How can I fix problems caused by uploading audio?
-
When I upload audio, it deletes text that is already there. When I look at the editor, it looks right, but when I update and view the page, there is missing text on the page. This does not happen every time I upload audio, just occasionally.

Hi there,
This is strange! Can you show me an example of where this is happening? I’d be happy to take a further look!
Cheers!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.Before I insert an MP3 file, the page looks like this:
http://lorettanotareschi.com/choral-music/After I insert this MP3 file–
[audio mp3="https://lorettanotareschi.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/i_will_lift_up_dm.mp3"][/audio]and update, the page disappears after the sound file following Spring Quiet.
This is just the latest time this has happened. It has happened on different pages in different ways.
Thanks,

Hi Loretta,
I looked through your Revisions and it looks like the code looks a bit off which may be causing some issues. I found some unclosed HTML tags as seen here:
MIDI Realization</address><address style="padding-left:30px;"><strong><strong>About the MusicIf you have unclosed tags it could cause issues with the layout. Next time, can you leave the page as is if it has disappeared and I can take a look at it?
Thank you!

Hi Grace,
Thanks for looking at the code on my page.I’ve updated the page again with the sound file and the disappearing text and will leave it as is for you to look at.
Best,

Currently, this is what I’m seeing at the bottom of your page:
Can you tell me which text has disappeared? I’ve looked through the revisions and I can’t find the text that as disappeared.

Sure, everything between Spring Quiet’s audio file and “About the Music: This joyful setting…” has disappeared:
About the Music
Christina Rossetti’s simple poem “Spring Quiet” evokes the shady pleasures of a spring afternoon spent in solitude. Its imagery includes a “robin,” a “thrush,” a “cool green house,” and even “whispering” air, enticing us to rest peacefully. The sea, perhaps representing the rush of the outside world, sounds faintly in the distance. I interpret Rossetti’s vision as an invitation to find a quiet space within ourselves despite the chaos around us.Sumer is icumen in (2012)

About the Music
The anonymous 13th-century round Sumer is icumen in is the oldest extant piece of six-part polyphony. In addition to the four canonic parts, it has a “pes,” or “foot,” which is a steadily repeating two-part bass line. The Middle English text is about summer’s arrival and features merry language about singing “cuckoo,” meadows blooming, farm animals nurturing their young, and possibly a farting goat (some scholars say “farting,” some say “cavorting–” take your pick!). I introduce this setting with a chorale for recorders that is a meditation on the “sing cuckoo” motive. The singers enter gradually, picking up the pace as they introduce the main tune. A middle section takes us into more modern harmonic and melodic language (with a nod to minimalism), again featuring the “sing cuckoo” motive. The last section reveals the full six-part polyphony of the original, with a new ending. Throughout, I alternate between the use of the flat seventh and the raised seventh of the scale, a modal inflection I believe medieval musicians would have appreciated. I dedicate Sumer is icumen in (Summer Has Arrived) to my friends, students, and colleagues in the Regis University Collegium Musicum, directed by Mark Davenport. This ensemble, now in its tenth season, has surely entered a summer of its own.Wake, O Earth (2011)

About the Music
Wake, O Earth is a joyful carol celebrating both the birth of Christ and the new sun of spring arising from winter’s darkness. The text, from “Chanticleer” by Englishman William Austin (1587-1634), imagines the “chanticleer” (rooster) at night proclaiming a new light and urging “mortals,” “angels,” and “powers” to “wake and joy” to see the new “Sun” (symbolically interpreted also to mean the Son of God). I have adapted Austin’s original poem to a verse-refrain format that highlights his notions of waking, joy, and light.Hail, O Sun: A Round for Advent or Winter Solstice (2009)

About the Music
Petrarch’s remarkable canzona, Italia Mia, is a plea for peace among the warring factions in late medieval Italy. Of his eight original stanzas, I have set six. My setting revolves around an idee fixe made out of minor thirds, emphasizing the bittersweet nature of Petrach’s plea. I also invoke the mainly syllabic style of Renaissance Italian madrigals, but break into melismatic sighs in the last movement, whose final phrase expresses Petrarch’s poignant wish for his country: “Who will assure me? I go my way crying ‘Peace, peace, peace!'”I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes (Psalm 121) (1997)

Do you mind if I went in the post and added this information?
Also, are you copying and pasting this text from another Word Processor like Microsoft Word? Please note that will create very messy HTML which can cause issues with the layout. It’s best to create your post within the Post Editor.

As far as I can see when I’m in the page editor, this information is there. That’s where I copied it from. I created the content right in the editor.

But please do go ahead and add the missing content and let me know how you did it.

Hi there,
I have fixed the issue with the tags and I believe it’s all back as seen here:
So, there quite a few address tags that are not necessary. Some of them did not have closed tags (which is probably what caused the information to disappear) and one of the audio shortcodes was not entered correctly. Take a look at this for more information:

Hi Grace,
This helps a lot. I am still finding it very difficult to format my page the way I want it, particularly with the right spaces between the audio player and the text following, or with paragraph breaks. Using the visual editor to put in spaces using the “return” key seems to create all those extra address tags. In order to get it right, I have to go into the html text editor and force the correct breaks. This is tedious. Perhaps there is a better way to use the visual editor…?In any case, thanks for your help.
Best,
Loretta -
Hi Loretta,
Are you positive that none of the content was copied/pasted from elsewhere? I’m asking because we normally don’t add the
<address>tag. It’s mostly being caused from somewhere else.At least for this post try editing in the Text editor. For your future posts, if you draft up your post in the Visual editor without copying/pasting from elsewhere your posts should format the way you want.
If you have any questions with the formatting of this post, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
