It is still possible to override the feed template like that, but I really don’t recommend you do that as you will definitely lose out on future updates. To edit the template dynamically there are a number of filters available, but it all depends what you want to do.
If it’s analytics/stats you’re looking for then I have a free stats add-on coming out very soon. It’s currently in the Release Candidate phase, so should be released in the next couple of weeks after some final testing. The stats are going to be tightly integrated into SSP and very extensive 🙂

Great! Looking forward to the stats update.
The thing I was trying to pull off was appending the title to each episode in the feed so that I could name my post “001 – Heels and Heroes” but it would show up in the feed as “Hello Alaska: 001 – Heels and Heroes”
Down near line 351 in feed-podcast.php
<item>
<title><?php $title.": ".esc_html( the_title_rss() ); ?></title>
That might be a nice checkbox option in a future version. Thanks again for the plugin, it’s great.
The stats add-on is now live: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/seriously-simple-stats/ 🙂
To edit the title dynamically like that you could always use the the_title_rss filter like this:
add_filter( 'the_title_rss', 'patrace_ssp_the_title_rss' );
function patrace_ssp_the_title_rss ( $title ) {
if( is_feed( 'podcast' ) ) {
$title = 'Hello Alaska: 001 - ' . $title;
}
return $title;
}
That snippet isn’t tested, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. You would, of course, need to do something more dynamic with the episode number so they don’t all just say 001, but that filter along with the is_feed( 'podcast' ) check is what you’re looking for.
I’m unlikely to add something like this into the feed settings as the entire point of building this plugin was to keep things in the dashboard as simple as possible. Given that what you are looking for is achievable by using a simple snippet like this, then I think a manual option would just be too much clutter for what is really a fringe use case.
Hope this helps!
