• Hello,
    Just started using WP1.5 and have managed to create a post with a podcast enclosure. It works from the webpage [https://ayurvedahc.com/shakti/?cat=1], and it is found by ipodder. I have used a feed: ‘page.xml’ format for feed info…not sure if this is doing anything.

    My question is how to understand, create and link the wp-rss2.php and wp-commentsrss2.php pages.

    Here is what I have done to date:
    In the post I added

    “Podcast feed:
    https://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.xml

    Sadhana

    2. in advanced I put

    https://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3
    and https://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.xml but only the mp3 shows now.

    3. in the custom field i put

    key = enclosure; and value = https://ayurvedahc.com/RadioAyS/Sanjoy/sadhana.mp3

    I know to put the rss2 & commentsrss2 pages in the url/shakti directory,

    I tried to create an wp-rss feed but I dont know how to create a wp-commets feed.

    Here is the wp-rss2.php feed:

    <rss version=”2.0″>

    <channel>
    <title>Sadhana</title>
    <link>https://ayurvedahc.com/articlelive/sadhana.xml</link&gt;

    </item>
    </channel>
    </rss>

    The rssvalidator says:

    This feed is valid, but may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing these problems.
    Feeds should not be served with the “text/html” media type

    I dont know what this means.

    So my questions are
    1. how to create wp-rss2.php
    2. how to create wp-commentsrss2.php
    3. if after creating these, do I need to create separate feed pages for each podcast or is this a catchall?

    I’ve read through the forum threads, and studied at https://podcastalley.com to get to this point. Now I am stuck.

    A simple step by step example would be great for newbies like me. Many thanks.

  • You seem to be beyond newbie status (to me)

    I would also likemore information about how to correctly do this.

    the “automatic” part doesn’t seem to be working all the time.
