Moved Podcast Feed - 301 Redirect partially working

Recently moved our RSS feed.
Old -  http://www.edgemerechurch.org/wordpress/feed
New - http://edgemerechurchorg/feed/podcast
I modified .htaccess file to include 301 redirect from old feed to new one. 
Posts on the new feed are showing in iTunes
Two issues:
1. Links
"Podcast Website" links point to the old webpage in both iTunes, iTunes Store, and iTunes preview.
I am using Wordpress and Blubrry plugin
How is the podcast website determined?
Is it determined by the podcast file location?
Is there a way to change it?
2. Album Cover Art
Updated album cover art has propagated to iTunes app and iTunes program. However the iTunes store and iTunes preview (online) still shows old OLD album art work. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id639715033?i=335063000&mt=2
I'm not sure why the art is not updating in iTunes Store and iTunes preview (which I think are connected).
Is there a way to force the iTunes store to update?
Website:   http://edgemerechurch.org
Old Feed site: http://edgemerechurch.org/wordpress  (this was set up as a podcast only site)  I want to incorporate them both into one.
Thanks for any help.

The original feed URL you give redirects to the new URL you give, except that you have left out the dot before 'org'.
However this is not the feed that the Store is using. That is at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdgemereChurchOfChrist
This has episodes up to 7 February, and an image which is the same as that shown in the Store. The feed at
http://www.edgemerechurch.org/feed/podcast
has five episodes dated 8th February, and a different image. So basically you've been updating the wrong feed. I'm not sure how you got yourself into this position; probably you need to update Feedburner to using the latter feed, but if you want to retain the older episodes in the Store you will have to add them to that feed first.

  • 301 Redirects not working properly?

    I have 301 redirect that I update monthly to point to the correct page. It has worked flawlessly until the past week. I have noticed that it has taken longer for the update to happen. Meaning I want to redirect "page1" to "page3". I make the change in the admin and I see the update within a few minutes reflected on the site (before this past week it would happen almost instantly.)
    Then today it has been more than 30 min and the update still has not happened. Is this just an issue of slow propagation through the network and it can take some time or is this an issue?
    Note: The redirect in the admin reflects the correct link on the page itself and in the URL Redirect section of the admin.

    That's good, Lynda, because from the description we couldn't really tell what the problem could be. Perhaps you can provide the following to give us a better idea of what it may be:
    - The URL of the page you're adding the 301 to
    - The destination URL
    - The screenshot of the 301 setting in page properties.

  • ITunes Database & Moving a Feed

    I searched around this topic but all I could find were people having trouble moving their feed location. I've done that just fine by:
    1. Adding an .htaccess file with a 301 redirect. Works great.
    2. Putting an iTunes RSS tag (<itunes:new-feed-url>) into my old xml file. Which shouldn't matter since iTunes should follow the redirect, right?
    At any rate, the feed subscription works fine when going through ITS. Adding the old feed location manually redirects fine. The only problem is that when searching in ITS it won't show any new episodes when looking at the Podcast summary page. It makes it look like there is no new content.
    It's been about two and a half weeks. I'm not sure what else to change seeing as I followed the spec to the letter. Any ideas?
    Sorry if this isn't the right location...please point me in the right direction if I'm in the wrong forum.
    Thanks!

    For anyone who might care, the reason this was occurring was a FeedBurner feed setup for the site. I removed FeedBurner and now have no problems. Instead I am using PodPress, an amazing podcasting plugin for WordPress. Check it out, I think you'll be pleased!

  • Am I missing something when trying to fix a podcast feed issue?

    Hi!
    I've been working on this problem for about a month and I feel like I might be missing something obvious at this point.  So, I post it here in the hopes that one of you might be able to offer a suggestion on how I can fix my dilemma. 
    About a month ago I launched a second podcast on my website (wordpress/blubrry) and set up the 301 redirect as was recommended.  After several weeks the podcast feed wasn't updating on the iTunes directory even though I could see that the 301 redirect was working.  So, a few days ago I decided to go back and just keep things the way they originally were and took out the redirect and disabled my category podcast feed.  On my feed it is back to it's original settings, but iTunes is still not updating the feed after several days.
    Here is information on my podcast:
    House Flipping HQ
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/house-flipping-hq-podcast/id730653890?mt=2
    The feed which was originally confirmed in the email from iTunes when our podcast launched last year was this:
    Dear podcast owner,
    Your podcast, located at http://houseflippinghq.com/feed/podcast/, has been approved. You should expect to see it on the iTunes Store within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
    If you go to that feed you should see that it is working correctly.
    I have tried almost every day for the past month to figure out why this isn't working but to no avail.  Is there anything I might be missing or overlooking in my process?  If you have any thoughts they would be most welcome.
    Cheers!
    - Mark

    To check the feed in use: go to the iTunes Store in iTunes itself (not the web page that comes up first from the link - click 'View in iTunes') to the page for your podcast and click the 'Subscribe' button.
    Then go to the 'Podcasts' section to view your podcast: control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the title of your podcast (left column in 'My Podcasts' view or the main entry in List view) and choose 'Copy podcast URL'.
    If you have the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag in place this will show the feed being redirected to but doesn't prove that the Store has yet updated which it will do the first time it checks the feed after the tag has been inserted.

