Integration with Seriously Simple Podcasting

    I’m new to WordPress as in the past I used to build my sites on Weebly, so I’m not up to speed on all the WordPress lingo, but do have a basic understanding of how it works.

    I have a podcast on Spotify (which used to be anchor) & initially I used SSP to import via the RSS feed, but it kept having errors during the process, & would duplicate episodes when I restarted the import.

    After many hours of watching videos & reading posts I came across your vdeo on YouTube about creating separate Podcast & Blog sections: https://youtu.be/gPAm3H_dZ1g?si=aSvNglBCCUO-BRwl

    The video says you can integrate with SSP to keep your Podcast episodes separate from blog posts. I have 62 episodes imported using your importer, and following your video I have added them to the category “podcasts”. As far as SSP goes, I have no episodes/posts, so how do I get my 62 episodes into SSP?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for using our plugin!
    It does indeed integrate with SSP and should support the plugin’s custom post type (called “Podcasts”). SSP has an option to work with the default post type (“Posts”) or the “Podcasts” post type, so it’s really up to you how it’s all set up.

    You can choose the post type before you run an import, and so if your SSP plugin is active it should definitely work.

    One thing to keep in mind is that you’d have to permanently delete (also from the trash) any previously imported episodes, as the plugin might skip existing posts within your WP site.

    Thank you very much.

    Did as you said & deleted the original import, ticked “Podcast imports” from SSP really long list of post types (source of much confusion for me), used your importer again & everything essentially worked fine. For some reason it only imported 40 of the 62 episodes, but I can live with that.

    Glad to hear it worked out!
    Typically when you’re missing episodes it’s because the importer skips items that already exist in WP (mainly based on the imported post title). If your feed contains duplicate episodes or episodes that share the same title, or your site already has a few with similar titles – this might explain the skipped episodes.
