I think I'm a bit closer but not sure what to do exactly. I hope someone can help.
The new feeds are in categories, so for each category I've selected "Add Podcasting". I've done a test and subscribed to this new feed in iTunes and it's good. Now the next step is where I'm confused...how to change the existing feed address to the new one?
In the category podcasting settings I see some things that look related but that I don't quite understand. Also, I did not add these podcasts originally and don't know the original submitter's iTunes account info (but may be able to get it).
What I do have is the original (and now broken) feed address. We are getting emails from Apple notifying us of broken feeds. The broken feed address is:
http://webtalkradio.net/?view=category&id=96:the-economy-and-you&option=com_content&Itemid=57&format=feed&type=rssThe new feed address is this:
http://webtalkradio.net/category/podcasts/the-economy-and-you-with-will-kaydos/feed/I have created a 301 redirect from the old feed to the new feed as suggested above, and when entering the old feed address into my browser, I am redirected successfully. According to what's suggested above, iTunes will pick up this redirection, but it also states to use the iTunes <itunes:new-feed-url> tag. So, I went back to the iTunes settings in the category podcasting area.
I entered the iTunes Subscription URL as:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=307582386(I got the ID at the end from right clicking the podcast listing in iTunes)
I also chose the iTunes New Feed URL and entered:
http://webtalkradio.net/category/podcasts/the-economy-and-you-with-will-kaydos/feed/I then saved the settings. I guess my big questions are these:
Is this the correct way to update a feed url for an existing iTunes podcast using PowerPress?
How can I test that this worked?
I pinged the podcast using:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=307582386...but that displays the old feed address. How can I be sure that the new feed is being used on this podcast?
Any help or guidance is GREATLY appreciated. I need to change the feed addresses on about 70 podcasts and I want to make sure I'm doing it right!
