it was easy enough follow his thread and insert the same fix into the same line 214 error.
Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier “a” in /home/transfer/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-podcasting/php/classes/controllers/class-admin-controller.php:214 Stack trace: #0 /home/transfer/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-podcasting/php/classes/controllers/class-admin-controller.php(214): sprintf() #1 /home/transfer/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-podcasting/php/classes/controllers/class-admin-controller.php(1378): SeriouslySimplePodcasting\Controllers\Admin_Controller->register_post_type() #2 /home/transfer/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): SeriouslySimplePodcasting\Controllers\Admin_Controller->activate() #3 /home/transfer/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(311): WP_Hook->apply_filters() #4 /home/transfer/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(484): WP_Hook->do_action() #5 /home/transfer/public_html/wp-admin/plugins.php(193): do_action() #6 {main} thrown in /home/transfer/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seriously-simple-podcasting/php/classes/controllers/class-admin-controller.php on line 214
I should also mention that I’ve checked our bandwidth numbers for today, and they don’t support a big increase in direct download listens either.
Thanks for the quick reply. The only reason I noticed it was that I was checking stats and wanted to see the date of an episode versus the bump in stats.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Still not working with Google PodcastsThat is the reason why I said the authors would have to give you more advice. The problem is definitely in the SSL situation – Google Podcasts is basically framing the existing content, and secure sites will not display non-secure sites, for any framed content.
So I don’t know the answer, but I do see the problem, sorry ??

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Still not working with Google PodcastsYou have a mixed content warning on your site in Chrome, with the feed link that you provided. Google Podcasts is likely kicking it back because it’s not all SSL. I’m sure the plugin authors can give you more advice, but when we had the issue with Google Podcasts, we changed the link we were providing SSP from the absolute path to a relative path and it works every time now.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] google podcasts “Something went wrong”We were one of the sites in the other thread with the problem, and we found the solution. As a refresher –
iFrame (or other code using similar setup) from https site will not display a non-secure element, which is the reason that we found Google Podcasts refusing to play our audio from the absolute path that is default in the episode data.
We host our podcast on a multisite where the SSL certificate is issued to the master site URL in the admin, although each site has its own SSL on the front end. This is why using the relative path for the episode – /wp-content/uploads/podcastepisode – cured the problem, since Google was able to pull the audio from the secure location RSS feed.
On a side note, you really should switch to SSL for your website, including your audio feed, there are some other changes coming to Chrome over the next couple of iterations that will create a ton of mixed content warnings for your site and will cause you to have issues getting traffic from Google.

In reply to: [Yoast SEO] error after upgradeI just got the same thing, only in English.
I did the recovery mode login, deactivated Yoast, and then popped it out of recovery mode.
Then I reactivated Yoast, refreshed and nothing bad happened.
Not entirely sure what the block comment from WP is about, I’m using Classic Editor/Divi combo.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Offering an embed code for episodesIf your guests have WordPress built websites, they should be able to use the Audio player that’s built into the widgets along with the url to the episode. They’ll need to remove everything after the ? in order to get it to play.
We do this with a subset of our own episodes on a different site that we manage, and it works decently.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Where to download a prior versionWe do NOT have this issue.
I have a copy of 1.19.20 saved if anyone should happen to need it in case of a bad reaction.
great idea

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Feed Repeating Incorrect TitleWe use Divi (theme) on our site with the podcast and have no issues because of it, just as a reference point.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?“Ultimately, if Google handled its HTTPS redirection better it would resolve the issue for everything.”
HTTPS framing requires HTTPS inside the frame or it won’t work. It’s a bit above Google’s pay grade ??
If you’re self hosting, then you can get a free SSL cert from LetsEncrypt, and most of the reputable hosts will allow that. Some of the EIG crap hosts require you to purchase SSL certs through them, which is just another reason to get off their bandwidth and onto something decent.
Hope that changing the format will work for you –

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?AND THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED…
@psykro @michaelsattler@backpationet You, my friend, are a genius, even though you may not have realized it. The issue here is not a problem with Google, it’s the use of absolute paths for calling assets.
LSS, if you use the relative paths instead of the absolute paths in your episode URL, you should have no issues – at least as long as you’re using SSL on your site.
For us, we preload the episodes using FTP and Add from Server, then select the episode from the Media Library when we create it for publishing. So its just a matter of removing the domain and leaving everything after the first /
Apparently Google is treating the podcast episodes for the Podcast app in the same manner as if they were displaying content in an iFrame. However, https frames cannot serve non-HTTPS content, that’s against the rules and you get a blank display.
The part that clued me in was the reference by backpationet about the HTTP vs HTTPS, and I had a quick look at how our URL was formatted in the individual episode posts. Once I saw what I thought was the issue, I changed to relative path and voila! The episodes are working just fine in the Podcast app.
We initially had episodes, at least two, that were playing fine when Google Podcast app launched, so I don’t know if they changed something or if we changed something without realizing it. Oh well, it’s working now.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?@dancouver – can you check permissions on your files on DO droplet and let me know what they read? We are on Vultr which is same sort of thing, so I’m trying to figure out if this is a permissions problem perhaps (ooh, try saying that three times quickly lol)
Thanks!
