Blog posts showing up in podcast feed

    I’m encountering an issue where my podcast feed (https://blah.localdev:8888/feed/podcast) is displaying partially incorrect information.

    The feed displays the correct number of podcast entries and the correct media link to each entry. However, the title and excerpt are incorrect. Instead of the podcast title, it’s displaying the title/excerpt of the most recent blog post. And it’s displaying that same title/excerpt for every podcast item.

    It seems to me something is resetting the loop inside of feed-podcast.php. I think it’s related to the get_the_content_feed() on line 422. The feed displays 100% correctly if that line is deleted: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/seriously-simple-podcasting/trunk/templates/feed-podcast.php#L422

    I don’t fully understand why line 422 is there. So I’m hoping this can serve as a bug report and it will make sense to someone else. thanks!

  • Hi @chillnc,

    Thank you for getting in touch.

    I have handed this query over to the developers of Seriously Simple Podcasting for you ??

    They will be in touch as soon as possible with further information regarding this.

    Just want to see if there is any new information available on this thread. thanks!

    I have exactly the same issue with 1.16.1. I am hoping this will be a case of downgrade potentially. I have a deadline looming and this is one of the last items to check off the dev list ??

    The issue for me was caused by the player shortcode within the post itself. Take that out and the RSS feed corrects itself. As soon as I paste the player back in there and update the post, boom!

    The workaround I have applied for now is to use the playlist shortcode with a single episode (current post) and then turn off tracklist.
    [podcast_playlist episodes="566" tracknumbers="false" tracklist="false" style="dark"]

    Everything else works fine for me. For now I will make do with the workaround or downgrade…

    Edit: Downgrade to 1.15.2 did not resolve issue.

    westofbeen: That’s great troubleshooting! Thank you! I can reproduce the problem and the workaround: if I remove the podcast_episode shortcode and replace it with podcast_playlist, everything in the feed shows up correctly.

    Hopefully this revelation will help with the bug fix.
