# Initial Setup Issues

 * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/initial-setup-issues/)
 * I’ve been using a handbuilt XML feed on this site along with Feedburner. I am
   trying to switch over to PowerPress to use its feed. I’ve installed PowerPress
   have entered the initial setup data and added a few podcasts using the entry 
   fields at the bottom of my post pages.
 * Here’s a podcast post page: [https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/shows/tenkara-today/](https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/shows/tenkara-today/)
 * One my home page I have this code:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript"><!--
       function powerpress_pinw(pinw_url){window.open(pinw_url, 'PowerPressPlayer','toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=460,height=320'); return false;}
       //-->
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Is this correct?
 * I added this to the home page header:
 * `<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Ask About Fly Fishing-
   Podcast" href="https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/"/>`
 * Is this correct?
 * On the ‘Submit Podcast to Apple Podcasts’ page it says my URL is [https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/podcast/](https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/podcast/);
   however, that feed does not have the individual podcasts listed. When I use [https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/](https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/)
   it does have the individual podcasts listed. So which one should I use both on
   the home page as well as other submission places?
 * My Podcast is currently listed in iTunes. I logged into the iTunes Connect page
   and put in both of these URLS:
 * [https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/](https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/)
   
   [https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/podcast](https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/podcast)
 * When I tried to validate them I get an error saying “Can’t download episodes 
   from your feed. Failed validation.” What is the problem here? I have my audio
   files hosted on an Amazon S3 server. It has worked fine up to now. Is there a
   reason I shouldn’t be using Amazon?
 * Also, when [https://podba.se/](https://podba.se/) to validate it returns this:
 * Podcasts should have a valid <itunes:summary> tag, or at least a <description
   >.
 * Why am I getting this message?
 * Also, when I use [https://castfeedvalidator.com/](https://castfeedvalidator.com/)
   it will not validate the feed
 * Why won’t Cast Feed Validator work with this feed?
 * In the PowerPress settings it has a checkbox for “Wrap summary values with `<![
   CDATA[ ... ]]>` tags” Why would I want to do this? Should I do this?
 * Also, in the [https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/](https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/feed/)
   feed I see this:
 *     ```
       <image>
       	<url>https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/cropped-aaff-favicon1-1-32x32.png</url>
       	<title>Ask About Fly Fishing</title>
       	<link>https://www.askaboutflyfishing.com</link>
       	<width>32</width>
       	<height>32</height>
       </image>
       ```
   
 * I don’t see anywhere that I gave info about using a favicon image. Is this generated
   automatically? Is this correct?
 * I read about redirecting Feedburner so I know what to do about that, what else
   do I need to do to make sure everything is working properly?
 * Thanks for your help,
 * Roger
