Title: Google Podcast Link wrong
Post by: Martin Limbeck on October 13, 2018, 06:04:39 am: Hi,
my Podcast Leaders Cafe is on Google Podcasts, but the link generated automatically on your website (https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGVhZGVycy5jYWZlL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC8=) is not working anymore but gives a 404 error.
It used to work though...
Any ideas?

Find the Google Podcasts option and check the box next to Modify, then copy/paste the correct URL to your Google Podcasts listing and click the Save Changes button.

https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tYW5hZ2VtZW50dHJhaW5pbmcuZGUvY2F0ZWdvcnkvcG9kY2FzdC9mZWVkLw
https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGVhZGVycy5jYWZlL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdA

These two are working and I have saved them in the backend. So everything´s fine for me now.

Remains the problem, that the ones generated in your backend are wrong, though.
