@james (MacManX) – I did as you suggested and my update function is working again. Thanks so much for your help!

Please disregard my – Upgrade to 3.0.1 caused an error – message. I got the problem resolved. Sorry for the interruption!

I use the default (ugly) permalinks and they simply won’t work. They were working fine when I first switched over to the 2.6 version, then a couple of weeks after the upgrade they stopped working. I upgraded to the 2.6.1 version in hopes that it will correct my problem and it didn’t.

Hi Mosey, I had upgraded to the 2.6 version when the problem started and then I upgraded to the 2.6.1 in hopes that it would correct itself. But it didn’t! Thanks so much for directing me to other discussions around this topic; I appreciate your assistance too!

iridiax: Oops! Thanks for the tip about starting a new topic next time. When I arrived to this forum, I noticed that it changed a bit and I did not see right away a place to start a new topic. So I immediately started searching the forums for answers! I will definitely do some reading at the blank post threads. Thanks!

I am having the same exact problem that DanielMcNeese is having, all of the links (permalinks) to specific post etc. from my blog’s homepage – https://www.thegritsbookclub.com/authorinterviews – have suddenly stopped working. Just in case you are wondering, I’ve been using the default (ugly permalinks) since I setup and started using this blog. So there has not been a change with the permalinks at all. I did not realize these links were not working until I was working on a post and tried to preview it and even the preview link brings back a blank page. I have been back and forth with my hosting company about this issue, but they don’t seem to be able to determine what’s causing this problem.

My hosting company did move me over to a new platform 2 months ago, and the blog was working fine after that move. But all of a sudden it is no longer working. I have 3 other blogs on that same server that are working fine, so any suggestions or tips I can try to get this blog working again (I’m also using the latest version of WordPress too)?

Thanks in advance for any and help!

Otto42, thank you for letting me know that WordPress handles enclosures automatically. I’ve added that bit of information in my email response back to PodTrac support just now.

I can honestly say that I have not done anything new with my podcasts that would be causing the issues I’m having other than my upgrade to the latest version of PodPress; which I’ve upgraded to other current versions of that software without having any problems.

The PodTrac redirection link you see is not new for me either and is actually the service that I’ve been using since February 2007 to track the performance of my podcast worldwide and how I’m paired with interested advertisers. PodTrac thought there was some complications with their redirect link — and now that I’ve corrected my Missing atom issues with that fix link you sent — I am going to have them recheck the issues on their end again to be sure that in fact it is that redirect link that is causing my problems.

Again thanks for your help. You and this entire support network is AWESOME!

Otto42, I just applied the 2 lines of code you did in the fixed version. I revalidated the feed and my Missing atom issues seem to have gone away. Now I will see if this solved my feed issues among all the various players out there. Thank you!

Marlive

Otto42, THANK YOU so much for sending that link.

So upgrading to the latest version of WordPress 2.3.1 should take care of my problems, correct? Or should I just go ahead and correct my current feed with the line of code shown at – https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/5205?

Kafkaesqui, thanks so much to your respond to my post here! Actually, I had my podcast feeds going to over 20 directories since November 2006. Then all of a sudden, which would be 2 weeks ago, they all stop working. My feeds are now just showing up in 3 of the 20 that they use to. So, technically, I have not had problems before now.

Today, I just received the message below from Podtrac’s tech support team, regarding why their player that is installed on my site quit uploading all of my feeds:

Subject: Player

Dear Marlive,

Thank you for your patience. It took some time to track down the problem. We can’t get your player to load either. While that was immediately evident, it took awhile to understand what was missing. Your feed is valid. Usually when the player will not operate, it is because the feed is not valid. This was not your case. We researched some more, looking at your feed source and discovered why the player will not load. It is because you do not have any <enclosure url> tags in your feed. The player uses this information to load your feed. The lack of <enclosure url> tags in your feed is also causing your measurement problems.

I’ve been using PodPress to upload all of my podcast to my blog for almost a year. I did upgrade to the newest version of PodPress about 3 months ago and everything was working fine and now it is not. How do I handle the <enclosure url> they are talking about above with regards to the PodPress works?

Again, I appreciate your feedback!

Hi MsHutch:
