    I am having a similar problem. I can create a post just fine. But sometimes when I go back to edit a post, the post editor clears my updates when I save. This makes editing posts a very frustrating experience.

    I’m still seeing this issue even though I’m only using the plain text editor. I’d appreciate feedback from anyone who has a new idea or has experienced similar problems.

    I’m not sure about the automatic publishing with WP 2.0 since I haven’t tried that with 2.0 but it was working for me with 1.5. What I’ve been doing with WP 2.0 (because I knew that the wysiwyg editor would wipe it out) is turning off the rich editor option and then pasting the code into the post and saving. Not my preferred way of doing it but it gets the job done. In 1.5 I was using a wysiwyg plug in and if I wanted to edit a post with the iframe I would deactivate the plug in before editing and saving the post.

    the “path/to/poster/frame” part is only if you use some kind of a graphic that people see by default instead of the first frame of your movie. If you’re not doing that then that field would also be the path to your media.

    Also, I just tried posting from Audioblog to my WP 2.0 site and it didn’t work. That really sucks cause i know it worked in previous versions of WordPress. It would be great if Audioblog could at least generate the code for you to paste. It would be even better if Audioblog could work with WP developers to make this work.

    A couple of ideas. I embed video on my site at http://www.getyourflow.com and http://www.newyorkminuteshow.com.

    1. Don’t use the rich text editor when dealing with embeds. For whatever reason it blanks out the embed code. Whenever I want to insert or edit a video embed I just use the plain text editor.

    2. Try pasting something like the following code into the post:

    For Quicktime

    <embed src=”path/to/poster frame” BGCOLOR=”000000″ BORDER=”0″ width=”320″ height=”256″ autostart=”false” loop=”false” controller=”false” href=”path/to/media” target=”myself” />

    For Audioblog

    <iframe src=”http://www.audioblog.com/%5Baudioblog video id];pc=CCFF33&kc=FFCC33&bc=FFFFFF&gateway=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.audioblog.com%2Fplaylist&player=vp24″ height=”210″ width=”246″ frameborder=”0″ scroll=”no” scrolling=”no”></iframe>

    Both of these methods work for me in WP 2.0

    Thanks for the feedback. Just trying to take WP and get the most out of it as I learn. Certainly a heck of a lot easier than coding from scratch πŸ™‚

    That’s okay. I think it has something to do with having first edited something in the one editor and then later editing in the other editor. I’ve been creating new test posts with only the text editor and those update fine.

    Thanks for the reply. What makes this frustrating is the fact that I’ve tried switching to the HTML editor and I’m still seeing the issue. I’m doing more testing as we speak to try and isolate the source of the issue.

    Anyone have any suggestions? This is a very bizarre problem because the post gets updated and can be viewed with the changes, but the editor reverts to the previously saved information. I’ve checked to see if this is some kind of a browser issue but I get the same problem in IE or Firefox.

    I’ve figured this one out. I’m embedding videos with poster frames at http://www.podcastnyc.net/flow by taking two actions:

    1. Not using the rich text editor. For whatever reason, rich text editors blank out the embed code.

    2. Stripping the code down so that it looks like the following:

    <embed src=”path/to/posterframe” BGCOLOR=”000000″ BORDER=”0″ width=”320″ height=”256″ autostart=”false” loop=”false” controller=”false” href=”path/to/movie” target=”myself” />

    1. Don’t use the rich text editor when dealing with embeds.

    2. Try pasting just the following code into the post:

    <embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/y_FjWNKulNc&#8221; type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”425″ height=”350″></embed></object>
