PowerPress/ Blubrry plugin to SSP

Hi @lowellwashere25,

Our plugin supports moving from PowerPress out of the box. The only difference is that PowerPress usually use Posts for their episodes, and SSP uses the custom post type Podcast by default.

So here are your steps:
1. Install SSP
2. Disable PowerPress.
3. Go to Podcasting -> General -> Podcast post types, check Posts and save the setting.

Of course, I would suggest doing these steps on your development site first and making a backup before it.

Please let me know how it went and if you had any issues after the move.

Hope this helps and best regards,
Sergiy.

Hi @lowellwashere25,

I have also found an article that describes this process – https://support.castos.com/article/108-migrate-your-podcast-from-powerpress-and-blubrry-to-your-wordpress-website

Hope it helps you with it as well.

Thank you for the links. It doesn’t look like this works though. I can get the posts to have a spot for your apps plugin similar to powerpress, but it doesn’t auto update it to that posts episode. I think I may have to go through each episode > click edit> go to the plugin section>re-add link to the episode>click save.

Hi @lowellwashere25,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It looks like our latest version doesn’t support the latest PowerPress version. We’ll fix it in the following plugin releases.

Meanwhile, could you please try to put the following code in your functions.php file?

function ssp_get_file_url_by_enclosure( $episode_id ){
	$file = get_post_meta( $episode_id, 'enclosure', true );
	if ( is_string( $file ) && preg_match('/\s/',$file) ) {
		$file = preg_split( '/\s/', $file );
		$file = isset( $file[0] ) ? $file[0] : '';
	}
	return $file;
}

add_filter( 'default_post_metadata', function ( $value, $object_id, $meta_key ) {
	if( 'audio_file' !== $meta_key || $value ){
		return $value;
	}
	return ssp_get_file_url_by_enclosure( $object_id );
}, 10, 3 );

add_filter( 'ssp_episode_enclosure', function ( $file, $episode_id ) {
	return $file ?: ssp_get_file_url_by_enclosure( $episode_id );
}, 10, 2 );

Best regards,
Sergiy.
