Hi Andy,
@ajdance thanks for reaching out. I know this sounds a little simple, but do you have the plugin activated? On a new install, you won’t see the Podcast or Podcast Series items available in the menu until the plugin is activated. The Series tab will show even if you do not have a series setup, but there will be no items available to add to the menu. But out of the box, when activated you should see Podcasts and Podcast Series available in the menu. If you do not, let me know what versions of WordPress and theme you are using.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.
Just to explain, the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin has been installed, activated and running for two years or so, I haven’t been involved with the site until now, so I can’t say if the menu options have ever been present.
We are running Version 5.0.3 of WordPress and Version 1.19.15 of Seriously Simple Podcasting.
Thanks again, Andy
Hi,
Apologies, just reread your post and noticed you also asked about the theme. The site is currently running a child theme of Twenty Seventeen (2.0), exactly the same theme as on the other site where the menu options are displayed correctly.
I have activated Twenty Seventeen, but it made no difference. I have also tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin, but again, no difference.
The only thing left to retry is to reinstall, but I am assuming that if I completely uninstall the plugin I will lose the current podcasts/series?
Thanks, Andy
Hello @ajdance,
You shouldn’t lose anything by uninstalling and deactivating and uninstalling, but before that try going to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus > Screen Options. In that screen make sure Podcast and Podcast Series are checked to show.
Hope that helps, Andy. Let me know how that works.
Hi Iviolini,
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. You were absolutely right, I just needed to select the relevant screen options and hey presto, Podcast and Podcast Series appeared as menu options.
Many thanks for your help on this, Andy
