Thanks for your help with all of this. I have activated the getid3 plugin and will upgrade to the PowerPress 7.0 once it’s released. For now, everything is working great.

Updating here (been busy the last 24 hours).

Removed the WP_DEBUG line from wp-config.php

Have the PowerPress GetID3 plugin uploaded to my site, but I have a question before I activate it.

Do I leave the latest build plugin that you had me use (which is the one that works) active as well as this GetID3 plugin? I’m assuming yes, but wanted to check first.

Success!!! That worked. I also tried the verify URL with my original link from my blog and that verified without errors as well.

Thanks for tracking this down. Nice to have this working for now with the latest version of the plugin. And without me having to go back and forth between old and new versions to verify podcast media links.

Same 500 Internal Server error, using that development version of the plugin you attached above.

FWIW, the podcast I am using doesn’t have chapters.

Still getting 500 Internal server error.

Also, added the WP_DEBUG to my wp-config.php before the require line.

Is it printing the information to a log file somewhere? When I verify URL, the screen looks the same with the error that comes up.

The requested URL returned error 403

There is a Test option. Clicking that goes to a page with the following:

<Error>
AccessDenied
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
<RequestId>7C27310A1A0D90C0</RequestId><HostId>kMXTKYc+VB3csoLvwlHFE9gr83FP6icNbmhOP1V1eARvRtxIPQeH5Zz/t70OKsGisOWlKMbk7Xs=</HostId>
</Error>

Yes, I am familiar with editing my wp-config.php.

Thanks, Angelo, for the clarification.

WordPress 4.5 (this also happened with 4.42 before I did the upgrade)

Powerpress Diagnostics:
Email sent.

I think the only other place I posted a support issue was on the Blubrry support site, when I was getting the 1680 error, which I am not anymore (replaced by the 500 error). I have left a reply on that post to let them know you are helping me here. I looked on Twitter and Facebook and don’t see any posts I have made concerning this support issue.

More troubleshooting here. I found a version of Powerpress plugin ver 6.2.2 and get the AJAX Error: Internal Server Error.

Again, going back to Powerpress plugin ver 5.0.10 fixes the URL issue.

What has changed for verify URL from ver 5 to ver 6? Is it expecting a new setting that needs to be set somewhere?

I am getting this same error. I was getting the 1680 error when trying to verify URL.

I have not contacted Blubrry support yet for this 500 internal server error when verifying URL.

Replacing Powerpress plugin 6.3.3 with version 5.0.10 fixes the verify URL error.

I have disabled all other plugins from my site. I changed themes to the twentyfifiteen and still get the verify URL error using Powerpress 6.3.3 plugin.

I can post more details about my setup.

Wow. Worked like a charm. Much thanks for the help and quick response.

If I need to post code, let me know.

Got hit with the ‘Magic” hack recently on one of my blogs. I was running 2.8.2 at the time.

Cleaned up all the code, replaced the vars.php file from a backup and then did a complete backup once I was sure all of the hacked code was gone from all plugins and elsewhere.

Now at 2.8.4, but wondering like the others here, if this will provide safety from this same hack.

Thanks go out to yokima and others who figured out how to get rid of this.

Zepfanman, I have the same issue with my broken 2.8 dashboard issues… plugins won’t do the auto upgrade (have to manually download them and copy new files over).

I bet there is a database issue.

I’ve reinstalled WP 2.8.2 on another site using the same template and it works just fine. So there is something to the coding changes.

I miss the incoming links, which means I’m missing mentions from other blogs that link to mine.

Since upgrading to 2.8 on my blog (I was using 2.6.5 before), I have the same issue with my dashboard not showing items. I get more than 5 plugins active and it breaks. And it doesn’t matter what plugins. I can leave any 4 active and as soon as I enable the 5th one, no more dashboard windows.

I’ve not updated to 2.8.2 to see if that fixes it yet, but the biggest frustration is not being able to see incoming links.
