I’m at a new church and we don’t use SM, but I checked my old church’s feed and their Spotify feed still works.
Thanks for your reply, RSS feed works find on Apple Podcast, But Spotify has stopped working. Spotify support says there is an issue with the feed not validating.
This feed does not validate.
- line 26, column 24: itunes:explicit must be “yes”, “no”, or “clean”:
false [help]
<itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit>
I’ve seen multiple support topics about this with no sign of resolution.
I posted this about a year and a half ago: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/podcast-doesnt-validate-using-w3c/. They fixed it. The guidelines I posted in the thread has changed. This is the updated guidelines: https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390
Like I mentioned in previous post (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/itunesexplicit-is-not-set-properly/), I would NOT use the tool provided by SM.
That said, using the WC3 Feed tool, your feed still doesn’t validate (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fabidechurch.org.nz%2Ffeed%2F%3Fpost_type%3Dwpfc_sermon), but it isn’t because of the yes, no or clean.
Looking more into your feed issue. When you look at this link: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fabidechurch.org.nz%2Ffeed%2F%3Fpost_type%3Dwpfc_sermon#l2558, in line 2558, there is an extra keyboard space after ‘Revelation 5’. Remove that space.
Looking at line 258 some how you have HTML in your summary: <div class="wpfc-sermon-description"><div class="sermon-description-content">Graham shares part nine of our evangelism series "Spreading the Gospel"</div></div>. It should only say Graham shares part nine of our evangelism series "Spreading the Gospel". Without access to your site, I can’t help trying to fix that, but some how you have some HTML in your description field.
