No everything seems fine with the new update.

Seems my cover images for podcast feeds are ignored if they aren’t between 1400x1400px and 3000x3000px in size.

I don’t see any reason why you’d be doing such or restricting people’s ability to use smaller images if they want to. It actually kinda restricts people from using your platform.

I’m talking pictures in the description of the episode… Basically the place where you can tell the user what happened in the episode… Older versions allowed pictures in there in case you wanted to show a map for an RPG podcast or show off some fan art.

Unrelated though I noticed that pictures for the actual feed isn’t working anymore when they once did.

Been Looking into my hosting specs.

I do have a bit of a suggestion on what might be going on, I think if you put a lot of posts with a lot of pictures and file links it makes feeds longer and might crash the plugin or make something go badly, I’m currently adjusting my bigger posts into a separate blog posts and keeping the feed mostly link free and seeing if that helps. Because I broke the plugin last time by using a lot of photos and links all at once.

I’ve checked every single plugin and narrowed it down to simply simple podcasts, I went back to twenty twenty the default WordPress 5.3 theme seems to make no difference though same issue no matter what theme I’m using.

I’m running PHP 7.3

No it didn’t work as I thought it would I’m still having the issue with strictly this plugin I don’t notice any issue with any other plugin.

Update on my end, downgraded to 5.2.4 so I can continue to use my site, I was getting quite pissed off with WordPress 5.3 working with absolutely nothing.

I figured out what the problem was, it happens to be Enhanced Media Library as well… Shame such a good plugin is conflicting with Gutenberg.

Right episode S6E3 is the episode I played with to get it to work with 1.20.5

Haven’t had the chance to revert it back to the version I had with 1.20.4, a good example is any of the other two episodes I have in that feed.

I’ve never had an issue with the excerpt, only the description. This said I’ve updated the first episode to what it was before my own investigations.

I do prefer how the plugin worked on 1.20.4 as I run a private podcast feed for myself, therefore I don’t have to deal with google play or iTunes personally and I’m sure there are others who use distribution outside of Google play or iTunes maybe through a YouTube channel or a twitch channel or maybe their website.

Okay done.

It was showing the entire podcast description before the update.

Well everything seems to be working correctly as my sites working correctly its just the feed cutting out descriptions which you said was intentional.

That said I do wish we had a box to opt in and out of this iTunes/Google Play limitation for people directly giving out a podcast through a YouTube channel or some kind of third party website. Or are using the feed as a private thing (which is my case)

I’ve noticed the new cutoff only happened in a few episodes and those are ones with five images included and multiple links and Gutenberg blocks. It seems to be a thing intruduced with the new patch.

Podcast Feed: https://shinyprivatepodcasts.com/feed/podcast/dice-funk-season-6

Episode example: https://shinyprivatepodcasts.com/blog/podcast/s6e2-dice-funk-awoos-moving-fortress/

It seems to be just the new series I’ll provide a link. Although it only seems to happen on episodes while I have five or so images, multiple links and multiple blocks in Gutenberg. I’ll provide a link to the code to the example episode:

My own investigation into the issue has brought me to determine something changed in 1.20.5 and the previous version that is causing this change. Maybe a glitch with the new feature to cause it to be turned on be default despite not appearing to be on. My next idea is to turn the feature on and off to determine if this is the case.
