Default feed and feed-podcast.php

    I’ve been trying to debug a problem where my ssp_feed_item_author filter isn’t being called from feed-podcast.php. My episodes are all attached to post type ‘Services’, which are generated by the uua-services plugin. While flailing about, I created a new Series and added a few fake podcasts to it using the Podcast/Add New page. When I open that feed in a browser, I see the feed-podcast.php is being loaded and run. This does not happen when I open the “Default feed”. Does the Default feed not use the feed-podcast.php file? That seems hard to believe.

    I don’t have any redirections. I’m self-hosting. I’m not using any SSP extensions.

    I thought it might be a cache issue, but I disabled the podcast cache without effect.

    I’m debugging a copy of my site’s WordPress installation using PhpStorm on a Mac with local Apache2.

    Any idea why the default feed isn’t loading feed-podcast.php?

    Thanks!

    I discovered today that if I fetch the feed by clicking on the “View Feed” link in the Podcast Settings / Feed details page, it runs my ssp_feed_item_author filter, but if I use curl to fetch the same URL, it doesn’t, and is fetching what looks like an old version of the feed.

    Is there some way to purge the cache of this old feed?

    Thanks.

    I determined that even though WP Rocket had been deactivated, it still had a redirection in the .htaccess file that was fetching the feed from its cache, which was quite stale. Activating WP Rocket updated the cache, and now it’s working.

    Nevermind ??

    hi there, thanks for the updates and glad that all seems to be resolved. So that this point all set with your feeds?

    Things are working now.

    I was happy to see that I now could connect SSP with the UU_Services plugin’s “speakers” taxonomy using only a simple function in my child theme. Thank you!

    My next task is to see if I can get all the podcasts that are entered via the UU_Services posts to show up in a particular feed. I hope that’s as easy.
