Pods for Podcasts

    Hey guys, I’m going to ask this here because it may benefit others but some of my questions may be a little more specific and I’m already sitting on the Slack channel so you’re more than welcome to respond there at your convenience.

    1. WPBakery is integrated in my theme and yet the formatting seems off on my pods setup. Within my posts, everything is formatted properly – more specifically, centered within the page on Posts or Pages, but not on the Pods (it’s left aligned, and therefore, an eyesore). Any ideas on what I should do to inherit the layout across the board?

    2) I’m using Blubrry for podcasts and I have the archive page set up, but when I go to the archive URL directly, it doesn’t inherit the podcast player as it does on individual posts, so you see the URL it’s hosted at instead in the actual body of the text — in other words, it’s no longer a media type, it’s just https://whatever/the/mp3/here.mp3 spelled out and I don’t really want that showing up so front and center like that. I’d rather a) not include the podcast URL at all until people click into the post or 2) integrate the player properly. That’s kind of the idea of using Blubrry.

    3) I’d like to know if these individual pods have a dedicated RSS feed? My main reason for doing it as I mention in question 2 is that it’s for podcasts, and I’d like to make sure the podcast players are integrating the correct RSS feed without extra noise.

    4) More of an FAQ question, but I’m curious to know where the posts go if I delete my pods.

    Thanks and happy holidays.

    Hello @tamar

    1. WPBakery is a premium builder so you’d have to contact them about this.

    2. You’d have to ask Blubrry on how to get such a podcast player on other locations in your theme. We are not familiar with it’s API.

    3. If you enable RSS (feeds) for a Pod (Custom Post Type) then WordPress core should enable it.
    See: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-make-a-separate-rss-feed-for-each-custom-post-type-in-wordpress/

    4. The posts won’t be deleted and still exists in the WordPress database. There is only no UI available since the post type isn’t registered anymore.

    Keep in mind that by default the Pods you create just register custom post types or taxonomies in WordPress core.

    Cheers and happy holidays to you too!
