Success! Thanks. ありがとうございました！

Finally managed to download database via SSH. Uploaded to new host and… SUCCESS!! Apparently the export from the 5-year-old version of MyAdmin was indeed the problem. I would be dancing around the room if I weren’t at work!! (^_^)

Old host’s control panel site is now down. Proving once again why I’m trying to get away from them.

Not editing, no. Just viewing, and not saving.

Any ideas about what’s causing the control characters to appear in the file? What do you mean “old host is right”? That they’re right about something, or that I’m right to call them “old host”?

Thanks!!

An upgrade of one plugin (PodPress) solved the issues I was having. Fixed!!

“Post tags” also doesn’t work.

I see. BTW, how can I tell what version of WP I have? I don’t remember what I installed, and I can’t find anything in the controls that tells me.

Also, I keep noticing that quotation marks and apostrophes show up in the iTunes feed as &#8220 and &#8217. Do you know how to prevent this?

Sounds like I’ll have to look into PodPress. Thanks.

Still puzzling over why episodes 133 and 134 don’t show up in my feed. Well, perhaps PodPress would make that a bit clearer — ??

Define what you mean by “enclosure”. Each post also has a jpg image; for the most part that doesn’t seem to be disrupting iTunes. There are also sometimes some other links, to other Web pages. Removing those cleared up the problem with #142, but I have additional links in other posts which ARE showing up on the feed.

Right now I’m just using plain ol’ WordPress to publish the podcast. Would using PodPress allow me to control other iTunes tags, such as the “explicit” tag or the tag that controls which image is associated with the podcast? (although it seems that there’s no way to change a podcast’s image in the iTunes store — as much as I’d like to change mine)

I tried that, but Feed Validator said it was fine.

It must have been something in one of the links to another Web page. Having other links (besides the one to the MP3 file) per se doesn’t seem to be the problem, but something about the links…

I took the other links out of #142, and it showed up in the feed. But I don’t understand why that made a difference when it didn’t for # 137.

I’m having a similar problem.

Some of my posts in the Podcast category show up in iTunes, and some don’t.

Specifically, #133, 134, and the latest, 142, refuse to appear in the feed. I can’t find anything that distinguishes them from the others. I though that having other links in the same article could be the problem, except that’s true of 137 and it appears in the feed!

I’m not using PodPress. Would that help with this problem??

I’ve gone ahead and entered my WordPress feed URL in the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag, but it’s not working; when I try to update the podcast in iTunes, I get an error.

My feed URL is https://www.deconstructingcomics.com/?feed=rss2&category_name=podcast

Is iTunes expecting it to end with XML or RSS, etc.?

The button will do for now. Thanks!
