Alright will do that. By the way, do you think re-submitting the exact same feed url to itunes will help? Because most probably, when itunes delisted the podcast, the feed still had some issues with the unwanted episode. But now that has been removed and the feed is corrected, is re-submitting the way to go?
Again Shawn, you are a life saver. Much appreciated.
Shawn,
I followed your steps and also changed the status of the blog post from 2017 to ‘Draft’. Now, I think that one of those steps removed that old episode that I don’t want. When I click feed validate (BluBrry PowerPress Advanced Settings) through CastFeedValidator.com, I just see the episodes that I want. So I think my feed is perfectly fine now.
But a couple of days ago, itunes just removed my podcast. I have no clue why. Maybe it had to do something with the unwanted episode.
But as of today, as I wrote above, I have a perfectly fine feed. So should I submit the exact same feed again to itunes?
Again, thank you so much for all of your help.
Hello Shawn,
Thank you for your response. This brings me to my initial problem. I will try to be as concise and clear as possible.
I installed Blubrry Powerpress in wordpress a couple of weeks ago to submit my podcast to itunes. When I made the first episode and submitted it (via a blogpost), it showed up perfectly fine on itunes. But the issue was that Powerpress also picked up an episode from a blog post from 2017. I have no clue why Powerpress did that. So now on my itunes listing there are two episodes: one recent (which I want) and one from 2017 which I desperately want to remove. To remove that episode I tried the following solutions but to no avail.
1. Change the ‘Number of Episodes to show on itunes’ to 1 (inside Powerpress advanced settings) so that itunes only shows the episode I want. I made this change a week ago but itunes still shows 2 episodes.
2. Removed the media link from the Blubrry box (where you have the ‘Verify Media’ button) inside the 2017 blog post. But this didn’t work as well. I am still confused as to why BluBrry autofilled that box in the first place.
3. Contact itunes support but they haven’t responded yet.
Removing the entire 2017 blogpost is not an option as it is a news article and important to my site. Can you please guide me to what I am doing wrong or missing?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
