Hide player from individual post & use custom description for RSS feed

    I just started using the PowerPress plugin on my site a week ago so might be missing something but I can’t figure out how to hide/not include the media player on specific posts – I generally want the player to appear on my podcast posts but not on the one linked to above.

    Likewise, is there no way to override the full post content appearing in the RSS feed https://directorsnotes.com/feed/podcast/ as the Episode Description within the <content:encoded> with custom content instead (I thought the ‘Summary’ box would do this but it doesn’t) as is the case with the Episode Title? The reason being that we post transcribed interviews/articles based on the podcast episode to our WordPress site and don’t want those full Q&As to be displayed in Details tab of the downloaded episodes.

    If not what’s a way around this? Would publishing a second Private post in the podcast category with the Episode Description formatted as desired still show up in our podcast feed while being hidden from visitors to the website?

    Thanks

    Within the Podcast Episode box, there’s a tab called Website Display. Within that tab, there’s a checkbox for “Do not display player” that’ll keep the audio player from displaying for that post only.

    PowerPress does not have the ability to replace the blog post text in a podcast RSS feed. An option is to go to WordPress settings >> Reading and set the feed to show Excerpt instead of Full Text. That’ll put an abbreviated version of the blog post text into the podcast RSS feed with a link back to the WordPress post.
