Custom field with name “enclosure” disappears on save

Have you tried:

– disabling Google Gears if you have that running/installed.

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.

– renaming the plugins folder via FTP

– reading http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/279132

I’ve tried all of the suggestions above but still have the same result animepulse describes.
The custom field “enclosure” usually gets removed after I save the post.
Strangely it doesn’t act 100% consistently. Sometimes(and sometimes not) on the second save attempt the enclosure field does remain but then if I view the post the enclosure data is gone and when I go to edit the post again the enclosure field is missing.

I don’t have the podpress plugin. I have disabled all plugins, changed to the default theme and I don’t use Gears.

Any help would be so appreciated!

Thanks MJAYAS,

This is seriously messed up behavior, and very sloppy in terms of putting the URL in the body.

What I’m confused now about is whether this is now considered a bug, and will be fixed, or should we figure out a way of engineering around the sloppiness of having a redundant URL and also figure out how to add these to the thousands of posts we have…grrrr.

I never understood the desire for the auto-enclosure thing. I’ve always thought it was annoying, restrictive and problematic.
