Not all episodes showing in RSS feed

Hi @lorenzlm,

Could you specify which settings you modified on the Settings -> Reading page? Did you adjust ‘Blog pages show at most’ or ‘Syndication feeds show the most recent’?

Also, what post type do you use for your episodes – post, podcast, or something else?

Hi Serhiy,

I adjusted the “Syndication feeds show the most recent” number, and judging from the wp_posts table the post type for all episodes is “podcast”.

Thanks and best regards, L.

Hi @lorenzlm,

I can see there are 24 items there now. Did you see all 60 episodes before? And how many Podcasts do you have in the Podcasting -> All Podcasts section?

Yes, my wife has added two podcast episodes in the meanwhile. And the weird thing is: There must have been a time when the episodes that are now not listed have been in the feed. Otherwise people wouldn’t have been able to subscribe and listen to the podcast during its first years of existence using platforms like Apple Podcasts or Spotify. (Which they have.)

And there are 66 episodes in the Podcasting -> All Episodes view, of which 2 are drafts, 2 set to private. 62 are published.

Hi @lorenzlm,
So, how many Podcasts do you have in the Podcasting -> All Podcasts section? I mean not episodes, but podcasts.

Aaahh, I see and understand… Problem solved. My wife has assigned the previous episodes to a podcast, whereas the last 30+ are not. So they are collected in a different feed…

Thank you so much for your support!

Question: Is there any reason not to leave the last episodes unassigned? (And delete the assignments in the previous ones?) Otherwise we would have to reconfigure the feed information with various platforms.

Hi @lorenzlm,

Fantastic news that you resolved the issue!

Regarding your question – by assignment, do you mean assignment to the podcast? If so, it’s entirely up to you. If you leave an episode unassigned, it will show up in the default feed. Alternatively, if you assign it to a specific podcast, it will appear in the feed associated with that podcast. If you wish for an episode to be present in both the default and your additional podcast feeds, you can uncheck the Exclude podcast from default feedoption located in Podcasting -> Settings -> Feed Details -> {Your Podcast Tab}.

Thanks again! Now I know my way around much better than before!
