PowerPress CPT / Post Type Podcasting Questions

    Currently, we have Post Type Podcasting set to correlate podcasts w/ our already-existing ‘sermon’ CPT. In the admin-editor, we have the option to enter the podcast into the assigned Post Type Podcast as well as the default, general podcasts input.

    Is there a way to turn off the default to limit confusion of less tech-oriented contributors? This seems redundant. Likewise, is there a way to remove the Podcast input from all post and page editors? I tried using:

    define(‘POWERPRESS_POST_TYPES’,’sermons’);

    in my wp-config.php file, and this does remove the entry from the default posts, page and other CPT editors (yeah!)… but I still notice the redundant standard podcast input fields as well as the one specific to sermons (???), and I’m not sure how to turn off the default completely and just use the one assigned to the sermons.

    The define will not solve the problem as you noted.

    If you never used the default podcast post type feed, you can delete it in Post Type podcasting settings. If you have used the default podcast post type feed, then the input will appear as it’s technically valid since it has/was used in the past. You can use the options feature at the top right corner of the Edit Post screen in WordPress and uncheck the default podcast feed that way it does not bother you when you do your editing.

    This does give me an idea for a new feature, to hide the episode box for a podcast channel/post type podcast feed. Not sure where that will fall in the priority but such an option would fix your particular issue.

    Hey Angelo, thanks for getting back to me on this. It makes sense what you said about using them (podcasts) in the past… it’s likely that back before the complete overhauling of the site, the church was using the sermons under the standard feed… which is good to know, because the media director and myself were kind of wondering where all those were going to.

    I’ll follow your suggestion and just use the options tick box to turn it off on those other screens–most of the folks contributing probably won’t go turn it back on anyhow… but I would welcome your feature update for those using PTPs vs. the standard feed, as it would completely remove that std. entry box.

    As I play around w/ the plugin a bit more, it’s beginning to make more sense… like I had noticed that the PTP editor carries over the same meta fields as the general editor, but it’s completely separate. This was a little confusing at first until I realized that it’s pretty much its own thing and the ‘standard’ feed is completely separate.

    Thanks again for the fast response. I’ll look at future update notes to see if that feature becomes available if you have a chance to bake that in. As far as I’ve come across, this plugin is definitely the most full featured and seems to have the best workability towards integrating more on a theme level than any of the other plugins and services we’ve vetted.
