Hey,

I have a site running the current version of podlove publisher on a current wordpress. Sadly I can’t create shownotes and I have no idea whats wrong. If I try to add one, nothing happens in the UI after clicking “add”. In the browser console I see this error about missing permissions. But shouldn’t I have them, everything else works perfectly.

Do you have an idea what could cause this issue?

Got the solution on this mastodon thread: [Eric Teubert: "@leah @aheimbuch @dnkbln Versuch mal bitte "Prett…" - chaos.social](https://chaos.social/@ericteubert/114931500418195470)

The problem was that I had to activate pretty permalinks: [Customize permalinks – Documentation – WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/customize-permalinks/#choosing-your-permalink-structure)

Now everything works and the subscribe button works better too 🙂 Tanks @ericteubert