  • Podcast feed in iTunes Store hasn't updated since January!

    Hi,
    Our podcast feed which we have been running for over a year now stopped updating in iTunes Store and is still showing the latest podcast as Jan 2013 even though we put out 3 new episodes a week. If you are subscribed it works but people keep reporting to us about the iTS being months behind and it is bothering my employer.
    Our server was running slow and I have since fixed the problem and it made no difference.
    I reported a problem with the feed in iTunes and it made no difference.
    I relocated the feed to another server using a different system and url which is much faster using 301 redirect and placed all files on a high speed cdn but this has made no difference either... Also updated images too.
    I reported the problem again to iTunes and nothing changed.
    Help I need to get this sorted as I don't know what else to do!!!!! We can't start a new one as we have too many subscribers.
    iTS page: http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=564972472
    Old feed URL (301 redirect): http://nexuschurch.com.au/podcast-feed/feed.php
    New feed URL: http://www.nexuschurch.com.au/podcast.rss
    Thanks,
    Seth

    Your Store page lists 68 episodes running from 12 Jan 1012 to 19 Jan 2013. Clicking on the 'Subscribe' button brings up the feed at
    http://www.nexuschurch.com.au/podcasts.rss
    This feed has 15 episodes running from February 3 to 11 March this year. The old feed URL you give successfully redirects to the feed now in use in a browser, and evidently also when subscribing in iTunes; but it looks as if it is not working in the Store page. The correct method for redirecting a feed involves placing a special tag in the original feed and is outlined here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    According to Apple's own documentation a 301 redirect should work in the Store, but it looks as if for some reason it isn't.
    All I can suggest is that you place a copy of the feed at the old URL, adding the redirect link as described in my page, and remove the 301. This should move the Store to the present feed - it will probably take a couple of days or so to catch up.
    If for some reason you are unable to set up the feed at the old URL you can try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to move the Store - give them the Store page URL and both feed URLs.

  • Trouble getting podcast feed in iTunes store

    I am unable to submit a podcast. Apple states that "it appears the feed has already been submitted" but it is a new url and has not been previously submitted. It had been previously submitted under a different url, but there was a problem with the xml, which has since been corrected. I am at a loss.

  • Podcast feed not working in iTunes

    Hi there,
    I am trying to get a podcast feed for a client set up to work in iTunes. About the setup:
    This is a self-hosted wordpress site, using the feedburner/SmartCast to create iTunes-friendly feeds. The site does use HTTPS as parts of it handle credit card processing.
    Here is the feed XML (Chrome): view-source:http://feeds.feedburner.com/UnderTenFitness
    Here is the feed link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/UnderTenFitness
    The feed validates at http://castfeedvalidator.com/ and http://validator.w3.org/. Other podcast services pick it up just fine. Just iTunes. I've tried testing it by manually subscribing to it in iTunes, and the episodes/meta load fine, but the audio files neither play nor download. I also can't seem to find any kind of error message to describe what the hold up seems to be - just the ! next to the episode. I can briefly see a window that says "Connecting" but it dies right away.
    Any insight into what's going wrong here would be much appreciated. I've added MIME types to the server for MP3 files, about to change the main icon from PNG to JPEG on some random recommendation that sometimes iTunes doesn't like PNG files.
    I've also tried:
    taking the media link outside the audio player shortcode and just putting it in as href
    using both http:// and https:// for the media link
    I'm sure I've missed something basic here - but my experience with podcasting prior to this project was "I like to listen to them." So any suggestions appreciated.
    Regards,
    Hannah

    The problem lies with the media files rather than the feed. The URL given for your top media file is
    http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnderTenFitness/~5/cn0Ui9M2FyI/2015-01-27-Psorias is-Natural-Remedies.mp3
    This redirects to
    https://www.undertenfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015-01-27-Psoriasis- Natural-Remedies.mp3
    The first URL works when you enter it in a browser, but on subscribing iTunes refuses to play it. These redirects using Feedproxy can cause problems, though they don't always, and frankly I would advise avoiding its use and providing a direct URL to the media file. Furthermore the URL for the actual file begins with https (secure connection) and this is also asking for trouble. Sometimes it works, but it's better avoided. Just removing the 's' so that it's http works with some servers but it appears not to hear. So you need to look into the matter of hosting your media files.

