Episodes Not Showing in iTunes
« on: August 25, 2015, 02:05:38 pm »
Hey all,

I had my podcast approved and listed in iTunes a couple weeks back, with my initial podcast showing.

I have since posted two episodes through PowerPress this week (one two nights ago and one last night), but they are not showing in iTunes.  Should these episodes already be posting?  Is there an issue with my feed?  Please let me know.

I'm going to officially publicize the podcast and launch episodes on a weekly basis, but I want to understand the lag time between posting through PowerPress and showing up in iTunes, so I can time their hitting my listeners.  Please help!

Podcast feed: http://www.hishairwasperfect.com/?feed=podcast

Is the issue that I have submitted podcasts from a page rather than as a post?

Your podcast RSS feed is valid and appears to be working fine. One thing I can suggest is that you go into PowerPress >> Settings, advanced mode >> iTunes Subscription URL and copy this URL into that field:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/his-hair-was-perfect/id1025519715?mt=2

Scroll down and click the Save Changes button. Give it a couple days and if your iTunes Store listing still hasn't updated, you might want to file a support ticket here:
https://itunespodcasts.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

iTunes Store listings can be finicky and their update times aren't always predictable. Keep in mind that anyone who's subscribed to your feed will get all of the episodes, regardless of what's being displayed in the iTunes Store.

Podcasts have to be posted in a POST rather than a PAGE to be included in the feed.   

This is a wordpress thing, not a powerpress thing.   The post type "page" does not create an RSS feed.
