All the directories are now up to date. Cloudflare’s BotFightMode was to blame.

Interestingly the Blubrry directory was also being blocked by CloudFlare’s BotFight mode. You might want to look into getting whitelisted. https://blubrry.com/novel_marketing/

Stitcher just updated! For those of you searching online, it does appear that BotFightMode was the problem blocking RSS feeds from updating. I am still waiting on the other directories before I solve this issue.

I just turned off Bot Fight Mode at Cloudflare. My current theory is that Cloudflare is blocking the scrapper bots from some of the directories.

Castbox is also failing to pull in new episodes if that helps.

Thank Mike,

I played with that solution. The issue is that I’m looking for a way to use the fancy Blubrry player with the album art, subscribe and share buttons. Is there a way to do this with the full Blubrry player?

Can you give us some more information? Which page is conflicting? What is the URL of both pages?

Also, you can enable the classical editor plugin temporarily to re-enable our shortcode inserter.

Rm,

Here are the shortcode options:
[mybooktable book=”book-slug” display=”default” buybutton_shadowbox=”true”]
[mybooktable book=”book-slug” display=”summary” buybutton_shadowbox=”false”]
[mybooktable book=”book-slug” display=”buybuttons” buybutton_shadowbox=”false”][mybooktable book=”book-slug” display=”cover+buybuttons” buybutton_shadowbox=”false”]

I disconnected from Blubrry and reconnected, and fiddled with some other settings and it is working now.

I don’t think so. That said, I am not a lawyer.

The shortcodes still work, you just need to add them by hand. We have a guide on how to do that here.

We are looking into a new way to add the shortcode inserter back, but right now the only way to get it back is with the classic editor plugin.

What about appending a text line at the end of the feed that says something like: Original | Share | Subscribe | Donate

Original would link to the post’s permalink
Share would link to the social share interface (if they have blubrry hosting otherwise not available) or you could link to a 3rd part social share service like addthis or sharethis.
Subscribe would link to the subscribe page designated in PowerPress
Donate would link to the donate link designated in PowerPress

Could you append it to the end of “Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed” so it would read: “Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed | Donate”

If you added that I would love to have you on the Creative Funding Show to talk about the feature. I would also connect you with my contacts at Patreon to see if they would promote the feature as well.
