That’s quite a lot to rebuild.

The good news is we haven’t lost anything. I will re-upload every single file from our backed-up folders, which will take some time.

I apologize for this temporary inconvenience.

The old plugin we have been using, ‘List ‘Yo Files‘ (we have used it on this site since January 2012) which listed the entire Commercials folder/files with bullet points  (and the above 17 other file pages listed here), as of today, the old plugin will not be in use with the new WordPress PHP security 7.3 upgrade. (If I chose to reactivate its use, the site will not function properly. Older and outdated plugins — not kept updated by the responsible party — can disrupt normal operations or create issues to any site, such as having experienced, according to WordPress).

We were aware for some time that the plugin’s upgrades (by the plugin’s creator) apparently has stopped for some years already. 

No longer PHP upgrade compatible, the audio files which the plugin supported was deactivated by WordPress to bring the site back to its normal operations. And along with the plugin’s deactivation went the audio folders and files.

This has happened before. The only remedy was to revert the PHP to an earlier number (in the last case it was reverting back to PHP 5.4 last November). WordPress will not do that any more.  Realized, the out-dated plugin essentially outlived its purpose on this site after WordPress elevated the site’s PHP security code to 7.3 — a must requirement — sometime on September 30.

Please bear with me as I begin to manually rebuild these pages, working from the top down, as they were previously featured here (but please be mindful, either or — between posting daily features on the site and dealing with the task at hand — these uploads will be taking much time as well. The above noted three will take the most time).

Also, in lieu of all this, there may be some days during the week you may not find new posts and features on this page. On certain days I will be working more in expediting the files back up on this site (there is no one else running this website — only me).

We will inform all our Motor City Radio Flashbacks friends when each task has been completed. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for your patience.
