In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateThank you, Angelo. I appreciate the time that you and Shawn spent on this. I found the page on the Blubrry website with the Subscribe shortcodes. With this info, along with the example you linked to (Geek News Central), I think we can create a Subscribe page we’re happy with.

In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateThanks, Shawn – Based on the terminology on the Website tab, I thought that by selecting the “Sermons” page, a link to the new Subscription Page would be created on the sermon page underneath the player:
Add a link to a page to explain to your audience how to subscribe to your podcast.
The following link will be added to the Subscribe on iTunes and Subscribe via RSS links below the player.
I never did see a link below the player.
I followed the steps you outlined above and I now have a stand-alone “Subscribe to Podcast” page. I still don’t see a Template (or a link) anywhere. Am I supposed to?

In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateOkay, I’ve tried twice to enter our website as a “link” and it’s not appearing. So I’ll just type it out:

In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateYes, Shawn – per my earlier post we are running version 7.0.2 which I’m told is the latest version.

In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateThank you, Angelo. We are doing a custom podcast channel and our page differs slightly from Shawn’s screen shot. I’d be happy to attach a copy for you to see, but I don’t know how to do that.
I can tell you that the main difference between our two pages is this: under the drop-down menu for selecting a subscribe page, Shawn’s page also has a box where you can enter a subscribe URL “if subscribe page is not hosted on this site.” Our page only has the drop-down menu; it does not have the box for entering a subscribe URL. I don’t know if this difference is important, but it’s clear that our pages do not match.
In addition: whether I look at the standard PowerPress Settings, or the Custom Podcast Channels settings, I do not see any link, anywhere, that says “Create a subscribe page from Template.” So I’m still confused….

In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateThank you for your continued help, Shawn.
My page looks virtually identical with yours. We just installed PowerPress a few weeks ago; it’s version 7.0.2 which is their latest. The link shown on your page – and mine – which says “Learn more about the PowerPress Subscribe Page” is where I got the info I quoted in my previous post about what appears to be a new, separate page.

In reply to: [PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry] Can't Find Subscribe Page TemplateThank you very much for the prompt response, Shawn. I appreciate it. However, I looked at the Website tab before opening this thread and I don’t see the info. What I do see are shortcodes of various kinds I can embed within an existing page. These shortcodes are for the PowerPress Player (which we don’t use) and for the PowerPress Subscribe embed widget. We certainly can use the widget, but the info from Blubrry seems to indicate that there is another option which we’d like to explore: create a whole new page.
Specifically: there is a section under the Website tab titled “Subscribe Page”, with a link to more info on the Blubrry website. When I click this link and go to the Blubrry “PowerPress Subscribe Page”, I find the following information (a brief part of which I cited in my original post):
How to create your Subscribe Page
To create your page, go to PowerPress settings and select the “Appearance” tab. Under the Subscribe Page settings, click the link “Create a subscribe page from template”. This will create a new static page in your WordPress site using our recommended template. Do not forget to click save.
Once you create this page, we recommend that you edit it and modify the language into your own words. Remember to leave the subscribe shortcode ([powerpress_subscribe]), this displays the subscribe buttons and your show’s artwork and title, optimized for desktop and mobile devices.
Subscribe Page template
The template is based on months of research. We include instructions on how to subscribe to podcasts targeting the following platforms:
iPhone and iPad
MAC and PC (desktop computers)
Android (Android based phones, tablets and other devices)
Your favorite application (instructions how to copy/paste the feed URL)
Bookmark this podcast (instructions how to bookmark the page)Shawn, it’s entirely possible that I am misunderstanding what is meant (that happens a lot when I deal with tech stuff) but it sure sounds like they are offering something more than a simple widget embed. It sounds like we should be able to create a new, separate page that includes instructions as well as subscribe info. Am I off track?
