I have another question…
Here is another test link, I’m not sharing with the public yet.

https://nlcc.net/sh_podcasting_epi/matthew-chapter-12-part-3/

Notice the styling of the page. This is exactly like I have with Seriously Simple. Is this a layout and style that is provided by that plugin, that would be changed by Selfhosting, or is it a byproduct the theme I’m using (SiteOrigin “North”)? I notice that I don’t have the option with this theme to choose whether or not I want the sidebar on it.
I noticed you have designed themes, I don’t know how to crack open a theme to redesign my own template for this use.
If Simply has designed it, I’ll retire that theme, and go with Selfhosting; being the idea anyway, to manage my own podcast. But I was hoping to be able to create a template for the list of the episodes for a specific podcast, as well as for the individual episodes.

I’m guessing this might be beyond standard support?…

Greetings!
Yes, the text plugin reflected the two changes:
Feed page now says “Media URL”
and Podcasts preview now says “Watch”
(IMHO, I would suggest changing “Watch” to “Play”, as it could cover both Audio and Video files, and “Play/Pause” is a well known switch on many devices and/or players. In fact, after the Watch is selected it displays “Pause”, I would also suggest considering displaying both commands somehow, but I’d leave that up to you…)
BTW, looking ahead to support others, I use a Mac running Safari, but this could be with other browsers too, when I first viewed the new plugin, it would show “Watch” and then in 2 seconds it would switch back to “Listen”. I first thought it may have been a flaw, but I remembered similar experiences with other products, so I emptied the browser cache and cleared all of the browser history, restarted the browser and then the plugin worked as designed.

The link to the current podcasts is nlcc.net, and there are two pages with 4 different “shows” (or 5?). This site was built “as we went along” over several years. The church shut down September 2024, but we keep these messages up for the public’s benefit.
But you can see, I would much rather reorganize them a little better, and get more notes to include with each episode, which would be a bit of an overhaul…

Again, thank you for your time!…

Greetings!
I can see I need to go over instructions to complete a few things, but I did produce a test episode, and everything works except one thing – sound. All the info I entered shows up, I like the layout and the player, but no matter what I tried it’s silent. Am I supposed to “publish” the episode, as one publishes a page, and if so, where? I could not find a button labeled Publish….

The URL is the actual test episode:

https://nlcc.net/feed/gospel-of-matthew-2023?shp_preview=1

This is the Feed URL, correct? Note is says “audio”…

https://nlcc.net/feed/gospel-of-matthew-2023

I’ve only ever used Simply Simple, so I might need a little help…

I like the look, and already the player is better than what I’ve had!

Thank you!

I also thank you for that answer!

Alas, it’s still displaying the creation date as the recorded date. Can’t figure, since all the settings say different…

In the meantime, I’ve turned off the information display, and have the recorded date as part of the podcast name.

At least I can still use the series names to keep the lists separate, though I have to post them in order, else they show up in posting order…

Thanks for the help!
