Not event bothered to use a custom post type. The interface is a mess.

This plugin does not work at all. I tried it once, then deactivated and deleted it.
Later on, I decided to give it another shot. Somehow, even though I had cleared the WP cache and dropped any and all parts of the database, it remembered the podcast. So, I couldn’t import the episodes, because this stupid plugin said they already existed.
There’s no way for me to delete the podcast and start over.
Huge waste of time.

One-stop podcast solution
]]>Rating: 5 stars
I’ve been using this now for almost 7 years, with about 250-300 podcasts per year. There have been some blips, some caused by own ignorance and some hiccups in the software but all in all it’s been a real workhorse and has been one of the focal points of the podcast. The support team is outstanding and they’ve been gracious and patient with me.
Can’t recommend this enough…

This plug-in doesn’t work at all for giving stats. The podcast player is ok but there are others out there. I only wanted it for the stats and not only can I not get them to work the steps in the instructions reference tabs that don’t exist. I was looking for a paid solution to Anchor but if you can’t get this basic step right, that solution will not be Blubrry. I will find another podcast player and ditch this mess

Does Not Work As Advertised – Support Is Terrible
]]>Rating: 1 star
This plugin is so eager to push Blubrry hosting that it makes the interface convoluted and confusing. Doesn’t appear to support multiple podcasts, and continued to ignore the feed we input, instead using the site’s default feed. I uninstalled after 15 mins.

There are several ways to get a podcast and its feed up and running. However, after more than a decade of producing and managing podcasts, the Power Press plugin is the best solution. It’s easy to use, well supported, and highly efficient when paired with Blubrry’s media hosting. If you are worried your play won’t be as pretty as some other options, you are focusing on the wrong thing to make your show grow.

I used to like this plugin, but lately I’ve been having issues with connectivity and insanely slow loading. When I started to deactivate all the plugins, it turned out the Blubrry was the culprit. My review went from 5 to 2. Fix the plugin, and I’ll reconsider.

When you start your podcast, you will want to add episode lists and descriptions and a bunch of feed subscription links (itunes, spotify, etc.) to your site. This is actually much harder than you think-it’s not at all like a blog!
The PowerPress plugin makes all that easy. PowerPress is published for free by Blubrry, a podcast hosting service. PowerPress will work with any podcast host, but since you have to pay for hosting anyway, I chose Blubrry to make life easy. WordPress is complicated enough, this one was easy.
Great tech support. Happy user.

I can’t say enough good things about this plugin: it is absolutely fantastic for publishing podcasts on WordPress sites. I’ve been able to quickly and successfully publish quite a few podcasts for business and my clients’ businesses using this plugin. It’s fairly user-intuitive and even has some more advanced options that have made it possible for me to create podcast feeds with custom post types, categories, and even premium, password-protected podcasts. I actually have one website set up using this plugin to have 8 unique podcast feeds. It’s a fantastic tool in my podcasting belt for sure. I would highly recommend it for your next podcast project.

It’s just a sales tool for Bubrry. Adds regular posts rather than a new post type that can be handled separately. So you just have podcast sprinkled in with your regular posts.
NOt sure what they were thinking since they did put some work into it.

I am new, self-taught, and kind of an old geezer. This plug-in is easy to get a handle on. But even when I run into problems, the guys at SUPPORT are fast to respond, walk you through the fix, then check up with you later to make sure you’re up and running. I’ve had to connect with them a couple of times now and I’m guessing it won’t be the last.

Sincerely, PowerPress Podcasting plugin is more than I expected…
Thanks for your help.

Great plugin to manage a podcast directly from your WordPress webpage. I don’t give the fifth star because some options are a little messy and you need do some workarounds. But the support is fast, nice and very helpful (also there is a lot of documentation).

Has everything you need for your podcast feeds. It takes a while to learn everything that it can do, but it’s way above anything else I’ve used in terms of functionality
My feed (imported from Podpress originally) developed some glitches following an upgrade, but the Blubrry team were incredibly helpful in working through things with me to pinpoint the problem and get things working again.
Great tech support!

The settings section desperately needs an overhaul. It’s tab after tab of checkboxes that aren’t intuitive.
If you show up on the settings section with a specific task in mind, expect to spend 30 minutes figuring out how to do that task. That’s a very bad sign — the most common use cases should be immediately visible, with less common use cases deeper in the settings section.
The first two tabs are just a mishmash of promotion of BluBrry’s own items, like “Podcast Insider by Blubrry” and “Blubrry’s FREE Basic Statistics”. That sort of promotional stuff belongs at the BOTTOM.
When you finally get to real settings on the third tab, vaguely named “website”, the second option is “Skip Media Verification”. Is that really your 2nd most common use-case? It’s just tab after tab, and menu after menu of checkboxes that don’t make sense at first read, and are rarely core features.
Furthermore, they are in no discernable order. They’re not in order by popularity as they should be, nor are the even in alphabetical order. It’s pretty clear that settings and checkboxes are just added wherever.
Very much due for a complete UX overhaul.

I’m keeping my original review below the dashed line, but my review goes from two (2) stars to five (5) stars thanks to the quick reaction of the Blubrry team who reached out to me, organized a Zoom meeting and worked with me to fix the issue on my site, and also discovered a bug that they will be patching!
I appreciate the help from the Blubrry team and I am recommending this product to anyone who wants to podcast!

Original Review
I downloaded the plugin to my newest wordpress site and after numerous attempts to access the settings of the plugin, I am not able to which renders the plugin useless to me. The only thing I keep getting is a “you are not authorized to view this page” message even though I am the only admin on the site.
What makes this further irritating is that I have this plugin on another WordPress site and have no issues with it. For this reason I have to give a two star rating and find another plugin to use for my podcasting.

Hi guys,
I just wanted to say thanks for the speedy response I received yesterday regarding my query about my show not pulling through to the publishers.
Cheers,

The plugin used to work fine, but after updating this weekend, the plugin’s newest version inserts this strange text every time a post is edited or published:
Inds?ttelse af medie</span>”
style=”font-size: 14px; width: 95%; height: 80px;”
onfocus=”this.select();”>
The problem is discribed here

but still no reply from support.

I can’t say enough good things about Blubrry and how much I love this company. I am the farthest thing from a gear head you can get and Mike Dell has patiently helped me get my podcast up and running over the last year.
I have been a massage therapist and bodywork for 25 years, so you can imagine how all things tech are so intimidating to me. If I can launch and run a podcast, anyone can! Thank you for the helpful posts and episodes that teach me along the way. And thank you most of all for giving your customers excellent care and support. Mike, you have made all the difference with my show and I love hearing your podcasts!

It is well worth spending the time to get to know this software. The options are plentiful and it is a solid plugin.
I have had no problems submitting the feed to the various podcast directories – not one rejection.
It looks like the new version that is in beta at the moment I am writing this will improve a little on the interface. As it is a little cluttered now, this will improve the user experience. But this is a minor thing for now.
And if I could make a wish for the future – add an extra player that will only play one episode – the latest one. I have hacked my own player for my website that will do this, but it is better if you can have this as a shortcode that can be added anywhere.
All in all – thank you for a great and solid plugin!
