I had to roll back to a previous version (2.0.26) because the latest version of this plugin (3.0.0) adds the meta tag “no-index, no-follow” for all posts (yes, not only the custom post types of type podcast, all posts on the site!).

And like other users, it also breaks the backend, making it impossible to upload new podcasts. Please test before updating the plugin.

WordPress. 6.7.1
Yoast Version 23.9

There’s an issue in your plugin where you’re adding a filter for has_post_thumbnail (function filter_has_post_thumbnail() ), you’re checking the global post ID and ignoring the passed through variable.

So where I’m doing has_post_thumbnail($post_id) (not in the loop) your filter is instead forcing it to check against the global $post->ID instead, please fix this and test your code more thoroughly in future when adding filters to commonly used functions like this.

I’ve upgraded to WordPress 6.7 Captivate Sync Version 3.0.0 (on a staging server) & I’m now getting this error message
Nothing found. Please check your show/episode id.

The plugin is working fine with the same podcast show_id on our production site

After updating the plugin, its dashboard is fully unstyle. I tried to update the folder path for assets and it is now showing right but it still causes a conflict with Elementor in which it removes the span classes inside heading elements.

Any news on this ACF support? I need to add ACF fields into your custom post type (captivate_podcast).

This has been asked before (this support post is 2+ years old!): https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/need-help-to-integrate-acf-with-captivate-sync-plugin/

The automated sync stopped working awhile back. Possibly after I updated the WP version. Do you plan on updating the plugin soon to make it compatible with the current and future versions of WP?

The pagination for the episodes list inserted via shortcode is inconsistent. On the first page, it shows 1 2 …8. On page 2, it shows 1 2 3 … 8. On page three it shows 1 2 3 4 …8. Is there anyway to make this more consistent and to at least show half of the pages available before the ellipsis. Right now, a user can only go through the pages one at a time and can’t jump to a page. I have changed our count from 10 to 20 to try to improve the user experience for now, but would prefer better pagination from the plugin.

Hello. I am about to redesign and rebuild a WP website for one of your clients. Before starting, I wanted to check with you about whether an identical copy of the WP website (a “staging” site) would in any way interfere with, or cause issues for, my/your client’s existing feed.

Here is what I plan to do:
1. Make a full copy of the existing website, https://www.[podcastsite].com. The “staging” site would be dev.[podcastsite].com, for example.
2. Redesign and update the site on dev.[podcastsite].com, including the posts template and styling of podcast episode posts.
3. Copy the staging site back over the current/original/live site on https://www.[podcastsite].com to make the new design public.

Would this process cause any issues?

Could not find anything in your documentation about this particular scenario. I want to be certain that I avoid any steps that may cause issues for her feed. Please let me know, thanks!

I’ve linked and activated the plugin to my client’s Captivate Sync account. When attempting to add podcasts, it’s doing nothing I clicked multiple times but no use, or when the popup opens so I select the required podcast to sync, it only shows the message your podcast is synced successfully but no media is showing still shows this message “No shows synchronized to this website, yet.” and I’m using this plugin in my local sever still the same result.

I’m a developer working on a new site and we’d like to be able to show all resources on the site that are related to a particular theme (which is a taxonomy).

Could we re-enable the standard post views (the list and the single) in the backend? Would this likely cause issues with syncing?

Dear Team,
Is there any way using the plugin to display tags underneath the podcast episode. I can’t find out a post module to display tag in my elementor post template.

Thanks in advance,

Mat

Hi,

Please can you help to integrate Advanced Custom Fields with Captivate Sync plugin. We need to add ACF fields to Captivate – Podcasts entry form.

Thanks

I’ve linked and activated the plugin to my client’s Captivate Sync account. When attempting to add podcasts, I get the following error message: “You’ve already got this show hooked up via Captivate Sync to another domain.” The message only appears on screen for about one second, then it disappears and I’m back to where I started. Any idea how to fix this? Can this plugin only be used on one site/domain?

Dear captivate team,

we have a problem with your plugin. Following problem:
1) we have installed the plugin
2) the synchronisation via API works without any problems, the episodes are displayed (via direct URL link)
3) we choose a blank page for viewing the podcasts
4) the page is empty (only comment section is visible)

Configuration:
System: WordPress 5.4.2
Builder: Elementor Pro
Theme: Astra

Our questions:
1) what are we doing wrong?
2) is there a way to access the episodes via shortcode?
3) Can the episodes be displayed on a blog?

We would be very grateful for help ..
Team of bitseven
