I had someone send me an email today about not being able to download audio files from our Church podcast. I recently did an upgrade to the newest version of WordPress and didn’t realize until after the fact that the newest installation breaks the PodPress plugin.
Wouldn’t you know it? I did a little research and finally ran across a blog post that mentions a possible no-hack workaround and I am going to give this a try, hopefully this will work because I really hate to get in and hack around on WordPress’s core code.
A lot of people are reporting incompatibilities between Mighty Seek’s PodPress, the popular free podcasting add-on for WordPress, and the recently-announced WordPress 2.6. Earlier in the week, we reported a simple hack you could use to get things working again.
A reader, John Leavitt, sends word of an even easier fix – the No Revisions plug-in. It disables the new Revisions feature, which seems to be the source of the PodPress problems.
I tested this out on a site that uses PodPress and WordPress. After upgrading to 2.6 about a week ago, I had been unable to add audio podcasts using PodPress.
After installing the No Revisions plug-in, PodPress seems to be working again on the site. If you haven’t upgraded to WordPress 2.6, you’ll probably want to wait until PodPress gets updated for compatibility. If you already broke your podcast site with the update, though, give the No Revisions plug-in a try.
