    Hi Steven – I wasn’t suggesting in the slightest that its anything to do with you guys – however clearly WPRess overriding when it comes to the dashboard and this question has been posted before (and others have it – hi alex).

    Anyway simplest if not perfect answer defo works (although leaves bookmark with wrong favicon) – change favicon in *two* places….

    Thanks for your solution!

    Thank you for super-speedy service Steven and a great answer – I did that and fixed my problem.

    Wasn’t being as dumb as it sounds. Am using Avada theme and in it’s many options is a favicon one – which I set to my favicon. That however only worked if one wasnt in the dashboard etc.

    So long story short I set it in both. Curiously now when I go to an admin page it still shows the Wpress one for about half a second (?!!) before changing its mind and using my icon. A minor matter though now – much easier to track my tabs now www is consistent favicon-ed.

    Many thanks!

    Thank you very much for this Hristo and your helpful suggestions.

    I re-enabled SGO and setup to use https and also SG support blocked on very active botty site that over-trafficed. Now (touchwood!) the cpu usage is down massively and that problem has gone away.

    TBH so many changes were made I dont know what fixed the issue – I believe it is as I crosspost in the PS below from another forum. Your explanation is a good one but at the time I was not using https so it couldnt have been that stopping it.

    Anyway touchwood everything works now and below is the workround that I feel made all the difference (goodness knows why – no idea re this cookie thing).

    Thank you again for your time and effort.

    PS crossposting:

    Thank you for checking it works at your end. My big concern of course is not that its just a pain for me but that it doesnt work for listeners around the world.

    Yes I gave a poor(/no) description. What actually happens is that the audio player flickers that striped pattern that it normally does when fetching an episode. However rather than a white bar and starting to play which is the normal mode it appears to give up and the flickering goes away and player reverts to its inactive mode. If I re-click it at that point it doesnt even bother to flicker. My guess is for some reason the “fetch file” instruction fails.

    I eventually found a workround. I had to use the SGO plugin as my cpu usage went into overload without it.

    The workround I found (but this of course leaves me with slight nervousness that of course I cant be the only person in the world who has this problem) is to set Chrome to clear the cookie for the website everytime I leave it. For some reason (goodness only knows) this solves the issue and the player works normally.

    [In passing the hint to me was that I never had the problem if I activated the KProxy add-on in Chrome].

    Thank you Shawn – most appreciated. Apologies for being slow getting back to you – its been a nightmare week of work overload and cpu overload on my host so only just re-emerging from under a stone.

    Thank you Angelo for super-speedy response 🙂

    Yes oddly that link is working for me now too. This intermittency is of course the biggest nightmare.

    I tried that link and a different link in a incognito chrome window and neither worked on w10/chrome (but it did work on android/chrome):

    I noticed SG Optimizer was updated last week. I suspect there is some problem arising that doesnt always happen and they arent on the case of yet. I have ran SGO for quite some time with no problem and only noticed this problem last week.

    Of course the nightmare is that it doesnt always happen (but who knows how their caching is behaving).

    [In passing as additional information when the proper www player doesnt work then also for some reason the browser wont even load the content directly without the wordpress www around it eg http://content.blubrry.com/londonfintechpodcast/LFP103.mp3%5D

    As a note to others who have blubrry powerpress plugin + SGO
    ____________________________________________________________

    In passing after two days this is still not resolved. On the one hand it doesnt appear on all systems. On the other it does on mine (W10/Chrome) and my partners (Macbook/Safari) which are pretty popular systems around the world.

    Also https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/using-powerpress/diagnosing-feed-andor-player-issues-with-powerpress/ says:

    Ctrl+F5 makes it work (does on w10) – but thats a workaround not a fix.

    “Disable WP caching plugins first. This is the most common issue for both problems with pages and feeds. Sometimes simply resetting the cache in the plugin can solve the issue.”

    Which points to exactly what I find. Disable SG/O and no problems with any combination of system.

    Ah – didnt realise these two places pointed in the same direction (hence in inadvertent double posting)… I replied to the ticket and am awaiting investigation.
