I am building a new podcast and having some problems with the feed. The Podcast is titled Brass Call, but it is showing up in the iTunes Store as Brass CallBrass Call. The page for the podcast in the sore is https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brass-callbrass-call/id833068144?mt=2. I'm using power press and have had not other issues What can I do to rectify this?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
Your feed is at http://brasscall.com/feed/
Your 'title' tag' reads
<title>Brass CallBrass Call</title>
so it's not surprising that that is what the Store is showing. Just edit the title in the same place you originally entered it and republish the feed. Subscribers will see the change pretty well immediately but the Store will take a few days to update.
Does that mean deleting the podcastin iTunes and starting over or is it something I can fix on my end and it should resolve itself?
You created your feed in WordPress, so it's there that you have to make the change. Wherever you originally entered the title, it's there that you need to change it. Then republish the feed and wait for the Store to catch up. You can check that it's 'taken' by subscribing (if you are already subscribed, delete it and subscribe again) as changes will show there immediately.
Do not try to get the podcast deleted from iTunes. It's not necessary and you will just be making difficulties for yourself.
Sorry but just to clairify, by republish, you mean that I should just push out a new Episode and that should kick that changes through iTunes?
In theory all you need to do is to change the title and re-upload the file to the server. However it's possible that the Store may not recognize the feed as having changed until you add a new episode - I'm not sure about that. I should change the title and reupload, then add a new episode when you're ready.
I'll try it both ways and let you know, thanks Roger
The title has still not up dated. Do I need to delete previous episodes and the republish for the changes to take effect maybe?
It's changed - that's actually pretty quick, it might have taken at least 2 days.
