Publishing Podcast on Wordpress
« on: September 30, 2017, 07:11:09 pm »
I just published this podcast episode on blubrry: http://media.blubrry.com/maxlax/content.blubrry.com/maxlax/Hannah_Upshaw_-_9_30_17_3.29_PM.m4a

I have powerpress on my website maxlaxoc.com.  I think I have connected powerpress and my blubrry account.  However, the podcast episode has not shown up in wordpress dashboard.  Assuming my understanding is correct that my podcast episodes published on blubrry should automatically publish on wordpress too, how long should it take?  How can I tell if my powerpress-blubrry connection is working?

Your media filename has a problem. The only . you can have in the filename is before the file extension. Your filename is:

Hannah_Upshaw_-_9_30_17_3.29_PM.m4a

There's a . between 3 and 29 and that's probably breaking stuff. Rename the file on your local drive and change the . between 3 and 29 to an underscore or something like that. Delete the file that's currently in your hosting account and then upload the renamed file and post back here and let us know if you're still having trouble getting the media file thru your WordPress dashboard.

I went back to your instructions to check my configuration on powerpress.  When I entered username and password (twice to make sure I got it right) per these instructions on the services and stats tab.  https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/powerpress-settings/services-stats/

However, I do not get the option to select a program.  ttps://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2856329/7f84d57b4dbd4e6b0c1c819e677a78eb.  Is this part of the problem?
