Hosting my media file outside WordPress

Anchor may, or may not provide the .mp3 link to you easily.

However, you can look at your RSS feed and determine it.

If you’d share your Anchor podcast here, I will show you how to find it specifically.

Otherwise, I googled for some info that would be helpful, and the following website will help explain how to find, and explain RSS Feeds in more detail:

https://reddicediaries.com/tutorial/how-to-find-the-rss-feed-of-an-anchor-podcast/

I searched the rss feed from the site listed above for .mp3, and one of the results was the following:

[audio src="https://anchor.fm/s/55de8b4/podcast/play/22526528/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2020-10-12%2F65b1d955-0d17-f416-c7d4-e001e66720b4.mp3" /]

If you enter this in a browser, for instance, you can play this .mp3.

That is a long link, to be sure.

Anchor offers this info on finding your feed:

Thank you for your response, I will surely share my RSS link, here is it:

Going through my RSS feed, I think 8 have gotten the trick. Here is the media file for the recent episode I just uploaded, check through if I am right?..

Ok Kudabo,

I opened up that feed, and searched for “.mp3”. The first result was for episode 6, and the link to that mp3 file is: https://anchor.fm/s/13be18d4/podcast/play/24220127/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2020-11-20%2Fcdc88d9e-9fcd-b292-ea84-e6d4d9a1277d.mp3

I tested to insure that link worked directly, and it does.

The other episodes all have their own unique mp3 file address.

Thank you so much, I think with this I don’t have to worry about hosting the media files on my WordPress dashboard.

Just saw your followup post. Notice we each picked the same mp3 file, but I have ONLY the link to the mp3 file. It is important that when you share this link directly or on your website, you are using only the information as I have listed above. The additional info you have at the beginning and end will cause the file to NOT work as a link. ??

Oh, great

I will surely keep this at heart

Gracias..
