Where does Series show up?

Seriously Simple Podcasting does not have any affect on the frontend templates, other than to insert the audio player and the episode meta data.

To display the series you will need to modify the podcast templates in your theme. This guide will help you: https://www.seriouslysimplepodcasting.com/documentation/creating-custom-podcast-templates/

As for the player not showing up in the excerpt. It looks like the HTML tags are being stripped out there, which results in what you are seeing. This happens because your theme is using a non-standard way of fetching post excerpts. They should be using a standard function like the_excerpt(), but instead something else is happening so the theme author must have rolled their own excerpt function that does its own processing. You will need to contact the theme author about that.

Hi Hugh,

Thanks so much for your quick reply. That’s good to know the player is stripped out due to the theme; I’m working on getting them switched over to a more modern theme soon.

I tried to cobble together a function that would display the Series based on another forum question I found. It now displays the Series, but nothing else. Could you point me in the right direction?

function my_series_title() {
	if ( 'podcast' == get_post_type() ) {
		$series_title = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'series', 'Series: ', ', ' );
		return $series_title;
	}
}
add_filter('ssp_episode_meta', 'my_series_title')

You’re almost there – all you need to do is add your new text to the existing meta instead of overwriting it as you are currently doing. This updates snippet should do that for you:

function my_series_title( $meta, $episode_id, $context ) {
	$series_title = get_the_term_list( $episode_id, 'series', 'Series: ', ', ' );
	$meta .= $series_title;
    return $meta;
}
add_filter( 'ssp_episode_meta', 'my_series_title', 10, 3 );

You might need to add some CSS to make it display how you want it to, but that’s will do what you need ??

This is perfect. CSS I can do all day, it’s the PHP that throws me… for a loop ??
Thanks for your help!

Happy to help ??

If this has helped you then please support continued development by leaving a review ??
