@nikolam Awesome! Thank you.

As of 2.0.8 Three of the four issues listed above are resolved. Thank you!

The final issue is that if you add an audio file to a sermon it sometimes gets attached as an enclosure. Due to how the podcast feed is generated that causes those audio files to be added as an enclosure twice. There are two options to handle this. Delete the system generated enclosure or put your logic for enclosures into the system location. I elected for option A. That requires this change

Fix issue where podcast enclosures are sometimes duplicated
Open “/includes/podcast-functions.php” in Plugin Editor and go to line 133.
Add this

	function wpfc_podcast_delete_enclosure() {
	    return '';
	}

The go to line 139 or 140 and add this line after what’s there
add_filter( 'rss_enclosure', 'wpfc_podcast_delete_enclosure' );

Thank you

@funkydan2 & @andyjimmy Glad to hear it is working for you.

@andyjimmy Sounds to me like a theme or customization issue to me. Doing any customizations? I would suggest trying a different theme in a testing environment and seeing if that fixes anything.

The root of the breaking change for sermon excerpts is the migration to a class. As a result of that move a custom excerpt cannot access the $this object. Thus it is unable to access several of the required fields. I suspect that the solution will look something like this but haven’t figured out the details yet.

Also, the podcast feed will not validate on an https site. As the spec requires that the audio files be http. If the podcast feed generator could auto convert the audio links from https into http that would be great for my site validating.

Found a solution to the podcast feed issue if you are willing to edit the plugin until an actual update gets pushed out

Found the source of the duplicate podcast feed items
Line 430 of sermon-manager-for-wordpress/includes/template-tags.php
Currently if (is_archive() || is_search() ) {
Change to if (!is_feed() && ( is_archive() || is_search() ) ) {

In short Line 25 of sermon-manager-for-wordpress/includes/template-tags.php is causing the excerpt to be repeatedly added to podcast description field. Possibly other post types as well.
