    Hello! Before I dip into the issue I’m having, I have to first thank you for this really awesome plug-in. It is seriously simple, just like you said but it does everything. ??

    Okay…

    Before entering my own descriptions for my podcast, I did some research and looked at what other (award-winning/more established) podcasts were including in their descriptions and noticed that many included links and other useful information relevant to that episode.

    Well, I wanted to do that too, so I did. Then I noticed that when I pull up the podcast, tapping the episode information (the three dots next to the title of each episode on the app page for the podcast) shows the information from my WP podcast episode description (just as I wanted it to) but when I hit the “view full episode description” (which is where all the other podcasts have put their robust descriptions with functional links) my podcast title and artwork show up but the description area is blank.

    I did read the other posts about iTunes and descriptions but didn’t see this issue posted anyplace else.

    I understand that this is a labor of love (and I thank you for sharing your love), and I’m patiently (although eagerly) awaiting your reply.

    Many thanks,
    Maxximillian

    Hello!

    I looked at my latest episode in iTunes and see that in the episode that posted yesterday (11/23/16) the description shows up with all its links just the way it should in the “show full episode details” section—thank you!

    Here’s why I’m back in the forum again…

    On the main podcast page, the previous episode (02), when I hit the “View Full Description”, still shows a blank page (just as before).

    I updated the description for Episode 02 (just to include better information) and then I updated the WP podcast episode page, expecting the change to be reflected in iTunes and then (inside the iTunes Podcast app) I manually refreshed my feed, but there’s no change. It’s still blank.

    I’ve perused the forum but didn’t find any suggestions on what to do about this. What would you suggest?

    And, again thank you for your generosity. Even working out these little kinks in my program, my podcast is looking great…like, award-winning!

    In appreciation,
    Maxximillian

    iTunes doesn’t show changes immediately. In my server logs, I could see iTunes crawling the feed every ~15 minutes. But once the changes were on iTunes after 5 minutes, sometimes I had to wait 20 hours until I could see an effect. I’d just wait some more time. ??

    Falk! ??

    Thank you for that explanation. I really appreciate you sharing that information with me. Yes. I see that everything is as it should be. Even so, I was at a loss as to what happened to make the change. Now (thanks to you!) I know what it was.

    Thanks a million!

    I am having the same problem getting the full description to show up. When I click the view full description, it jsut shows art, title and url. Maybe I am missing something. I checked the forums but could not find the answer. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
