Breaking Enclosures when making updates

    Hello All,
    I’ll do the best I can to describe the problem, sorry if I don’t do that well here… So, I have recently upgraded to WordPress 3.0, and I’ve noticed a problem. If I add a ‘homethumb’ in the custom fields after a post has all ready been pulled in via our rss syndication; the enclosure then breaks and the formatting goes to shit. I cannot figure out why it does this. Posts come in just fine but as soon as I try to add a new custom field things go haywire. Is anyone else having this issue and if so how was it resolved? Help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    -Ryan Kenward

    More than likely this is an interaction with your theme and will require more investigation than is normally given in a support forum. What I would do is try to look in your theme at how it handles the custom fields and see if you can troubleshoot the issue from there.

    If you cannot, you can always visit the homepage of people who have replied to your comment to see if they offer some more commercial support options.

    I’m not sure the theme is the issue… The actual post is changing, that sounds more like a plugin or issue with wordpress.

    It shows this when after you update the custom fields –

    Everything up until the mp3 part is right… then things gets crazy

    Without looking at it closer, it would be very difficult to guess at what is going on here…

    I think wordpress is looking at the enclosure incorrectly… it was working before the upgrade :-/ I cannot seem to figure how what is going on… I think setting the homethumb wasn’t part of the problem, its just whenever I click update it adds all that text in to it. Doh.

    That would be extremely unfortunate.

    BTW, what do you mean by the “enclosure”, I think that our definitions of this word may be different.

    I’m talking about media enclosures, in this specific case podcast files.
