? Installation

2. Place the plugin folder inside your WordPress `wp-content/plugins` directory.
3. Activate the plugin via the WordPress admin dashboard (`Plugins` > `Installed Plugins`).

?? Configuration

After activation:

1. Go to Podcast Feed in the WordPress admin sidebar.
2. Fill in the required podcast settings: - Default cover URL (used when no `episode_cover` is set) - Author name (displayed in `<itunes:author>`) - Owner name and email (required by Apple) - Explicit flag (`true` or `false`)

? Custom Fields

The following custom fields are used per post:

| Field Name | Description | |--------------------|----------------------------------------------| | episode_cover | Custom episode image URL | | episode_mp3_url | Primary audio file URL (preferred) | | anchor_mp3_url | Fallback audio file URL | | episode_duration | Duration in HH:MM:SS format | | episode_number | iTunes episode number | | episode_season | iTunes season number | | episode_type | full, trailer, or bonus (default: full)|

? RSS Feed

Once the plugin is active, your podcast feed will be available at:

https://yourdomain.com/feed/podcast

You can submit this URL to podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.

? Notes

• Make sure your posts are categorized as `podcast`.
• Avoid using `<iframe>` tags in post content. These will be stripped from the feed automatically.
