    First time setting up a podcast and so far not so good.

    On our site, we use a plugin called “Organize Series” to manage Post Series.

    It seems that the Series we have created for posts are showing up as series of podcasts too, even offering RSS feeds etc.

    Confirm they are mixed as I edited the name from one and it changes in the other.

    Hello @eangulus

    Looking at the functionality of the Organize Series plugin, it seems that this plugin creates the same custom taxonomy as our plugin, namely series.

    The default functionality of Seriously Simple Podcasting is to use the series taxonomy to allow a user to create multiple RSS feeds for each series. You can read more about this here – https://support.castos.com/article/24-working-with-podcast-series

    So by using two plugins that create and use the same custom taxonomy, it will mean that the custom functionality of each plugin will take affect on any custom terms you create.

    There is however a way around this. Seriously Simple Podcasting allows you to customize the slug for the custom series taxonomy it creates, to something other than series so that you have more control.

    You can use the ssp_series_slug and ssp_series_taxonomy filters to change the custom taxonomy from the default of series, to anything else you prefer (maybe podcast_series) to give you the control you require.

    In a child theme or custom plugin, you can use the following code to do this

    Trying the code hasn’t worked. Doesn’t seem to be changing the slug.

    In the Organize Series there is a slug I can change there. Will try that too.

    Using the code above, It crashes my site:

    Just an update, the code worked. Just has some syntax errors in it.

    Anyway, it is working way better now, I am no longer sharing series between podcasts and posts.

    There is still one small error but am not sure if it will cause a problem or not.

    THe Manage Series Page for adding Post Series, is getting the feed URL from podcasts and a few other things there. If I turn off SSP then it goes back to normal.

    SO the code above is not quite complete in overriding the slug.

    Also just wondering why you use the series taxonomy at all? It is a very generic term and I would think it would be better to use podcastseries or something like that.

    PS: I am also trying to get Organize Series to fix their side too.
