[resolved] Merging old and new RSS feeds for podcast (3 posts)

    Previously created a non-Wordpress RSS feed at http://www.faithnfm.com/podcasts/pgssclass/pgsscast.rss

    Created a new WordPress blog at http://pastor.faithnfm.com

    How can I get the new feed to append to the old feed? iTunes is pointed at the old feed, so I want to keep that, but I want WordPress to manage my feed.

    I'm using PodPress to create podcast feed.

    I feel like this is something really simple that I'm blanking on.

    You cannot merge feeds like that. WordPress does not create a feed file anywhere, it generates the feed on the fly, when it is requested. This ensures that its feed is always up to date.

    Instead, recreate those old entries in WordPress, so that its own feed contains them as well. Then switch to the new feed address.

    Switching iTunes to the new feed can be done by editing the old feed and inserting the <itunes:new-feed-url>http://example.com/feed</itunes:new-feed-url> into the <channel> level. iTunes will notice this tag and switch the next time it retrieves the feed, so leave it there a while.
