Hello,

Just to let you know that I have fixed the problem!

https://chinajedi.com/feed/podcast

What I did was remove the shortcode [ss_podcast title=”China Jedi Podcast Series” content=”episodes” link_title=”true”] that I embedded into every podcast episode in order to display a list of all episodes on each post – it seemed to work!

All I want to know now is, do I need to regularly add a new post or re-publish the one mock post I made to keep the feed live and working?

Please clarify

Thanks

So for the above issue I spent a lot of time reading other forum posts to try to find a solution. One thread I found was this:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/feed-showing-blog-posts-instead-of-podcasts-episodes/

As you can see this issue was not resolved and the person tried everything you recommended. I wonder if you now have found a solution to this?

I really hope so as I want to keep continuing to use your great platform.

Sorry to keep adding more messages here, but I thought it would be useful.

So as I was logging off I thought I would would delete a few plugins that were installed but not activated. After this I tried castfeedvalidator again and the feed worked this time! Strange considering it worked last week even though those same plugins were installed and not activated.

So the feed seems fine now (https://chinajedi.com/feed/podcast) but the real problem is now why the feed is displaying my x3 live podcasts but labeling them with all the same title (“What is China Jedi?”) which is the title of my mock post that is only published on the back end.

What’s strange is that in the castfeedvalidation results it clearly shows that it has picked up my x3 podcast feeds and even displays their titles, but the main title displayed is still the mock post title.

How can this be fixed? Is there something I have ticked or not ticked in any of my settings?

Many thanks once again

Chris ??

With regards to the 3 live episodes displaying the same name this is also very strange as they all have different titles. The name that is being displayed for all 3 episodes is the name of the mock post that I have published on the back end. Any ideas why the feed is only displaying the post name and not my podcast episode names?

Thanks again!

Hello,

Thanks for your quick reply really appreciated!

That’s good news about the feedvalidator however, I just went to double check the feed link (both https://chinajedi.com/feed/podcast and https://chinajedi.com/?feed=podcast) but this time a red message appeared saying:

Error resolving feed address.
https://chinajedi.com/feed/podcast
Unable to do basic feed validation…(https://chinajedi.com/feed/podcast)
This feed validated in 30.0876278877 seconds

The mock post I made is published. I also checked my podcast page (https://chinajedi.com/podcast) and it is displaying fine.

What has happened? It was working fine when I tried it last. Very strange!

Hoping this can be easily resolved.

Look forward to hearing from you soon

Thanks again

Brade

Hi Mike,

Thanks for getting back to me!

I ticked the box as you mentioned
Then I added the short code to my back end home page
Then I checked the front end but still no sight of an audio player

Any further suggestions? Sorry for the inconvenience

Chris ??

p.s – I sent you screen shots via email but don’t know if you can receive them?

oh forgot to mention! the url/website is brand new so no other plugins installed.

it can be found at https://www.chinajedi.com

thanks
