iTunes is not picking up all episodes of my podcast.

iTunes is not picking up all episodes of my podcast. I have had no problems with episodes 1-18, but then it did not pick up episode 19. It was OK again with 20, and now it's not picking up 21. Did something like this happen to anybody else and/or does anybody have a clue why this could be?

Thank you! I appreciate any help!

The 'enclosure' tags in episodes 19 and 21 don't contain playable media: in fact they contain s small version of the balls of wool picture, hosted on Gravatar. Since the web page for episode 21 does seem to contain an audio file there is obviously something you did with the other episodesbut didn't do there which has caused the MP3 file not to make it into the feed - probably you have to enable it in some way, but I'm afraid I can't advise on Wordpress (which causes a lot of problems for podcasters).

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction - I figured it out!!!! Here is the story in case anybody else runs into this issue:


My audiofiles host (in my case archive.org, but could be anybody) posts the links to the mp3s with secure protocol (https). Apparently the Wordpress audio-tag doesn't like that. It does not recognize the audiofile if it is linked via https. Removed the s and we were good to go!



Big smile - finally at least one breakthrough with Wordpress!
