Display suscribe

Are you trying to display subscribe links underneath a media player or a subscribe page for your site?

I have trying to display subscribe links inderneath a media player. The ·Display Play in new Window Link” and “Display Download Link” work perfectly. The website is https://hablasconalberto.com/podcast and now the display subscribe is enable.

Thanks,

Go to PowerPress >> Settings, Advanced Mode >> Website and make sure all of the options you’d like for the media player are checked off and if needed, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

At the beginning, I made it, and all buttons are checked, but “Display suscribe” doesn’t work.

I used my own Custom Post Type Plugin, and it doesn’t work when I update the mp3 in this Custom Post Type. It seems thats that’s the problem. Can you help me? This plugin is very simple:

add_action( ‘init’, ‘crear_un_cpt’ );
function crear_un_cpt() {
$args = array(
‘public’ => true,
‘label’ => ‘Podcast’,
‘menu_icon’ => ‘dashicons-controls-volumeon’,
‘menu_position’ => 5,
‘has_archive’ => true,
‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘author’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘excerpt’, ‘genesis-layouts’),
‘taxonomies’ => array(‘post_tag’, ‘category’),

);
register_post_type( ‘podcast’, $args );
}

Hello @hablasconalberto,

The slug name “podcast” is pre-packaged in PowerPress (and with other podcast plugins as well) for use as the default feed slug. This will cause a conflict with your post type using the same slug name. There is an option in PowerPress to allow pages/categories to use the same slug name as the podcast feed, which also fixes the problem for Post Types. Read here for more details: https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/advanced-tools-and-options/disabling-powerpress/ This page explains there are 3 days to fix. The are the same for a post type. I would recommend renaming your post type slug to something else but if you want ot it be “podcast” then option 2 can work, that is the option where you configure PowerPress under Episode settings option labeled “Podcast Permalinks”, select “Match Feed Name to Page/Category”.

Thank you. I try it to do. I appreciate your help.

Best regards.
Alberto.

Sorry, but It doesn’t work. “Display suscribe” doesn’t show and I change the name of Custom Post Type.

What do you mean by “Display suscribe”? What are you trying to accomplish?

My problem is when I check the option “Display subscribe links below player and media links”, this option doesn’t show below player. Now, it’s checked and you can see in: https://hablasconalberto.com/podcast/

Best regards.

Have you gone to PowerPress >> Settings, Advanced Mode >> Destinations and added all of the necessary URLs to the fields there?

No, because I don’t upload my podcast to iTunes or Google, but It should show the options “Suscribe RSS” and Suscribe by Email”, isn’t it?

The settings in the Destinations tab is for you to populate your destinations on podcast directories that use your PowerPress podcast feed. If you are not using PowerPress as your podcast feed, then these settings are not useful, and technically, PowerPress is not as useful either.

But do not fret, you can use the subscribe shortcode without using any of the features in PowerPress (assuming that is your goal). Please read the documentation here: https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/advanced-tools-and-options/powerpress-subscribe-shortcode/ See the example titled “Example using the Subscribe shortcode for a podcast hosted on another web site”.

I don’t understand because If I write a post, then it’s shown. See you here:

I don’t want to use shortcode.

Thank you.
