Thanks! I will begin updating theme, plugins etc and will let you know if I recreate the issue. However, I am thinking at this point it was an error on the GoDaddy side that the refresh of the server fixed.

Update – problem was corrected by reverting to a known good backup. In addition a refresh of the server was necessary after switching hosting plans. iTunes feed is now being recognized as https://chiropracticscience.com/?feed=podcast

So, at this point, should I just leave the current feed as https://chiropracticscience.com/?feed=podcast even though in the publishing section of SSP it says https://chiropracticscience.com/feed/podcast as the RSS feed? If you think a switch is a good idea how would I do it. Thanks in advance.

OK, I turned off all plugins except SSP and it did not seem to affect the behavior but I did notice that after I turned on the plugins again and cleared cache that both feeds only showed the description and no episode details but after about 30 minutes this feed https://chiropracticscience.com/feed/podcast worked with both details and description and seems to continue to work.

One thing to note perhaps is that I upgraded to new hosting on godaddy recently (was with godaddy before also) and the old archived site which is https://z9q.9ce.myftpupload.com/ works for both feeds in terms of description and details.

Also, I just checked on iTunes (https://podcastsconnect.apple.com) and it confirms the error with https://chiropracticscience.com/?feed=podcast and that “no episodes exist”. It looks like I could easily change it to the new feed but not sure if the above redirect steps etc are necessary. Also willing to consider consultation fee to help fix this. Thanks.

Thanks for the plugin checker link, I will do that. So to change the feed to https://chiropracticscience.com/feed/podcast do I just go to iTunes and the other podcasting apps (e.g. spotify, etc) and change it to this feed and that is it? I’ve read about steps like: HTTP 301 redirect, <itunes:new-feed-url> and others but I really don’t know what to do and don’t want to mess things up. I appreciate your help.

Update: So, the podcast plays on iTunes and a few other podcast apps but apps I have not used before do not load any episodes. Help. Not sure what I should do.

Thanks for your reply! I think I figured out the issue. My feed used to be https://chiropracticscience.com/?feed=podcast but now it is https://chiropracticscience.com/feed/podcast on my settings, publishing page as the “complete feed”.

I’m sure I did not change the feed address so I’m not sure how it changed, but everything is working well (e.g., it plays on iTunes, podcast apps etc) and going to https://chiropracticscience.com/feed/podcast does list the description and all the episodes.

However, when I go to https://getrssfeed.com/ it says iTunes has my RSS as https://chiropracticscience.com/?feed=podcast . Is this something to worry about since everything is working well?

Thanks Jonathan

Update: I reverted back to 1.18.1 and all works and download file and play in new window are back. One other thing to note. When I switched to the new version, my icons changed in my widgets but upon switching back to version 1.18.1 they now work again. Not sure what that means…maybe you do.

Awesome! Thanks!

Hi, I am running the latest version of wordpress and PHP 5.4. There is a message in my dashboard that says…The Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin requires PHP 5.5 or later. Please upgrade your PHP version or deactivate the plugin.

Can I install the previous version of the plugin? If so, how? Also, my current hosting plan with godaddy has a max PHP version of 5.4. Help?

Thanks Falk. I will check this out. I am presently waiting for my SSL to come online. Appreciate your response and am encouraged that all worked well with your site. Am thinking about using Really Simple SSL to accomplish redirecting my entire site. Any thoughts on this strategy?

Figured this out.

Just go to iTunes…podcasts…submit a podcast…then enter your podcast feed url provided by Seriously Simple Podcasting in the settings (complete feed).
