Suggestion: remove 'publicize' support for password protected podcast

Are you referring to a podcast where the feed has been password protected in the podcast settings? In that case, the protection only applies to the feed itself and not the pages on the site.

You can use WordPress’ built-in post protection feature for password protecting episodes on the site, in which case Jetpack may or may not handle the Publicize integration well there – I’m not sure how they do things on that front, but it will be a part of Jetpack and not SSP.

Cheers,

I was referring to the publicize settings when publishing an episode. I’m removing them via:

add_action('init', 'remove_podcast_publicize');
function remove_podcast_publicize() {
    remove_post_type_support( 'podcast', 'publicize' );
}

If the podcast password only protects the feed, then this is probably only useful for those that want to turn off publicize for podcasts. BTW, I think you can specify publicize to show up on the podcast post type. But when it’s coded into the post type definition, you cannot remove it by settings, only programatically.

OK – thanks for that. I haven’t actually used Jetpack all that much so haven’t spent much time looking into the Publicize feature. I’ll investigate and see what the best decision is for SSP.

Thanks,
Hugh
