"unable to obtain upload session"

[debbievoiles]

Can't seem to pull my most recent podcast episode from Blubrry into my WP post as I normally do. When I click the little folder next to 'Media URL,' it takes me to a pop-up that says "Select files uploaded to Blubrry. (I had already uploaded the file to Blubrry.com). When I hit 'upload,' I get the message 'unable to obtain upload session. I've tried it with my episode published and unpublished, but the same thing happens.

This is the file:  BRV_5_Buying_Running_Shoes.mp3

I am logged in to my Blubrry acct.

For some reason, it got stuck in the unpublished area. 

Take this and paste it into your episode meida URL area and hit verify.

If it comes up green and it should, post your episode and you should be OK.

I just tried to upload another podcast, and I'm having exactly the same problem again 

[mgdell]

How are you uploading?  Are you using the folder icon in your wordpress blog or are you going to the blubrry.com page and uploading?

-Mike

[debbievoiles]

I'm uploading on the Blubrry site. Then, when I do the post on my site, I click the folder, expecting it to be there. Is that the wrong way?

[mgdell]

Yes,  Click the little folder and click upload.  Do it right from your wordpress blog.   Once it's done uploading hit verify and it should work.

[debbievoiles]

Okay. I deleted the file I had already uploaded at Blubrry.com. Then I went to my post and clicked the folder and upload media. I got this message: Unable to obtain upload session.

[mgdell]

Ok..  Go into the services and stats page and re-login to blubrry.com using your blubrry.com login email and password.  Then try it again.

[debbievoiles]

I was already logged in. I should log out and log in again on Blubrry?

[mgdell]

In the powerpress settings, services and stats tab.  Click on the blue bar that says "configure Blubrry Statistics and hosting" and re-login. 

Then try uploading from your blog post.

When I try to click "Click Here to configure your Blubrry Statistics and Hosting services,” it doesn't show me a hand to click, although all the other clickable links on that page do. I'm sure I'm at the right place. It is underlined, but I can't click it.

Can you try a different browser?
