PowerPress Episode Box Suddenly in Editor Sidebar

    I have been using PowerPress for years. The “Podcast Entry Section” or “PowerPress Episode Box,” has always appeared below the post editor section as I am creating a post. Suddenly it has jumped to the right sidebar where Tags, Categories, Featured Image, etc. live. It appears at the bottom of those options.

    Nothing had been upgraded or added to the installation when it changed. It seems like it happened when I was exploring Blubrry’s Plugin Settings so I think I must have changed something but I have no idea what I changed.

    I have turned off all other plugins and reinstalled Blubrry. I updated WordPress and I am current on all other themes and plugins but the Podcast Episode box remains in the sidebar.

    Thoughts….

    The post editor is Ajax. You can simply grab the box from the sidebar (likely click and hold near the title) and drag it to where you want it and drop it.

    It’s likely one of your other plugins or your them added something that pushed the podcast episode section to the sidebar.

    Mike,

    Excellent observation. I see that I can grab and drag that section of the editor around, sort of like menus in WordPress. I drag it to the main editing section and drop it but it does not stay there nor is there any indication that the main section has activated in any way that might indicate it is viable and waiting for a drop.

    Being AJAX I thought… wonky browser (FireFox Developer Edition) tried Safari and Chrome with no luck but I think you have identified the issue. This is also consistent with me thinking it was something I did and not related to updates. I do remember noticing that the editor was draggable but was not paying attention when I let go of the mouse button. I’m pretty sure this is something I did. I will continue and report back.

    Thanks.

    Mike, Issue Solved.

    Custom fields must be visible.

    Go to top right side of editing sidebar. Click the three vertical dots to the right of the gear. At the bottom of the drop down menu is a “Preferences” item. Select that. A light box menu system will appear in the center of the page. Make sure there is a check mark in the “Custom Fields” box. It’s at the bottom of the pop-out light box menu.

    Back out on the main post editing section at the bottom, a new “Custom Fields” section is exposed. Once that is visible, it is now possible to drag the “PowerPress Episode Box” to that location.

    Thanks for getting me started on the right path.

    Well… I may have spoken to soon. After testing the issue and experimenting a bit… suddenly even the “Custom Fields” section banished itself to the right side bar. Tried different themes, no plugins, etc. No luck. The entire thin area at the bottom of the main edit window was not even available so there was no change to drag anything in there.

    The resolution this time was to bust into the Classic Editor where everything was where it was supposed to be! Came back to the regular blocks editor, deactivated and tossed out the Classic Editor and all is well…. crossing fingers.
