 * Has anyone had issues with the shortcode. I did a search but couldn’t find much.
   [https://www.werleyfit.com/sew-fit-podcast/](https://www.werleyfit.com/sew-fit-podcast/)–
   The only reason this is showing something is because I used the tool at the bottom
   of the page to integrate 1 podcast. However, the shortcode is not displaying 
   anything.

 * Please reply with the shortcode text as you’ve entered it into your site so we
   can get a better idea of what’s going on.

 * One thing to try is to make sure you’re entering the shortcode while the editor
   is in text mode instead of visual mode.
 * If that doesn’t help, you can try some of the diagnostic options listed on this
   page:

 * Hello Steve,
 * Can you reply with the URL to the podcast feed that complements the blog post?
   I think sew-fit-podcast/ is a “page” not a “post”, checking out the feed will
   confirm if that’s the case.
 * If you are just entering the player manually into the blog post, make sure you
   use the https:// version of the iFrame for the player (it should provide you 
   this by default from our publisher interface).
 * Thanks,
    Angelo

 * Hey, Angelo, I am trying to use the shortcode on a page, is that the issue? I
   don’t know why you would want to integrate an entire feed in a post. I do some
   WP development so I assume you can integrate it on a page with a shortcode.
 * As for the feed, it’s [https://www.werleyfit.com/feed/podcast/](https://www.werleyfit.com/feed/podcast/)

 * Hello Steve,
 * Sorry for the delay.
 * The podcast concept ties together blogging with extra meta data such as iTunes
   specific tags to a blog post. Blog posts are natively organized by date, as news,
   exactly the same as podcasting. Putting them in pages, which are organized by
   a tree structure rather than by date. For this reason you cannot podcast (and
   have a feed organized by time) in pages.
 * The feed URL has a different issue, the SSL certificate does not seem to work
   for the host name. You will have all sorts of issues until you get the SSL certificate
   correct for the site. The error code in Firefox is SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN.
   Chrome shows a similar error.
 * Thanks,
    Angelo
