So for anyone out there interested, I recently upgraded to WordPress version 2.6 at the behest of my hosting provider. I got an email basically telling me to upgrade or else they’d suspend my account. Needless to say, in addition to this site, I also host like 12 other sites. So I totally upgraded.
Unbeknown to me, this upgrade breaks the podPress version 8.8 that we all use to post the podcasts you see here. Well, I would like to thank Philip Molly Malone for posting a fix for this yesterday. I implemented what he said and BOOM we’re podcasting again!
Here’s the link to his fix and I suggest that anyone with a broken podPress 8.8 installed on WordPress 2.6 complete this very easy edit of your wp-config.php file. One little thing to make sure of is that you’re using the correct apostrophe when editing the file. I copy and pasted and the apostrophe used on the fix page isn’t the the right kind. You would do well to type it out manually into wp-config.php, using the apostrophe key that sits to the immediate left of the ‘Enter’ or ‘Return’ key on your standard QWERTY keyboard.
By the way, as he states, the thing that breaks podPress is the new “revisions” feature of WordPress 2.6. I don’t really care about revisioning when it comes to my blog posts or podcast episodes so I’m more than happy to have it turned off by this edit anyway. HAPPY BLOGGING/PODCASTING EVERYBODY!
