Duplicate feeds: /podcast/ and /feed/podcast/
« on: May 21, 2018, 03:25:45 pm »
I'm preparing to launch a new podcast, and downloaded PowerPress last week. In trying to set up my WordPress page to show my podcast episode show notes, I wasn't allowed to create a page with the address /podcast/ WordPress made me call it /podcast-2/

Eventually I looked at /podcast/ on my web site and saw an RSS Feed with the PowerPress logo on the right.

I went into PowerPress, advanced, and saw that it "thought" my podcast feed was /feed/podcast/ which seems to be "normal." And it exists at http://fourcolorsofmoney.com/feed/podcast/

I've searched the forum and the Wordpress Codex but can't find a way to delete the extra feed at /podcast/

Help!

I'm not a programmer but reasonably techie (I hand coded web sites in the very early days). Here is the code from the offending page at http://fourcolorsofmoney.com/podcast/ which I think would indicate that it was created by PowerPress.

Yes, that's EXACTLY what I needed! I had no idea that a category called Podcast was bad practice for SEO and for WordPress. Thank goodness I can fix that before I launch. THANKS!
