Title of my podcast is not displayed in ITunes

The title was displaying fine for a long time but I noticed that in tunes store, it now says "NO Title" on my podcast. In here is the feed:

http://specialneedsinmycity.com/feed/podcast/

How do I correct it? In the powerpress settings, the feed title (show title) has the text in it but it's not seeing the text and as a result, it says "no title" in itunes store for this podcast.

Help. Any suggestions of how to fix this?

Thank you.

Your 'title' tag is empty, hence the 'No title' in iTunes. I can't advise on Powerpress but Shawngordo, who works for them, posts sometimes in the Producing Podcasts forum and I've asked the Hosts to move this thread there. (That forum is the best place to ask about a podcast you've made yourself.)

If this thread doesn't get moved you could ask again in the Producing Podcasts forum, or contact Blubrry Support directly. Make it clear that the issue is that the title isn't getting into the feed (it's not an issue with iTunes).

Please make sure you're running the latest versions of both PowerPress and WordPress. There was a bug with an older version of WordPress that caused RSS feeds to lose their titles.

Thank you for your suggestion. I did do both. How can I check that the title is getting attached to the feed other than in ITunes since it'll take a day or so for Store to display it.

Thanks again.

The title is now in the feed. The Store hasn't caught up yet but it shows for subscribers.

The title is very long - it may not show complete in the Store; in iTunes people have to expand the column to see it all.

Roger, you're always so helpful. I'll shorten the title length. Once again, thanks so much!
