I have posted on the forum as to why.

A week late and counting

I know, I know. WordPress 2.6 really broke podPress support.

I am working on a new version of podPress to deal with this, its in testing on my dev site and I hope to have it out by the end of the coming weekend.

Here is a temp fix that may work for you

In your wp-config.php file add this line
define (’WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 0);

The way WordPress now stores revisions of changes (nice feature) ends up causing podPress settings to get out of sync with the latest post content. There are a number of other problems, but that at least should get you up and running while you await the podPress update.

Finally, this podPress update is NOT just for 2.6 support. Its a very large redesign to the codebase which is making it possible for the ports of podPress to Drupal and Joomla in the near future.

For all the details, check out the changelog but this is one release that cleans up a ton of mess and adds in support for full integration with the Podango API.

Theres still a few tiny features I want to add in, but its in good shape, and I need sleep so I can run off to the Podcast Expo in a few hours.

UPDATE - Bug in this version… of course, so hang on for next release due out in a few hours

I had been using vBulletin for a little over a year when I started podPress and wanted a place for users to create a community and to provide support. The forums have been very successful and tend to have on the order of 20-30 postings a day, with many more viewers.  Now vBulletin is commercial software, so I had to pay $85 to use it, and figured that donations would cover the costs and I mistakenly had thought the way the licensing worked is that after one year I could keep running the forums, but could no longer get updates which seemed fair enough to me.
Well, the license I did buy doesnt allow for that, and I had to find out the hard way. After my license had been expired a couple months I received an email saying I was in violation, which I ignored on the assumption that it was a mistake or SPAM. I mean, why would software I paid for become invalid to use? It does when you purchase leased software! Read the rest of this entry »

Today I was pondering the success of the podPress project since it started which got me to trying to remember how long its been. So a quick look at the change log shows that I released the first version on Feb 2nd of 2006.

So, its only a year and one month old!

What started as a quick hack to wordpress that I wanted to use to bring attention to my little podcast, has become far more widely appreciated and used than I could have ever guessed.
I want to thank you all for your support and thanks that I get in forum posts, emails and paypal donations. They all matter very much to me, and encourage my development to continue.

A special thanks also to macx who, over the last couple of months has really taking the initial quick little stats feature and turned it into something impressive. Its always great fun when I can chat about code with another developer and enjoy the collaborative artistic effort that software development can be.

I did an interview thats been posted on CrazyEngineers.com.

Go check out the interview, along with the forum thread discussion.

Today I got an email from the Daddo of the http://driftkikker.com/ website and he sent over a new Powered By logo to replace the lame one I threw together some time back.

My best effort          vs       Daddo
 

Daddo wins!

I had the great pleasure of being interviewed about podPress by the one and only Michael Geoghegan. I got in a small plug for my podcast as well, so Im pretty happy.

In the latest episode of Upon Further Review the podPress plugin (and me) was reviewed. Im happy to say we got a 4.5 out of 5 rating and in general alot of glowing praise.

The podcast itself is very well done for an episode #3, and theres lots of other good stuff in the episode so have fun listening.

James Woodcock will be interviewing me in the coming days, and so posted this on the forums.
