Q: My Podcasts Stopped Showing Up in iTunes

Good evening,

 

About three weeks ago my podcasts stopped showing up in iTunes. At first I thought it was just an update issue on their end, but they never showed up again. Apple podcast support told me it was an RSS feed issue and that I needed to validate my RSS. I validated my feed on Feed Validator, CastFeed and podba. All three say my RSS feed is valid. However, CastFeed did say each episode has "Enclosure Invalid". And Feed Validator said I had "unknown namespace". I don't know what ether of these things mean. And even my research hasn't seemed to help me understand how to fix my problem or if either of these things is the real problem.

 

I am doing my absolute best, without Apple's podcast support desk (that speaks in tech speak and points you in certain directions, but never seems to give you an actual way to fix your problem), to figure out what is going on in order to take care of it. My new podcasts are showing up in my RSS feed and they are even updating to iTunes (I saw the new podcasts when I tried to revalidate my RSS feed through Podcasts Connect). They are just not showing up on my iTunes page.

 

This is my RSS feed: http://coachkathywilson.com/feed/podcast/?wpmfeedkey=2;65c65876c81fbf3e04571559d 580b67a. I use the Blubrry plugin on my WordPress site to host my podcasts and my podcasts upload from WordPress to iTunes. (Please forgive me if I'm not using the right terminology.)

 

Can you please help me? The last answers to this questions that I can find are from three years ago and I know many things have changed since then.

 

Thanks,

Kathy Wilson
