Problem with feed title, content:encoded and itunes:summary

    The plugin is great, thanks for putting it out.

    The details of my setup: I am running an up to date WP install. I installed the plugin and set the podcast Post Type to “Projects”, this is the cpt that I use for posting audio on the site now. I went to the most recent project, added audio and details in the fields the plugin provided. The url for the project is: https://thisisouranthem.com/project/john-101-10/ this is pretty straight forward.

    Now, going and looking at my feed: https://thisisouranthem.com/feed/podcast there is only one item (which is right). The issue is that the title, content:encoded and itunes:summary are all incorrect for the post. Those fields are somehow being pulled from the most recent blog post.

    Basically the project audio is right. but the contents, summary and title are all incorrect.

    any ideas?

    That doesn’t really make any sense unless you have another plugin that is conflicting with SSP in any way. The feed uses standard WordPress functions (liek get_the_content_feed) to fetch the content, etc. from the episode that it is currently looping through. If the incorrect data is being fetched then it means that you have some code on your site that is interfering with the WordPress query and forcing it to retrieve the same post all the time.

    You will need to work this out on your side as it is nothing that is being caused by SSP.

    tj, did you figure this out? I think I may have the same issue.

    I did not figure it out. I wound up just going with the default.

    Also, in response to Hugh, I only run the bare minimum plugins for the site to run, I think I have 3. I disabled them all and was not able to resolve the issue.

    Good luck.

    I can’t explain why this is happening, but in the latest release of the plugin (v1.14.3) there are a number of new filters that allow you to alter the subtitle, etc. info on the fly. You can find all of that information (as well as info about everything else that appears in your feed) here: https://www.seriouslysimplepodcasting.com/documentation/podcast-rss-feed-contents/

    Hugh, this could solve my issue. Everything else about the plugin is fantastic.

    Where do I make these modifications? Is this the feed-podcast.php file or elsewhere?

    Care to give a brief example to get me started?

    You need to make use of the filters by adding code to your theme’s functions.php file (or a custom functionality plugin). Unfortunately, offering customisation like that is well outside of the scope of this support forum as your specific needs will need to be catered for. You will need to get hold of a WordPress developer to assist you there.
