   Hi there.

   Podcasting is great plugin and works as expected. However, after submitting my podcast to Apple, it has been rejected - for reasons unknown.

   Dear Podcast Owner

   The following podcast has not been included in the iTunes podcast directory.

   Name: Blind Deaf Records
   Feed URL: http://blinddeaf.cz/podcast.php?feed=podcast

   Submissions may not be included in the directory for a variety of reasons. For more information, please see the podcast technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html.

   Sincerely,

   The iTunes Store Team

   Well, I can only guess what is wrong. Maybe it is because of czech characters (like ě, š, č, ř, and so on).

   Note: Im forced to use my old cms until new website is developed on Wordpress. However, its already running next to it, so I renamed wordpress index.php to podcast.php for time being. Another thing is that I use download monitor 3 for monitoring how many times the podcast was downloaded.

   It works great, podcast can be succesfully subscribed into iTunes, but the only problem is rejection from iTunes Store.

   Can you help? Thanks for all your effort!

   You may have better luck using the Blubrry PowerPress podcasting plugin as it includes logic to support UTF-8, which is what iTunes requires. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/powerpress/

   If your podcast was already submitted to iTunes, you need to ping it manually once to see what your iTunes FEEDID is and also confirm that it is pulling the correct feed.

   Here's the link you want to use to manually ping iTunes. Replace the http://FEEDURL with your actual URL to your feed.
