Thanks for the pointer MacManX. That is the resource I used to get into my current state :>

One interesting note: I didn’t take the step of “Then I proceeded to go to the advanced portion and add enclosure then the link to the mp3 (again?) as well as the file size and media type.” as joeytrimmer did but it showed up there anyway by itself as buddha has reported.

When this is all settled, someone (me?) needs to adjust some of the details in the codex article on Podcasting that MacManX referred to. There are a couple of confusing statements, at least confusing to me. BTW the codex is a GREAT resource.

I don’t see how this page answers the questions of the specific error I’m receiving in iPodder – it looks like it can’t get the podcast or parse it correctly for some reason… Or, why I have to put my full URL in the “Subscribe to manually” area instead of some title of the podcast as it appears others have done.

I don’t understand the instruction in the codex article that says that there is one other thing that I have to do and that is:

“You need to make your RSS2 feed available – put a link to wp-rss2.php somewhere on your page: https://example.com/wordpress/wp-rss2.php”

I have done this as you can see on my blog home page at:
https://www.podcastparadise.com/wp-rss2.php

As you can see the wp-rss2.php file is in the root dir of the website. This works, I think, as it brings me to the page with that looks like it is the rss feed page. It shows “all” the blog entrys.

Notice that the words “Link to the File” in my test entry are not an active link but if you go to the home page, they are. Also note that if you look in the “Archive ” section, the same blog entry has no active link attached to those words. I would think that this is a problem and may provide a clue to why things are not working.

Notice I did say “MAY” provide a clue. In the ignorance I may just be embarrassing mmyself by making such an observation.

Any way, things are still not completely working and I’m not completely Podcasting as others are. I must be missing some critical step somewhere…

Thanks, again, for your help. Once I get this fixed I promise I’ll contribute a complete step-by-step in the codex.

Well folks…

I have 1.5 (new clean install) working as it is supposed to.
I used the “link” process described above and WP automatically sets up the enclosure tag with all the info correctly so I assume that I am “podcasting!”

I am using iPodder to try to test my feed and am not successfull. iPodder log tells me:

“Checking https://www.podcastparadise.com/wp-rss2.php?category_name=podcasts
… couldn’t fetch or parse; exception class ‘SAXParseException’ “

My link in the blog is correct because when I click on it in my browser, I can open the mp3

Like I said before, WP seems to do the “enclosure” thing correctly like others in this thread mentioned…

I put the following string in the “add feed manually field in iPodder: https://www.podcastparadise.com/wp-rss2.php?category_name=podcasts

This is where I think I have the problem. None of the other items subscribed to look anything like this.

Can anyone clue me in? I have tried for a few hours to figure this out to no avail…

Thanks
