How to Redirect Wordpress Podcast Feed to a Feedburner feed in iTunes

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were getting paid to promote podpress plugins. 😉 I don't need an additional plugin on my site because I run feedburner feeds. I just need to make sure my feedburner is set up correctly. The original feed you are seeing without the itunes tags is the wordpress feed. Once iTunes is properly routed to my podcast's feedburner feed, all of the itunes tags will be included via their smartcast functionality. Podpress isn't necessary. That's why they weren't included to begin with - I was using the wrong feed address. Now that I know the correct feed address, I need to redirect itunes and I need to know how to edit my wordpress feed so I can redirect it to itunes. I found the directions elsewhere, but as you noted, I put the itunes redirect tag in the wrong place. So, thanks for that!

I posted a new thread because I was looking for someone else to answer who COULD advise on wordpress and who would not pressure me to add yet another plugin to my site as I'm capable of editing code with my wordpress install. 🙂

Now that I've placed the redirect tags in the proper location, can you advise if that will flow through to the individual categories as well or should I start a new thread?

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

I hear emailing them takes forever.

What's the beginning iTunes declaration (the actual code) and where do I need to place it?

That way, I'll place the declaration and then it can re-route, once it re-routes I can see if it's working or not. I'm using the smartcast functionality in feedburner, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work once I've re-routed successfully.

Fantastic!

Ok, so I've added the declaration.

Now, you're saying iTunes should be able to redirect the wordpress podcast feed to my feedburner feed no problem? Once it does, of course, I'll have to make sure it's inserting the rest of the iTunes tags...if it's not, I can hand enter it, but I'm hoping feedburner takes care of it for me! *crosses fingers*

Oh gees! OK, does it take a moment to update? I JUST changed it in my cpanel.....

This is what it looks like now in my feed-rss2.php file:

<rss version="2.0"

xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"

<?php while( have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<itunes:new-feed-url>http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheStdProjectPodcasts</itunes:new-feed-url>

Ok, I've reset my coding back to how it was without the tags. I'll have to do some additional research to figure out how I can redirect to feedburner. Thanks again.

Yes - I did just that, actually. Once I reset my coding back to where it was originally, the feedburner feed registered all of the iTunes tags. So, I decided to email them to have them switch it for me rather than trying to tinker with code anymore.

So, that's good news - I hope the respond to my request just as quickly!

Thanks again for all of your help!!

They fixed it yesterday! 🙂 All is up and running now. Thanks again!
