Podcast cover art must be at least 1400 X 1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.

I am receiving this error when I submit my Podcast rss Feed: http://emiratesdiary.com/feed/podcast

I have wordpress blog and use Powerpress plugin. I have used libsyn to host mp3. Image size is 2800*2800 Jpg.

Tried suggestions using previously solved threads.

Could anyone shed light and solve this for me?

MacBook Air, iOS 9.2.1

Your image is the correct dimensions (though there actually isn't any point in its being larger than 1400 x 1400) but the filesize is too large at 729kB - it must be less than 500kB.


A couple of points which don't impinge on the validity of your feed which are worth looking at. Looking at the top episode, the 'itunes:subtitle' tag is very long and will be truncated in display, so it's worth keeping it short.


The 'itunes:summary' tag contains some HTML code - iTunes will not render this but will show the code, which looks messy. You should stick to plain text. The simplest way is to write the summary in TextEdit in plain text mode and paste it in. Don't use a word processor.

There is HTML in the 'itunes:summary' tag for Episode 2.

I would have expected all this to show in iTunes but in fact it looks like this (I have to post an image as I can't copy out):

So perhaps you can get away with it. They may have recently changed the way iTunes handles this.

Hello Robert,


Appreciate your feedback and thank you for digging into the code.

I have removed all the HTML from the Podcast episodes.

However, there has been no change in the error that I received in the first place.

I do understand lot of the Wordpress features and this is the first time I am facing such a huge stumbling block.

What do you think I am missing here?
