Oh… yeah that’s gonna do it isn’t it?

That was a copy and paste, so that’s probably the issue. I’ll fix the shortcodes and get back to you.

Our site is getting this too. Both show feeds are no longer accepted by iTunes. Ugh…

So yeah, all of that is on me. ??
Thanks for helping me track things down!

So…

Being in IT all I can do is laugh at myself.
This is gonna be one of those PEBKAC tickets we all love so much.

Yep. Apparently, at some point, I was clicking around in SEO and left the post title modifier to “Feed episode title appended to post title” so yeah, this isn’t a problem at all, it’s a feature.

Now my question is if I disable this in prod, will it cause my listener’s podcatchers to see all the posts as new episodes because the name is fixed?

Thanks for all the help, I’ll try to go from 0 to panic a little less quickly next time ??

Yep. Running 2017 as the theme and the only active plugin is PowerPress.
It’s my dev server – I can send an email login info?

Can I hook into the function in my functions.php and say something like
if powerpress title != “” {use it}
else {use post title}

Any help would be great, thanks!

Hey Angelo,

Thanks, sometimes the tinkering works ??

Level checked that box and the problem persists. I also have no other plugins running and no caching (debugging on dev).

Is there a way that WordPress might be doubling up?

So, modifying line 123 if feed-podcast.php will effect the change I’m looking for.
Which makes me think the real question is how <title><?php the_title_rss() ?></title> is arrived at. the_title_rss() shows up powerpress.php but I don’t see anything obvious that would cause the duplication. I’m going to keep digging but if I have to replace this with the_title() or get_the_title() etc I can but… editing core plugin/theme files is of course a terrible idea.

And I’m not sure if changing the titles in the way will cause peoples pod players to see the posts with the fixed title (all of them) as new episodes. I *really* don’t want to cause my listeners to get a bunch of downloads they’ll just have to delete.

The only thing I’ve found that fixes the problem is clearing the “Episode Title” field (with the “Custom epsiode title for feed” prompt).

That will remove the duplicate title, leaving only the post title. The frustrating is that those are different very much on purpose. The Ep title I would like to see on iTunes etc and the Post_title is formatted as it is for use in my theme.

Nevermind that “Fixing” the problem by removing all the Episode Title fields means manually touching 156 episode posts :X

Help?

Here’s a bit of the feed, something is clearly inserting the post_title into the feed title…

Also, I’ve cloned my site to dev and disabled everything but powerpress and changed to default 2015 theme. The dev feed shows the same issue: [Post Title] – [Podcast title]

Any help on this would be great, thanks all!

Hey SSP,

I’ve got a client that’s a little over 130 episodes into the same problem. The files are basically just media attachments to the post. Is there an import tool of some kind? If not, +1 to that.

Thanks!

Hi Doug,

No thank you!
This plugin is amazing, I was super grateful to have found it!

Thanks for tweaking it for us ??

Anyone?

Yeah… that doesn’t entirely work. The App, Page and my account are all the same and I still get user hasn’t authorized 200 errors… this is just a pain to setup.

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I’m sorry it won’t work out, but I’ll take your advise and fiddle with DataTables JS myself, I’ll get something put together that adds up to a solution, though I doubt it will be as clean as TablePress. Really, great plugin!

Thanks again,
~ Dr. Peril

Or, as I think about it, a simple front end data entry would be awesome. A few required text string fields and a file upload field (the first column, File Name, is also supposed to be a link to download that file), that would solve the problem.

In the end, we’re going to have like 60 people adding data. We don’t want them all to be in the WP dashboard and certainly can’t have them all editing a 1000 row table manually, it would turn into mush. A front end data entry system would take care of that. I could just put it on a page that only x,y and z users or users of a specific level have access to.

Thoughts?
