I had the same problem on two of my blogs, each of them hosted on a different server. After deactivating all my plugins, I traced the problem to ShareThis by Manu Mukerji.

All right. I’ve solved the issue. Don’t know what was wrong, but after I deactivated the plugin, deleted the folder, and installed a new clean copy, it was working just fine.

Perhaps there was some corruption in the original code.

This is a great, great plugin, and before I upgraded to the latest versions of WordPress and AudioPlayer I had no problems at all.

Now, though, after upgrading both, I am also having variable success. The player works fine on one post on one blog, and works fine on another post on another blog, but in different posts on both it will only insert a link, not the player.

I cannot insert the player through Firefox at all. I inserted it through the interface once only in Safari. In the other case I inserted it manually, to no avail.

Here are two things that may be relevant:

1) the troublesome blog is a literary journal which goes live in February so all the posts are scheduled. I can view them only in preview and only from the admin login.

2) the sound files in each case are different sizes. The one that works is 500 KB and the one that doesn’t is 1.3 MB I can’t see why that would matter, but it is the only difference I can find.

If I can’t find a workaround before the issue goes live I will have to install a different player but I really don’t want to do that.

I’ve just worked out that my host has been moving to a new server over the past few days and that Akismet hasn’t been able to verify my API key as a result. That’s why all of a sudden the spam started to flood in.

I’ve installed SpamKarma in the meantime and am now very happy.

Thanks for the comments, all. This is now resolved.

OK, now I’ve made sure that I’m running the latest version of Akismet and it’s made no difference whatsoever. Any recommendations for an alternative/additional spam blocker that’s compatible with WordPress 2.3?

I’ve had this problem since I changed themes several months ago. I’m beginning to suspect that it’s .php problem. I modified the theme that I wanted to use, and changed some of the php coding — nothing major, I thought at the time — but one of them was the functions.php file. Since then I’ve had the revert-to-default-theme problem on a regular basis, no matter what theme I load.

I run very few plugins, and certainly none of the ones that have been identified as causing this problem. I think that it’s a coding problem, but have no idea how to fix it.

Two questions, because I’ve been having this problem with my site since I switched themes.

One, where is that function located?

Two, I’m not running 2.1 right now, but 2.0.7, and I don’t have any major plugin that has been thought to be a problem (just widgets & akismet & event calendar for now). I’ve never had the problem before this theme. Obviously it’s something about my modified code, but what?

Mine was a fresh installation. The test blog was set up to run 2.1 to iron out any bugs. I haven’t dared any upgrades yet.

But it’s working now — yay! And many thanks.

Thanks, I’ll try that.

I’m having the same problem on my test blog and am running on a virtual server. (Haven’t upgraded to 2.1 on my live blogs yet – 2.0.7 is working just fine). Is there another way to apply the patch without going into unix?
