Podcasters Take Care with Wordpress Upgrade

The latest version Wordpress (2.6) created a bit of a crumple for us Podpress using podcasters.

If you upgraded to 2.6, then tried to publish a new podcast or edit an old one - you noticed that your podcast Mp3 info was not being saved on the post.

This happened to a couple of my friends this past week and sent them into a panic.

The good news is that the fix isn’t too hard - and I’m sure that the Podpress plugin makers will issue an update soon that will correct the issue.

You can find the fix that I used successfully right here.  Look at Otto’s comment ;)

Lesson: You should always upgrade to the current build of Wordpress BUT if you’re dependent on plugins, it pays to wait at least a couple of weeks to see if there are any known issues before putting your website on the line.