  • Re-submitting my podcast feed after it has been deleted dosen't work?

    Hi
    I had recently submitted a podcast feed for my company. However I made a mistake in asking to have it deleted so I could make some changes.
    Now having completely revised my understanding of how the feed works, I have now re-submitted my feed:
    http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/podcast.xml
    When the podcast was up before it ran fine, and was very popular. My feed is valid, I can subscribe using the 'advanced - subscribe to podcast' in iTunes. But for some reason it won't register. I have re-submitted the same feed 3 times and I don't get a 'duplicate feed' warning, it just says that it is submitted and I will be getting an email, but nothing happens.
    I desperately want to get this up and running asap, what is wrong here?
    Thanks

    I can't really say what is going on, but I don't think submitting from another account or changing the IP number will have any effect. Normally in this situation you should change the title slightly, and also rename the feed - as I suggested, you could call it podcast1.xml (so that the URL changes) - these are the parameters affecting it. The only other possibility I can think of is that you have managed to introduce some problem into the feed which is causing it not to be accepted (though if you can subscribe from the 'Advanced' menu this seems unlikely).
    Would you like to post the URL of the revised feed?

  • RSS/Podcast Feeds...Can it still work with Dreamweaver?

    Hi all...I've grown out of iWeb and am moving onto Dreamweaver.
    With that said...I am still pretty much a newbie (and a consumer) when it comes to web authoring.
    Can I still use iWeb to update and publish both my blog and podcast feed even though I am switching my site to Dreamweaver? I want only those two pages (blog and podcast) to be authored in iWeb because it makes it easy to publish.
    Does anyone else have experience with this...or the best way to do it?
    Thanks!

    Sure you can. Just keep publishing your blog and podcast to .Mac or to a server of your choice. Then publish your dreamweaver pages to either .Mac Homepages (in the Sites folder) or to the same server of your choice. You can then provide links back and forth to the iWeb and Dreamweaver pages and vice versa to keep things looking like part of one big site.

  • Moving my Feed.xml location

    I am in the process of moving my website to a new location. Everything is ready to go, the podcasts are uploaded but I can't figure out how to get it to change in iTunes. There's no way to report a change in location and I don't want to remove it due to the amount of listeners I already have subscribing to it. Can someone clue me into how to make this happen??
    My new feed is:
    http://kingscasthockeypodcast.com/podcast/feed.xml
    My old feed is:
    http://www.kingscast.net/KingsCast/KingsCast/rss.xml
    (I am moving my domain name as well but the new feed will always work.)
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Here's what I did a couple of years ago when changing domain names for the podcast I produce. I took advantage of Apache's .htaccess feature to tell podcatcher software on subscriber's computers that the URL of the feed had permanently changed. This assumes that you have ftp access to the old domain's server, and that it's running Apache (other web server software probably has a similar feature).
    When the move needs to happen I created a .htaccess file containing the line:
    Redirect 301 /feed.xml http://www.newdomain.com/feed.xml
    and uploaded it to the old domain's public_html folder. The "Redirect 301" means that the URL http://www.olddomain.com/feed.xml is permanently redirected, so iTunes will update the feed URL the very next time that it "hits" the old URL (during a refresh of the feeds). This should also work for other podcatcher software.
    Also, the iTunes Store will automatically change the URL that new listeners subscribe to the very next time it checks your feed.
    There is a special tag for iTunes mentioned in the tech specs for telling iTunes about a new feed location, but with the Redirect 301 method you won't need to use it. (The iTunes way would only work for iTunes subscribers, not for those using other podcatching software.)
    Cheers,
    Greg.

  • Need to move podcast feed from MobileMe hosting to DreamHost

    I apologize if this has been covered, I could not find anything on the forum however to help. I currently host a podcast through MobileMe. I've created the podcast site through GarageBand/iWeb. I want to continue using the iWeb site, but host it on DreamHost (for reasons of disk space, etc). I have purchased a new domain name (talesfromthemousehouse.com) from DreamHost and wish to "migrate" the iWeb site to this new domain. Plus, I want to move the podcast feed along with it, so that all my old episodes etc goes to the new host, and the only thing my listeners will notice is that the site has a new address (www.talesfromthemousehouse.com). Now...I've yet to find anyone or anything that can properly help me, including Apple support. What I thought should be an easy task has turned out to be quite a nightmare. My podcast feed is: http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
    Can anyone help? I know that (from the Apple podcast documentation), I need to insert some code <itunes:new-feed> or something, but WHERE? Nothing tells me HOW to access the stuff to edit in iWeb/MobileMe. I would love to get this done as soon as possible, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks! Al

