Do I need all episodes on one page for iTunes?

    I heave read through everything I could find and didn’t see an answer for what seems to be needing all episodes on on page or iTunes won’t pull them. Is that true? … My iTunes feed was missing the first 3 episodes and when I looked, those were on page 2 because I had posts set to 10 under reading settings. I just changed that to 100 and am waiting to see if iTunes updates but is that really the solution? .. What if I want to make my audio page public, I don’t want users to have to scroll through 100 episodes.

  • iTunes sees every episode that is included in your podcast’s RSS feed:
    https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/peace-church-sermons/id1069513644

    The WordPress setting Settings > Reading > “Syndication feeds show the xx most recent items” affects how many items are shown in iTunes. Just change that and you’re done.

    If you also have text content on your WordPress website, you should leave it around 20 and give the podcast feed an own value via the function.php file of your theme (or an own plugin):

    function ssp_posts_in_feed ($n) {
	return XXXXX; // The number of episodes in RSS feed
}

add_filter('ssp_feed_number_of_posts', 'ssp_posts_in_feed');

    I’ve set it to 9999 on my website, so iTunes receives every episode. ??

    The number of episodes that appear in your feed is separate to the number that appears on each page on your actual website. as Falk says above, updating that setting or using the provided snippet will sort this out for you, but will not have any effect on the display of your website.

    Cheers,
    Hugh
