   Being really new to wordpress (2 weeks), I have completed the installation and changed themes and kind of found my way around wp. I have just one unresolved issue:

   I am trying to publish a podcast on iTunes, and I seem to have everything set up correctly after a few days of tinkering EXCEPT iTunes insist that my podcast is in english (after iTunes finishes checking the feed), which is not the case. I am trying to convince my wp installation to tell iTunes, that I am podcasting in danish.

   As far as I found out, I need to change the language tag. Is there anyway I can do this, so it applies to my overall site, and all future posts in wp, or is there a workaround, so I can stick it in just the 1 post, and get going with my podcasting project?

   My feed url is: http://www.petersperspektiv.dk/wordpress/?feed=rss2

   Hope somebody can help me out.

   Further information:

   1. I use the Blubrry powerpress plugin for tagging my podcasts, but it doesn´t seem to support the language tag without modification.

   2. I have no skills in php, but can edit/upload/download and otherwise customize things - so if you have a solution, please take this into consideration.

   3. I am using the WP Modern Notepad theme.

   regards

   SOLVED:

   Apparently you need to go into the database itself using PhpMyAdmin. Look for the wp_options table, find the rss_language value, and change it to da for danish (or substitute with the language code for your country).

   Really thanks.

   not checked in 2.7, but in 2.6 and earlier you can always access raw WP options with the 'hidden' admin page at wp-admin/options.php to edit usually inaccessible options like this. rather than resort to phpadmin stuff

   alternatively you can do filter cleverness in your functions.php

   "pre_option_[optionid]" - a filter to 'short circuit' options and provide a quick set result
   "option_[optionid]" - a filter that is passed the value as a parameter so you can 'post-process' it

   thank you for the options page! I finally got my rss feed to validate by switching language from en_us to en-us

   I had no clue where that was defined

   An option to select the language for the feeds will be included in the next version of PowerPress, 0.8.0.

   Help! My RSS feed won't validate because it's missing this language setting. When I go to wp-admin/options.php I have NO rss_language setting to change/fix. There's nothing there even with the word "language" in it. How do I add this?

   you'll need to modify your database directly. I think it's the 3rd post in this topic that tells where the item in question is located. it worked for me changing it to en-us
