Rss feed not displaying

Hi,

Thanks for trying Podcast Player and also thanks for reporting this issue.

I have thoroughly checked the Feed url you provided above. This feed is not working because images are used in the media.content section of the feed xml. For example, “<media:content url=”https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/ep-logo/pbblog3535561/grand2.jpg&#8221; medium=”image”>” in the xml file. These images are loaded in the player instead of correct audio file (which obviously cannot be played with the player).

I have created a solution for this problem. Please find below link to download plugin’s zip file. You should,
1. Backup your site (just to be safe).
2. Download latest podcast player (beta) version from the link below.
3. Delete already installed podcast player plugin from your site.
4. Upload & Install plugin you download from step 2. (How?)
5. Check again.

I will release official version later with some other updates.

Download podcast player Beta

Please inform if you need more help. Also, kindly provide the feedback.

Thanks again

Hi,
Thanks a lot! this fix works great!

I hope it is ok for me to ask – I have 2 more feeds that seem not to be working with your great plugin:

https://www.kolyompod.com/feed/podcast/

which results in no player displaying on the page.

and

https://www.omnycontent.com/d/playlist/23f697a0-7e6a-4e96-a223-a82c00962b12/1870742d-7e8b-424f-b3ed-a919008d58e8/5e84154a-096c-459d-b4af-a919008d58ec/podcast.rss

which breaks the page completely, so that nothing shows up.

Thanks ahead and all the best,
Rani

Hi there,

I have released an updated version of podcast player. Kindly update the plugin and try again. It should solve problems with above feeds. Inform if you are still facing any problems with the plugin.

Thanks for informing above issues. It helps a lot to create error free plugin.

If you like the plugin, kindly support by giving 5 star rating.

Thanks again.

Hi,
First – sure – I gladly gave the plugin a 5 star rating.

Regarding the problematic feeds – they still do not display.
You can see their pages on my website here –
https://podcastim.org.il/%d7%91%d7%9b%d7%9c-%d7%99%d7%95%d7%9d-%d7%a0%d7%aa%d7%95%d7%9f/

And in addition – after the update, this feed stopped showing –
https://rss.castbox.fm/everest/c3bea2429ccd4e7dadeca836e8e82942.xml

The feed’s page on my website is –
https://podcastim.org.il/%d7%9b%d7%a9%d7%91%d7%92%d7%a8%d7%95%d7%a9-%d7%94%d7%99%d7%94-%d7%97%d7%95%d7%a8/

Thank you so much for all your help,
Rani

Hi there,

1. I tried the Feeds and they are working on my server. Check https://vedathemes.com/docs-aamla/podcast-testing/. Feed data is cached for 12 hours by WordPress. It might be possible that they will work after 12 hours on your website. If not please inform me again.

2. (after the update, this feed stopped showing) Please update the plugin again. It Should work now.

Please inform if anything else is not working.

Thanks for your review.

Hi,

I haven’t noticed that you are using ‘Legacy mode’ of podcast player on your website. Please note that, Podcast Player editor block will not work with Legacy Player. You can use following shortcode to display your podcast.

1. Use Shortcode block in the editor screen.
2. [podcastplayer feed_url="https://www.kolyompod.com/feed/podcast/"]

It should display your podcast. Also check other Shortcode Options

Inform if you need any other help.

Thanks

Hi,
I am using this shortcode:
[podcastplayer feed_url =’https://www.kolyompod.com/feed/podcast/&#8217; number=’1000′ cover_image_url=” hide_cover=’true’ hide_description=’true’ hide_subscribe=’true’ hide_search=’false’ hide_loadmore=’true’ hide_download=’false’ accent_color=’#1e73be’][/podcastplayer]

But the feed is still not displaying. even after clearing the cache.

Is it ok?

Thanks again,
Rani

Shortcode looks correct. To be sure, I used following code and its working

[podcastplayer feed_url ='https://www.kolyompod.com/feed/podcast/' number='1000' cover_image_url=” hide_cover='true' hide_description='true' hide_subscribe='true' hide_search='false' hide_loadmore='true' hide_download='false' accent_color=’#1e73be’][/podcastplayer]

Try this,

1. Go to your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file.
2. Copy/paste following code at the end of functions.php file.
add_filter('wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', function() { return 30; });
This should reduce cache refresh time from 12 hours to 30 seconds.
3. Load and refresh the page where above shortcode is entered. (check if now player is visible)
4. Remove the code entered in step 2.

Hi,
I tried the whole process and still no luck.
I even turned off all the other plugins in order to make sure there is no conflict, and it still didn’t work…

Any more ideas?

Thanks again
Rani

Have you tried to add this specific feed from any other method? Like, Podcast Player Widget.

Try 1:
1. Go to Appearance > Widget
2. Drag Podcast Player Widget from left to any widget area on right.
3. Enter https://www.kolyompod.com/feed/podcast/ to the feed url in the appropriate field and save.
4. Check if you see any red color error msg. If not, check front-end if podcast player is showing in the widget area.

Try 2:
All steps are exactly same as Try1. But, use WordPress core RSS widget instead of Podcast Player widget. Check the results.

Please inform the results.

Thanks

Hi,
In both steps I get the same error –
WP HTTP Error: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds

Rani

Hi there,

Thanks for testing. Since,
1. The same error is displaying on WordPress Core’s RSS widget as well. and
2. I am not getting this error on my server.

I think the issue is not related to Podcast Player but perhaps something else related to the server configuration.

This link might help you

Please inform if you need more help.

Thanks
