Shawn – thank you for getting back.
The artwork URL is: https://archive.org/download/bigger-insights-podcast-technology-audio/Bigger-Insights-Technology-Podcast-Art-Cover.png
It is a valid URL and we use this exact file for our Technology podcast, which is accepted by Apple, Spotify, et al., so we don’t believe this is an issue with the URL or the image.
It appears the issue is that PowerPress won’t allow the provided artwork URL to be saved unless the artwork was first uploaded to our website, but we don’t want the artwork to be hosted on our website. Is there any way to force PowerPress to accept the URL?
We should also point out that when we click the Save Changes button, PowerPress reverts the Apple Podcast Artwork URL back to what we had before, but the RSS2 Image field allows the archive.org link, which is odd.
Shawn – Thank you for getting back.
For our “Finance” category, we set the Feed Landing Page URL to: https://biggerinsights.com/bigger-insights-podcast/finance/
However, despite this being a valid page and PowerPress not throwing any errors, it will not set our actual landing page to this URL. Instead, no matter what URL we provide to Feed Landing Page URL, it always places the default “Category page URL” into our RSS feed, which is the following URL in our case: https://biggerinsights.com/category/finance/
Our RSS feed is: https://biggerinsights.com/category/finance/feed/podcast/
You can see that the provided landing page URL is not being inserted into the RSS feed, but we have no idea why. In fact, we’ve just set the Feed Landing Page URL to our homepage (https://biggerinsights.com/) and that didn’t work either. When we saved this change, PowerPress showed message “Blubrry PowerPress Category Podcasting settings saved.” but when we regenerated the RSS, it is still showing the category URL.
