Hey Mike,

so all the posts and the podcast category will get deleted as well?

the reason for me wanting to redirect to my buzzsprout feed is that I will get rid of my website soon.

Thanks

What do I enter to have it show up under “unknown” season?

Is this issue resolved yet? I still see the episodes for which I recently edited the show notes under Season 1.

Thanks Mike!

Yes, please let us know when the issue is resolved. How do I roll back to a previous version? Is that relatively easy?

Great! Thanks for the super fast reply.

Hey team,

I have yet to redirect my powerpress rss feed to my buzzsprout rss feed. I am not doing this because I am unhappy with powerpress. Quite the contrary, you people are awesome! However, I dont think I will continue my wordpress site in the future. Therefore, I want to have everything in one place on my buzzsprout feed. In the past, before powerpress allowed spotify submissions I submitted my buzzsprout rss feed to spotify. However, I have had my powerpress rss feed submitted to apple from the beginning. So this whole time I have had two different feeds submitted, one to Spotify and one to Apple.

Now the simple thing would be to just set up a 301redirect with the Redirection plug in, because I already have all the episodes and show notes hosted on buzzsprout. However, in order to keep my GUIDs Buzzsprout wants me to import everything that is in my powerpress rss feed and then delete everything thats currently in my buzzsprout rss feed. NOW, here is what I worry about. All I have been doing is hosting the media files with buzzsprout and then I take the direct mp3 link that buzzsprout supplies and insert that into a new post on my wordpress site using the powerpress plug in. If I now import everything from my powerpress rss feed into buzzsprout will it copy the actual media files into it, since they are currently being hosted in buzzsprout? The only reason I would have to import anything is to keep the GUIDs. When I am taking that buzzsprout direct mp3 download link and inserting it in the powerpress plugin does that even create new GUIDs? Or should they be the same as the ones I already have in buzzsprout? I know this might sound confusing. It would be so much easier to explain over the phone.

Please help. This is what has kept me from doing my 301redirect for months. I have tried to explain my concerns to buzzsprout support, but they dont understand how powerpress works.

Thank you! I really appreciate the support

Hey Shawn,

sorry for just getting back now. I fixed the problem. So you can close this thread.

Thanks

Hello Team,

due to some unfortunate events I have not been able to go through with the 301 redirect. Now after coming back to this issue I read some more articles on how to move an rss feed. Many of them say that a 301 redirect by itself is often not enough. I am hoping to retire my wordpress site in a year and therefore wont have the PowerPress RSS Feed up permanently after redirecting to my Buzzsprout RSS Feed. I also read that it is a good idea to include the “<itunes:new-feed-url>” tag in the feed that I am redirecting to. Finally, will I have to worry about the transfer of GUID on my episodes?

Thanks for all the help.

Hey Shawn,

sorry I meant to say ” I will use the Redirection Plug-In you recommended”.

I know it is important to get a rel-alternate link on the site for google. Will google and other directories besides apple also grab my new rss feed link?

Thanks

Thanks Shawn,

I will use the podcast you recommended. So what will happen if I deactivate PowerPress? Will I still have the rel=”alternate” on my website? Also, will the page with all the podcast episodes still be up? Or will i lose all those posts on my website. I remember creating a category called podcasts so that I could have my podcast posts be different from my blog posts.

Thanks

Hey team,

does powerpress still have the built-in setting for feed redirects? I am hoping to set up the redirect asap. I found anothwr website that descripes the process of moving away from powerpress.

It stated
“If you host your own podcast using Blubrry PowerPress, you can follow these instructions to set up a feed redirect:

Log in to WordPress admin.
Select PowerPress, then Settings.
Under Advanced Options, enable Custom Podcast Channels.
Click Save.
In the PowerPress menu, you can now select the Podcast Channels option.
In the list of channels, hover over your podcast and click Edit.
Click the iTunes tab.
Check the iTunes New Feed URL option and provide your Pinecast RSS feed URL (you can find this on your Pinecast podcast dashboard).
Click Save Changes.”

Is this still a valid setting? Or is the best way to truly set up a redirect using the Redirection Plug-In?

Thanks a lot. Is there a video that shows which basic setting I should use for a successful 301 redirect with this plug in?

Hi, are there any security issues with sharing this information here? I dont want anyone using the log to find backdoors into my website. Is there no support email I can send my log too?

Thanks

I do not want to use pastepin. Is there a different way to send you the log? Maybe a customer support email?

Thanks for the help.
