Yeah I'm also still on 3.3 and have the exact same issue in my sandbox testing environment. Wasn't sure if was something I was doing wrong or just an issue in the code.

Do you mind testing the beta version to see if it fixes this for wp 3.3.x? Just use the contact firm and request it www.blubrry.com/contact.php

using the beta... ( wordpress still indicates the plugin is version 4.0.1? not 4.0.2 as indicated on the beta download link)
also the download page states WP version 4 is necessary ( hence i updated to 3.4 )??? typo maybe!

have tested it on local dev site and still have the same issue. Have updated to WP 3.4 and still have the same issue.

Thanks Angelo

Instead of using that theme, try using the Custom Post Types plugin called "Custom Post Type UI". This is the plugin I use for my testing. I just enter the 4 pieces of information at the top (I did not use the advanced options) and added the custom post type clicking "Create Custom Post Type" button, then I configured my PowerPress podcast channel specifically for that post type and was then all set as far as my custom podcast feed is concerned.

Just to double check, you did go to PowerPres Settings > Channels > edit channel and go to the last tab "other options", you did select the custom post type in this drop down right?

And it does appear to be working on my end in your podcast feed: http://fcffmag.co.uk/feed/chips_and_chatter/

i did exactly that.

when i follow the above link i still get no entries using chrome on my mac

the live site is still using WP 3.2.1 and the isnt using the beta version of your app.

the dev site is using WP 3.4 and the beta and has the same problems.

Hi Angelo...

strangely using the dev installation WP 3.4 and your beta plugin i have managed to get it to work.

here is what i ded

i changed the powerpress ==> settings ==> feeds to ' do not enhance feeds'.

this applies the settings below to only the channel feed

I hope this means something to you and your team.

Regards

Mark

Yes, it means you will only see podcast episodes in your podcast only feeds.

feed does not validate..

This feed does not validate.
line 17, column 21: XML parsing error: <unknown>:17:21: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]

something to do with the description...


<description>Chips & Chatter is the podcast serving ALL the nations favourite takeaways.</description>

Are we looking at two different things? I just validated http://fcffmag.co.uk/feed/chips_and_chatter/ and it's fine.

Hi Angelo,

i changed it to 'and' seemed like the easiest thing to do..

anyways i have removed w3totalcache from the equation as it was affecting the feed. I have submitted the http://fcffmag.dev/feed/chips_and_chatter/ feed to iTunes and it pulled the images and description etc etc.

however i still have no entries in feed which is weird as when i go to the feed url and click the feed button it expands with the whole feed entry and i see the episode in the feed.

so just to clarify...

i am using headway theme version 3.2.1
WP 3.4
Powerpress beta V 4.0.2 ( as stated on your beta page ) however it displays as version 4.0.1 inside the installation.
I have the feed settings set to 'do not enhance'
I have taken the feed http://fcffmag.co.uk/feed/chips_and_chatter/ and submitted to iTunes and it pulled the images and descriptions i set up using the podcast channel chips and chatter

but when i use chrome extension to discover the feeds i have no entries.... again ( :-\)

im sad....

Mark

I think your crossing your local "dev" with your production. You submitted http://fcffmag.dev/feed/chips_and_chatter/ (dev), I never herd of .dev and I assume you set that up with /etc/hosts (windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts). I use .local for my local development/testing, smart people make up their own root domains :)

Did you mean to submit http://fcffmag.co.uk/feed/chips_and_chatter/ ?
