Can this plugin be configured to save only certain media types?

In reply to: [bbp style pack] font size changes not workingGot it to work! My site is hosted by Pressable. I went there and purged their cache and the changes (or most of them anyway) immediately took effect.
Just wondering when I might get an answer to my above post?
Angelo: I was just getting ready to do the PHP Admin query, but then something occurred to me. Even though this will remove podcasts from previous audio posts, what happens if I ever deactivate and then reactivate Powerpress? Won’t it immediately create podcasts for all posts containing audio, just like it did before?
As you know, there are many reasons to deactivate plugins, the big one being to troubleshoot problems. So I’d say it will likely occur down the road. Once I’ve published a number of podcasts, the problem I’ve described would hard to resolve, other than going through all “non podcast” audio posts and disabling the Powerpress player manually. That could mean manually tweaking well over 200 posts, not something I ever want to do.
Is it possible that you guys will provide a fix on your end by modifying your plugin so that it absolutely will not create podcasts from old audio posts?
Am I the only one who has had this problem? And do you think it’s theme related, or is it a bug in the plugin?

Thanks so much Angelo! I’ll try this as soon as I return from my holiday vacation.
Angelo: I’m still awaiting instructions concerning the SQL query issue.
Thanks Angelo … that is good to know! So it appears that it is okay for me to include additional audio files in a post that features a podcast, and that doing so will not mess up my RSS feed.
OK, so now I want to return to the php issue, and how to activate Powerpress without it influending my 100+ posts that already contain audio. See your note above where you ask if I can access php Admin, plus my note just before it which elicited your question. Apparently, my reponse to that note didn’t get published, so here is my answer again:
Yes, I can access PHP Admin, but I’m not a webmaster and have never performed an SQL query (although I’m willing to learn or else hire someone to do it for me). So what needs to be changed in order to prevent Powerpress from automatically making podcasts from all my earlier posts?
Note: it looks like all I have to do is get into PHP Admin, click the SQL tab, paste-in the query, and hit Go to execute it. Right? So, if you supply the query, I could easily execute it. Right?

p.s. Another question.
If we fiddle with the php, can we also insure that I can publish a podcast post that refers to a recording hosted by Blubrry, while also including additional recordings in the post description? Or will this not be possible because it will mess up the RSS feed of the “description” portion of the podcast? I suppose that if including additional recordings in a podcast post is important to me, I should perhaps not use Powerpress and instead publish the podcast entirely via the Blubrry website.
Am I thinking about this correctly?
Shawn: Unfortunately, my site is audio-centric, so I have LOTS (perhaps 50 or so?) of blog posts containing audio, going back quite a number of months, well before I installed Powerpress.
When I enable Powerpress, it automatically adds the url of the first audio file (in those olds posts) to the podcast episode box. It sounds like that isn’t supposed to happen, that I should instead be required to add the url manually.
Any ideas as to how I can get it to behave properly? I’m using the Divi theme by Elegant Themes.
Here’s my site: http://musicofnature.com
It would be a great annoyance to have to go to all those old posts and remove the podcast by enabling the remove checkbox in the episode box.

Just to restate: When I enable Powerpress, a podcast player automatically appears on all my old posts that contain audio. I don’t want that to happen, because those are not podcasts. I only want the podcast player to appear on new posts that I will categorize as podcasts.

In reply to: [Collapsing Categories] Site freezes when using pluginI just updated from 2.0.7 to 2.0.8 and all pages where the widget appears now give an Error 500. Luckily, I copied the 2.0.7 folder via FTP, so I was able to easily revert.
So … there’s clearly as bug in 2.0.8.
My theme is Divi and WordPress is up to date.