    I'm working with fairly minimal information here: as I understand it your original feed was
    http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
    This feed does not contain the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag. Did you put a tag in it and then remove it?
    iTunes shows your podcast in the Store at
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/tales-from-the-mouse-house/id371928528
    However it's looking for a feed at http://talescast.com/ so presumably this is the URL you entered in the redirect tag?
    However, it's not a feed - it's the Personal Domain referral to your web page at
    http://talescast.com/Site_4/Home.html
    As this is a web page and not a feed, iTunes can't read it. You have now painted yourself into a corner: as you need to enter the redirect tag in a feed to get iTunes to redirect, and iTunes can't read a feed at the UTRL you gave it, you can't redirect it.
    You now have only two options. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
    The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to the Discussions Forum (which may have sent the questioner there in the first place): however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck who you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

  • Help with 301 redirect code - jsp in url

    I'm trying to set a 301 redirect in my jsp code (this is tomcat btw) using this:
    <%
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
    response.setHeader("Location", "http://www.mysite.com/record/pleasehelpme /helpmeheretoo");
    response.setStatus(301);
    %>
    the pleasehelpme and helpmeheretoo need to use variable values i get from mysql which i would normally express in the application like
    <%=(((Recordset1_data = Recordset1.getObject("avariable"))==null || Recordset1.wasNull())?"":Recordset1_data)%>
    so what do i need to stick in those parts of the path in the url?
    it works great redirecting to a flat url but I need those variable (well, that's the point of this anyway).
    sticking the <%= recordset stuff %> is breaking since it's like a tag in a tag (i guess) - have tried variations on sticking println around (String)Recordset1.getObject("avariable") like
    "http://www.mysite.com/record/(out.println(String)Recordset1.getObject("avariable"))"
    and variations with curly braces and semicolons and everything but i keep getting
    Syntax error on token "avalue", invalid AssignmentOperator
    errors. (i'm obviously tring to figure out just one variable before i stick both in the path while i get this figured out).
    can someone hit me with a clue stick?

    And then finally I found a .php option (which I saved in my root directory)
    <?php
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: http://www.downtoearthlandscaping.ca/#!/page_Home");
    ?>
    I
    This works, does your server support php?
    You don't need:
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    Just this:
    <?php
    header("Location: http://www.downtoearthlandscaping.ca/#!/page_Home");
    ?>
    Saved as index.php
    The server will find index.php and the first page should be displayed.

  • Question on 301 redirects

    In MX 7, I am attempting to do 301 redirects, using the
    attached code placed in application.cfc. The code works perfectly
    -- just as long as the files I'm attempting to redirect remain
    physically present. If they are removed or renamed, though, I get a
    404 error. If the redirected files can never go away, doesn't that
    partially negate the utility of a 301 redirect? Is there any way
    around this?

    I see what you're trying to do, but the 404 condition trips
    (I would think
    by the web server, even before the CF server is involved?)
    before the
    Application.cfc has a chance to do the 301.
    You should probbably define a 404 template that then palms
    processing off
    to your 301 template, as needs must.

  • ITunes podcast feed not updating

    My podcast feed was broken in January. It is now working again, but iTunes is not picking it up. Do I have to do something to re-start it and get it working again?
    When I go to iTunes and find my podcast, it shows all the most recent podcasts up until late January (and none of the recent ones). (please note I have two podcasts which appear identical - one is mp3 and one is m4a feed...I plan to delete the m4a feed asap)
    Interestingly, when I subscribe to the feed in the iTunes store,it shows only then ONE most recent podcast (which doesn't even appear in the list as described in the previous paragraph).
    The feed address is: http://www.wilymanager.com/feed/podcast/?wpmfeedkey=1;292f771b94206b1dd91b4a301f 03c5d6
    Would greatly appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Sue

    The feed you link to is entitled 'Wily Manager MP3 Feed'. Searching on 'Wily Manager' in the Store brings up two podcasts, both called only 'Wily Manager'.
    The one at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/wily-manager/id351213931 is looking for a feed at:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/wilymanager/mp3
    The one at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/wily-manager/id351231957 is looking for a feed at:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/wilymanager/m4a
    There is no feed at either of these addresses: basically you've been updating a feed at the wrong address. Since iTunes cannot find a feed in either case it cannot update the Store page, and subscribing produces an error.
    I don't know how you've got to the feed with the complex URL but it's not being used by iTunes. You need to be able to go back to having a feed at the URL I give above.

Maybe you are looking for
