Jeremy, I have a page that lists out every plugin I have, both active and inactive. It has a password, though – happy to send that to you if I can privately, or maybe easiest via Twitter: if you follow me @jangles, I’ll DM it to you.

Re any other plugin, I have no idea, Jeremy. Not even sure what to look for. This issue has arisen only since I updated JetPack to version 2.6 earlier today. No other plugin was updated today, although I realise that perhaps JetPack 2.6 may be clashing with an existing plugin. How would I troubleshoot that? (If it’s disabling plugins one by one, etc, I’m not keen at all to do that unless it’s absolutely the only way to find out.)

As for a function, I see nothing in any functions file or code that looks like anything to do with Open Graph. I’ve not added any function or hook to anything in WordPress for months. I’m not a programmer or coder, mind you, so maybe I don’t know what to look for that isn’t obvious.

As I mentioned earlier, I have not experienced this issue before at all, only since updating JetPack to version 2.6 earlier today.

Thanks Jeremy. Yes pages are displaying properly now after I added this code to functions.php:

add_filter( 'jetpack_enable_opengraph', '__return_false', 99 );

Basically, disabling OPen Graph. When viewing the source code of blank pages, I saw that code stopped loading at the first instance of Open Graph in the header. This seems to fix it.

But is this the best solution?

Thanks to @yoast for the insight (here: https://yoast.com/jetpack-and-wordpress-seo/)

@jeremy Herve, thanks for the reassurance ??

@jeremy Herve, earlier you said:

It’s also worth noting that the Audio shortcode will be deprecated once WordPress 3.6 is out, since it will include an Audio shortcode (#23282).

Will the current shortcode in posts still play audio if a blog is updated to 3.6?

Fyi, I updated to 2.2.2 and it works fine on my blog. See this post, for example, with audio embed using the shortcode –
https://www.nevillehobson.com/2013/04/03/fir-interview-steve-rubel-chief-content-strategist-edelman/

It didn’t work with 2.2.1 but does now.

Just saw 2.2.2 pushed out. Updated the plugin – and audio now working properly.

Thanks!

Saw this morning that all instances of the audio shortcode on my blog (https://www.nevillehobson.com) no longer work, ie, only blank spaces.

Then I found this thread. So not going crazy after all ?? Thanks, WP guys, hope to see that Jetpack fix asap.

Thanks Frederick. I am now extremely reluctant to install either plugin on my live site. Happy to help you troubleshoot, but let me think about your suggestion over the weekend.

Thanks Richard. An interesting situation! To be honest, to get involved in trying to figure out a solution outweighs the benefit I perceive in finding that solution. If I had more spare time and willingness to spend it on this, then I’d certainly do that.

In any case, thanks for your work on the plugin, I like it as it’s a pretty good way of informing visitors about cookies.

Yep, it’s the theme. I just tried the default WordPress theme, and the toolbar shows.

My theme is Thesis 1.8.4 with the ThesisFolio skin. Any suggestions on what I can do to make the plugin work with this theme?

Richard, I think another plugin, or maybe the theme, is interfering with the cookie plugin. The link I mentioned previously is the show-again tab. I just disabled it – and nothing now displays at all.

Other than turn off all plugins and re-activate them one by one, or switch themes, what else can I check to see where the problem lies?

That’s great Richard, thanks. I’ve installed the latest version I see, 1.0.1. Installs fine (unlike other cookie plugins I’ve tried, it doesn’t cause a 500 server error on activation).

However, I can’t actually get it to do anything. A boxed text appears on the bottom right of my screen with the text “Privacy & Cookies Policy” that is a link. See it on my blog: https://www.nevillehobson.com/

Clicking on it does nothing even though I’ve edited the link on the settings page to link to a specific page on my site about cookies.

I suspect it’s something I’m not doing right in the settings. Can you give me an idea of what I’m doing wrong?

Hello Richard. Nice work with your plugin.

I was about to install it on my blog but, having read all the threads in this forum, decided to wait until the new shiny 0.9 is out ?? How imminent is that?

@in8sworld many thanks for that tip – worked perfectly, site now running on PHP 5.3.5 fastCGI. No longer the fatal SOAP error. Now I just need to get the widget to actually display more than just its title…
