Hey Angelo,

Here’s the links:

https://feeds.feedburner.com/BumpyUKGarageWithDJBrainz

For your reference, below is what Google replied with after I told them I redirected the feed.

Cheers,

Greg

`After the review, we were able to replicate the issue, and we’ve submitted an escalation to get the podcast feed updated to https://feeds.feedburner.com/BumpyUKGarageWithDJBrainz. It usually takes upto 2 weeks for our team to properly update the podcast feed, and for the feed to get indexed in Google Podcasts. We’ll let you know once we have more information.

As a reminder, Google Podcasts is a Search feature that crawls and indexes the open web to surface podcast content on various Google Podcasts platforms. If Google finds multiple feeds that seem to describe the same podcast, it groups them together. From this feed group, Google selects one feed as representative for the podcast and serves only that feed on all Google Podcasts platforms. For more information, please check out this help article: Podcasts with multiple feeds.

Occasionally, Google might determine that a different feed in the group is more representative of a podcast than a chosen feed and will start serving that feed instead of the selected feed.

Podcasts Manager will show a notification about the feed change in your show, prompting the show owners to verify the new feed. We’re already aware of this issue, and our engineering team is working on resolving it at the earliest.

If your podcast has multiple feeds, you can indicate the main feed to Google by linking your homepage to your feed with a <link type=”application/rss+xml” rel=”alternate”> tag, and linking your feed to that homepage using a <link> tag. This is a very strong suggestion to Google that this should be the definitive feed for your podcast. If after doing so, you find that Google is still using the wrong feed for your show, you can request a change in the served feed.

For additional queries or concerns, please visit the Podcasts Manager Help Center, or feel free to reach out to us.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.`

Nike,

No problem. Thanks again for the taking the time to correspond with me. This is all in direct relation to my Google Podcast listing, which isn’t discontinued as of right now I believe. It would make sense for them to use itunes tags as they are pretty much ubiquitous.

I think it’s fine. I’ve done the redirect. We’ll just have to see how it goes.

All the best,

Greg

Hey Mike,

Thanks for reaching out.

So no, Smartcast is off. That already caused me issues in the past and I’m well aware that it’s doing double the job that Powerpress does, albeit badly. I use Category Podcasting because I run 2 feeds for 2 different podcasts. I also didn’t want blog posts appearing in my feed.

I mainly use Feedburner as I like it as a backup cache mechanism.

The mismatch of email was because I had 2 different emails for the main podcast feed and for the category feed. I’m glad in a way this had been pointed out, as I don’t like the email that was exposed to be public. I’ve got it all 301’d to the one category podcast feed now.

Coming back to the main question in hand – is there some way to add the googleplay:email tag to the feed without a horrible shim or hack?

Thanks,

Greg

I’m in a good mood, so I thought I’d share this.

<script type="text/javascript">
function nrelate_append_tracking() {
	if (!jQuery('.nr_panel').length) {
		setTimeout(function(){nrelate_append_tracking();},500);
	}
	else {
		jQuery('.nr_panel').each(function() {
			jQuery(this).attr("onclick","_gaq.push (['_trackEvent'])");
		});
	}
}

if (jQuery('body.single').length) {
	nrelate_append_tracking();
}
</script>

Yo,

Having exactly the same problem. Just spotted a mad error log in my root relating the the CRON job falling over.

Looks like there is something inherently wrong either with Twitter Tools or Social.

Does anyone have a solution to this yet?

Cheers,

Thanks so much for your help Marcus. I’d never binded a function to an event before so I had to do some Googling.

Came up with

$j(document).bind('em_calendar_load', function() { calColours(); });

Worked like a charm.

Still think that there’s room for a way to add classes for even categories though. It will help with styling and therefore usability.

Cheers

Ok I’ve managed to hack my function into the events-manager.js file and it works, but this is obviously very bad practice as it will break when the plugin updates.

So any suggestions on another way to do this would be awesome like awesome sauce.

Thanks,

Greg

I finally did my upgrade on Friday just gone. And it was relatively pain free.

WHM has an “Update MySQL” option in their control panel. I ended up just using the GUI for that. After you update, it makes you recompile PHP with EasyApache.

I did have a problem with backing up MySQL from the command line, and it related to corrupt tables for webmail clients. I managed to overcome those.

My learnings came in bits from this post on the Cpanel forum:

https://forums.cpanel.net/f354/help-failed-upgrade-mysql-4-1-5-1-corrupt-tables-144293.html#post642625

But ultimately I only needed to back up from the command line and use the GUI for the rest.

To be honest, a phpMyAdmin backup may have sufficed but I didn’t want to take any chances!

Anyway, I have 3.2 BETA 1 up and running. Now to try RC1!

I had this problem and just managed to overcome it.

I was getting the same error, and after digging through, I managed to put together a hack/fix.

FYI – I’m working with Member List version 3.5.

You need to edit the file /wp-content/plugins/member-list/class/select.php

Near the top change:

if(!class_exists('select')) {
//
class select {

to

if(!class_exists('ternselect')) {
//
class ternselect {

and near the bottom, change:

$ternSel = new select;

to

$ternSel = new ternselect;

Cheers. I had a look but the option isn’t there.

I’m not on VPS. My service provider has an extortionate hourly rate for things like this so I like to try to avoid where possible.

So right now I’m still stuck.

Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about MySQL or PHP? My PHP version is ok. It’s the MySQL install that’s the problem.

From what I understand, a lot changes between MySQL 4.1 and 5 which has more potential to break.

Ah – my post was moved into the hell that is the How-to forum.

Excuse the bump. Can anyone help?

Hi there,

Welcome to the world of WordPress!

First of all, hacking the core files isn’t a great idea. It’ll only get you into a world of trouble down the line when you upgrade to newer versions.

You’re better to use filters and hooks to replace functions (though I’m not able to write these from scratch myself).

What I think would be the best solution for you would be to work with 2 separate images, and use the “Multithumbnail” plugin to extend the the_post_thumbnail() function.

So all you’d need to do is specify your sizes in your theme’s function file

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'additionalsize', 500, 400, true );

Then enable the size for the multithumbnail plugin

if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')) {
$additionalsize = new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => 'Additional Size',
    'id' => 'additional-size',
	'post_type' => 'post'
    )
);

You then use something like this to display the image you’ve chosen as your secondary thumbnail

<?php if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')
    && MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail('post', 'additional-size')) :
        MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail('post', 'additional-size'); endif; ?>

That would be how I’d work around it. Though that might be a n00b cop-out as I’m not amazing at PHP.

I found you can call it just by adding a class to your textarea field, though the exact class escapes me now.

I didn’t work out how to have a switch between TinyMCE and HTML with a JS tab like the main WordPress version.

* Does some Googling *

Ok the class you need to add is mceEditor

I found some info here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3359320/how-to-add-a-wordpress-custom-post-type-field-with-tiny-mce

Are portfolio-categories and newscategories actual categories or custom post types?

In your code, setting a post_type is for setting a custom post type. If it’s a category then you could use ‘category_name’ to pull the posts by the category slug.

Also not sure where you’re pulling your $cat and $count vats from.

Are you outputting this new query with $additional_loop->the_post() anywhere?

It’s worth having a read over this https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/WP_Query
