 * Hello,
 * Thanks for using PowerPress.
 * You set the explicit tag to yes on one of your previous episodes ([https://lifejourney.church/sermons/what-made-jesus-laugh/](https://lifejourney.church/sermons/what-made-jesus-laugh/)),
   since one episode is explicit you now have to make sure all of them are set appropriately
   and your show level is set to explicit “yes” as well.
 * Go to edit the latest episode (this is the one missing the explicit setting),
   check the box to update the episode, then select the explicit setting for it.
   After you set the correct explicit setting, click update to save the blog post.
 * You also need to set the explicit setting for the entire program. Go to PowerPress
   > “Post type podcasting” and edit the post type in question. Since you have an
   episode that is marked explicit, you should mark your entire program as “yes”
   explicit.
 * Since you have a mix of episodes that are clean and episodes that are explicit,
   you will need to set the explicit setting for every episode from this point on.
 * Just a recap, there are 2 explicit settings today…
 * **Yes** – has explicit content: Apple Podcasts displays an Explicit parental 
   advisory graphic for your podcast. Podcasts will not be available in some Apple
   Podcasts territories/countries such as India.
 * **Clean** or **No** – has no explicit content: Your podcast doesn’t contain explicit
   language or adult content, Apple Podcasts displays a Clean parental advisory 
   graphic for your podcast.
 * For the old iTunes desktop, “No” meant there would be neither an “Explicit” or“
   Clean” graphic for your podcast. The mobile app assumes “no” and “clean” as clean
   content. As of the end of 2018 iTunes desktop consumption has dropped below 5%
   of market share, we recommend picking “clean” or “yes” from this point on.
 * Regarding this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-feed-not-working-with-itunes/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-feed-not-working-with-itunes/)
   I do not see duplicate <image> tag in your feed, you do not have the problem 
   that you linked to.
 * Thanks,

 * Thank you. Marking an episode as explicit was a mistake. The show is intended
   to be “clean/no.”
 * I have updated the first five episodes as “clean.”
 * The feed: **[http://lifejourney.church/sermons/feed/sermons/](http://lifejourney.church/sermons/feed/sermons/)**_
   finally _validated when I set the “iTunes Explicit” dropdown located on the “
   Apple” tab of the custom post type show to “clean-no explicit content.”
 * I was expecting this tab to inherit settings from the setting tabs on the main
   PowerPress menu. It seems this is where the title, description, image, and other
   settings were derived from for this post-type show.

 * Hello,
 * Okay great.
 * Apple has been picky in recent years. You can have your program set to being 
   explicit yes/no/clean, and not touch individual episodes. On the other hand, 
   once you touch individual episodes the top level program also needs the setting
   set. Sorry for the confusion on that.
 * Are you able to submit your feed now?
 * Thanks,
    Angelo
