Recent information on invariant mass distributions of the $\gammap\to\pi^+\pi^0 n$ reaction, where previous theoretical models had showndeficiencies, have made more evident the need for new mechanisms, so farneglected or inaccurately included. We have updated a previous model to includenew necessary mechanisms. We find that the production of the $\rho$ meson, andthe $\Delta(1700)$ excitation, through interference with the dominant terms,are important mechanisms that solve the puzzle of the $\gamma p\to\pi^+\pi^0 n$reaction without spoiling the early agreement with the $\gamma p\to\pi^+\pi^-p$ and $\gamma p\to\pi^0\pi^0 p$ reactions.
