Ok. Sorry for the delay on some answers to your questions. Long weekend here in Canada.
So I solved the posts opening as attachments thing, but changing the permalinks to default. It’s not an idea solution because I like the esthetics of the %postname% permalink. For now though, I can live with the default permalinks.
So is this an issue with the way podPress handles non-default permalinks? Is this something we can look forward to a fix for in future podPress versions?
Thanks for your help, ntm.
